Post by: WindSplitter1 on July 01, 2017, 04:10:11 PM
Welcome to the INFAMERS Forum!

Please, take a minute or two to read the Forum rules before starting to post. This has been shown to you upon registration. To make sure you didn't miss it, here are the rules again. This is updated from time to time, so be sure to check it out every now and then and pay attention to the announcements and news.


Forum Rules
1 – Forum Etiquette
The general rules here are the “If you wouldn’t say it in real life, don’t say in online” and “Be Nice; Be respectful” policies which are broken down below. In plain terms, it means you should reconsider less appropriate choice of wording and treat others as you would like them to treat you. We reserve the right to moderate, modify and/or remove content which we deem to be unacceptable in our Forum that is not stated here.

2 – Do not swear or curse

Excessive profanity has no place in the forum. We encourage everyone to moderate themselves and think twice before submitting such content.


3 – The official language of this Forum is English

Should the necessity or interest arise, we will make provisions to accommodate other languages as well.


4 – Be relevant
Please, stay on topic and post/open topics in the appropriate section. If required, contact the moderation team to move the topic to where it is relevant. Topics steering out of their original context are subject to be closed, moved or deleted at our moderation team’s sole discretion.

5 – Be constructive
While opening a topic or posting a reply, ensure you are about to state something reasonable that is on-topic and helpful. Always contribute in a positive way to the solution or discussion.
