Forum Rules

Read the General Rules and System Usage Policies as posted above. These are also applicable in the community forum.

Do not post advertisements in the community forum. Keep all advertisements in the main website. Posting unrelated links of your website is one form of an advertisement. Keep those links in your forum signature.

Post topics in the correct category.

Avoid off-topic discussions. Create a separate topic instead. Also avoid posts that will "hijack" the discussion from the original topic. Posts preventing other members to join the discussion must also be avoided (e.g. posts that can be understood by only a few members).

Avoid creating a new topic which has already been discussed. Use the search functionality of the forum to check if an existing or related topic already exists.

Using "ALL CAPS" (all or majority) for Forum Topic Titles or Message Posts are strictly NOT allowed.

Avoid using "Text Speak" or "SMS Language" as it makes reading forum posts difficult. (Give yourself a favor and know how to type words correctly. Posts are not limited to 160 characters.)

Avoid using camel-case text (ThiS Is a sAMplE oF CamEl cASe TeXt) as it also makes reading forum posts difficult.

Use descriptive topic title/subject.

Avoid very short and non-sense posts. Also, avoid excessive use of smilies or emoticons. Smilies or emoticons must not exceed 25% of your message post (an emoticon is considered as a word). Therefore, message post made up of only emoticons is not allowed.

Avoid non-sense topics or topics which are not really meant for discussion.

Posting same messages at different topics multiple times is considered spam and strictly NOT allowed. Also, multiple posts in succession in a topic is strictly NOT allowed unless you are quoting responses. If you need to add something in your previous and recent post, edit that post instead.

Articles copied from other websites must always contain an attribute link to the address of the copied article. Copy/Paste articles from other websites NOT worthy for discussion are NOT allowed.

Avoid arguing a moderator's decision in public. Any disagreement must first be addressed to the moderator concerned privately (via a private message or email). Unresolved arguments must then be submitted to the forum administrator supported by the user and moderator's positions.

Avoid adding irrelevant images to forum posts.

Avoid using languages or dialects other than English or Filipino as a sign of respect to other members who cannot read and understand other languages or dialects.

Be sensible, polite and use common sense when joining any discussion. Show respect to other members so that they can show respect to you in return. Discussions should be kept within the spirit of fun, cooperation and information dissemination.

Avoid attacks to any members. Any public attacks whether explicit or implied will not be tolerated.
