Forum etiquette These "netiquette's" will help you and others make the most of the forums:
1. Before posting your question, search the forum. Attempt to post in the appropriate catagory.
2. To increase the likelihood of starting a discussion provide details in your comment or question.
3. Be patient. All the participants of this forum, including moderators, are using the forum and will participate in discussions on their own time.
4. Help others. The forum is a community, and works best when people share information. Give feedback. If someone helps you by answering your question try to add a follow-up response letting them know if it worked or not.
5. Welcome newcomers. Make them feel welcome in the community.
6. Please try and keep descriptions generic, avoid using actual names, or identifying situations.
7. Honor others rights to privacy in this very public forum do not ask for personal information which includes location, age, address, and other related details upfront.
8. Please do not post multiple copies of a message.
9. If you are replying to the last post in a long thread, it is perfectly understandable and acceptable to simply answer it. However, if you are replying to a post further up in the thread, you may want to include a quote from, or a short recap of the post to which you are replying.
10. "Flaming" is insulting another user's post, opinions, subject, grammar or pretty much anything else in an attempt to pick an online fight. "Slamming" is making offensive, condescending or insulting comments about a user in order to pick an online fight. Flaming and Slamming messages are not welcome. Disagreements are fine. Flaming is not.
11. Treat others as you would like to be treated. There is no need or excuse for being condescending or hurtful to others.
12. You are free to communicate with the moderators but do keep the Private Messages only for topics you dont want to discuss in the forum.
13. Please do not give away your personal information which includes your phone number and address.
