These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on PHPBB3 Template Server. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.

1. Our Rules

   1. Keep it friendly #
   2. Appreciate that others may have an opinion different from yours. #
   3. When creating a new discussion thread, give a clear topic title and put your post in the appropriate category. When contributing to an existing discussion, try to stay 'on topic'. If something new comes up within a topic that you would like to discuss, start a new thread. #
   4. Don't hold back in sharing your knowledge – it's likely someone will find it useful or interesting. When you give information, provide your sources. #
   5. Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech. #
   6. These forums define spam as unsolicited advertisement for goods, services and/or other web sites, or posts with little, or completely unrelated content. Do not spam the forums with links to your site or product, or try to self-promote your website, business or forums etc.
      Spamming also includes sending private messages to a large number of different users. #
   7. Providing or asking for information on how to illegally obtain copyrighted materials is forbidden. #
   8. Any material which constitutes defamation, harassment, or abuse is strictly prohibited. Material that is sexually or otherwise obscene, racist, or otherwise overly discriminatory is not permitted on these forums. This includes user pictures. Use common sense while posting. #
   9. Please refrain from posting the same question in several forums. There is normally one forum which is most suitable in which to post your question. #
   10. Do not send private messages to any users asking for help. If you need help, make a new thread in the appropriate forum then the whole community can help and benefit. #
   11. All posts should be professional and courteous. You have every right to disagree with your fellow community members and explain your perspective.
       
       However, you are not free to attack, degrade, insult, or otherwise belittle them or the quality of this community. It does not matter what title or power you hold in these forums, you are expected to obey this rule. #
   12. Please do not post threads text in all CAPITALS since this is considered to be shouting and is not necessary. #
   13. Please refrain from posting images larger than 800x600. This is considerate to members with slow internet speeds, and keeps the forum looking tidy. #
   14. Insulting and flaming or personal attacks against forum staff will be not tolerated. #
   15. Swearing is not completely banned, just do not swear unnecessarily, and only use minor words. A filter is in place to safeguard this system. #
