Posting Guidelines:
If you're new to the site, I recommend that you poke around for a while before posting. Read the recent posts to get a sense of the tone of discussions.

1. Have your questions been asked and answered
Use the Search Feature to see if you can locate the answer to your question, before jumping in and posting. If you can't find what your looking for, then by all means feel free to post your question.

2. Subject lines
Subjects are what help others find information and answers, they should be clear and descriptive of what the post is about. Topics with non-descriptive subjects, will be deleted!

3. Restrain Yourself
Once your question has been answered, don't add another question or questions to the thread. Go back and start again with the search feature to see if you can locate the answer.
3b. Closed Topics
You may notice many topics have been closed. Normal procedure here is once your question has been answered and you have acknowledged the answer, the thread is closed. This is being done to assist others in finding information by eliminating never ending threads.

4. Do not type in all CAPS
This is considered shouting, is hard on the eyes and posts in all CAPS will bring you a warning and should you continue the posts may be deleted.

5. Avoid Off Topic Postings
Often people post remarks that have nothing to do with the subject of the post. These will be moved or deleted at my discretion, so please conduct yourself appropriately. Post about the topic at hand, not about the people posting. Keep your comments and questions relevant to the focus of the thread. Remember that you're taking up others time when they read your posts. Most of them do not have the time to wade through irrelevant and senseless messages. Don't post simply to complain about someone else's spelling and grammar.

6. Do not impersonate others.
One user should not impersonate another user or another users work. this will get you banned!

7. Vicious & Malicious Postings
Posts that do nothing but criticize or attack another poster without any contribution to the forum will be deleted. Anyone consistently attacking another member or members will be banned . Posts should not harass, embarrass or threaten other users.

8. Use the Private Message Feature When Appropriate
If you have something personal to say to someone posting in the thread, send that user a private message.

9. SPAM
Do not use the forums or private message feature to SPAM registered users with promotional materials

10. Your Profile
Your Personal Profile Information is REQUIRED, if you can not or do not wish to provide us this information, your ability to post on this site will be subject to moderation by the forum MOD's prior to being made public. Other restrictions also apply.
