General forum behavior
1. Aggressive or unnecessarily offensive behavior will not be tolerated.
- IE, no personal attacks, insults, bigotry, or condescending language.
2. Please check current threads before posting a new thread, often your topic has been, or is in the process of being addressed.
3. No pointless forum posts (this will be less strict in ("thread killer")
4. No double posting, rather edit your previous post. ("thread killer" included)
5. Check your extreme fanboyism at the door. While there is space for everybody’s opinions, it is important to respect those of your fellow forumites. Argue your points in a civilized and rational manner with out getting personal.
6. Keep single word replies to a minimum. If you agree, then say why you agree rather than simply posting “+1” or “I agree” etc.
7. Trolls will not be tolerated.
- Troll: “Most commonly encountered on the internet, a troll is any person who purposely causes controversy in a web community and disrupts a forum for their own amusement.”
8. No spamming (TK will be less strict, but will still be moderated)
- Spam is (1) making multiple topics of the same nature, (2) making multiple topics with no purpose,
(3) making multiple short replies back-to-back in a topic, (4) making multiple short replies in several topics (usually with the purpose of running up your post count), and (5) making long posts that repeat the same word, phrase, or smilie with the intent to annoy other users.
