In order to keep the forums running well and to prevent problems, please follow these simple rules for the forums here. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact one of the Staff Members.

General Rules:

* While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters.
* Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts, copy or double posts or the such.
* Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
* Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum email and Private message system to spam other members.
* Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts. For style changes and general 'how-to' questions this should be 24 hours. For specific troubleshooting issues, use 12 hours as a guideline.
* We also do not allow posts that are sexual in nature or violate community standards. The team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.
* Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.
* Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
* While we are quite happy to have constructive comparative conversations about other products, we will not tolerate blatant adverts or the sort of 'ooh look, yet another bulletin board' threads. Also, we would appreciate it if you refrain from blatant bashing of other boards.
* We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
* Post in english only.
* Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
* You cannot post any affiliate or referral links, or post anything asking for a referral. Such posts will be subject to removal.
* You cannot post advertisements or notices for contests.
Any threads/posts of these types will be deleted.
* We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules, as access to our support forums are a privilege and not a right.
* Each time a member gets a warning a temporary ban will be placed upon them and if they keep on breaking the rules, a permanent ban would be deserved.

1st warning = 2 days temp ban
2nd warning = 1 week temp ban
3rd warning = perm ban

Advertising Services

We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products or services. Explicit advertising and solicitating in sigs is also prohibited.

Signatures

User of the PC support forums should add PC systems specifications to their signature to help troubleshooting.

Links in signatures must follow these guidelines:

* Promotional text for a commercial product or service is not ok, unless permission has been granted by the administrator.
* A link and promotional text for a site that is not commercial and does not contain product(s) and/or service(s) is allowed, provided the site is not sexual or does not violate community standards. The team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. (Examples include sites about drugs and/or sex.)
* Duplicate links to the same URL in a sig are not allowed.

Avatars

Avatars that may be confused with official staff avatars are not allowed.

Licenses for Sale

We do not allow people to post that are looking to sell or buy a used a license. While you are allowed to sell and transfer your license to another owner, these forums are not the appropriate place to do this.
