Forum Rules

Forum Rules

These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on North Cyprus Forum.net. They have been compiled and are revised regularly by the NCF Team and should be adhered to by everyone.

1. Forum rules
   1. Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting.  Users consistently posting to the wrong forum may be given a warning (see policing below).
   2. Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.
   3. Members are asked to not act as “back seat moderators”.
   4. Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.
   5. Members are asked to respect the copyright of other users, sites, media, etc. Users linking to or asking for information on   warez, crackz, etc. or re-printing material without permission will receive a warning and their post will be removed.
   6. Members are asked only to post in English, as this is an English speaking community.
   7. Members should post in a way which is consistent with “normal writing”. That is users should not post excessive numbers of emoticons, large, small or coloured text, etc. Similarly users should not SHOUT or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts. Users consistently abusing this will be warned.
   8. Members should use an appropriate, descriptive subject when posting a new topic. Examples of bad subjects include; “Help me!”, “I’m stuck!”, “I’ve got an error!”, etc. Examples of good subjects include; “Getting a TABLE FULL error upon login”, “Cannot restore a backup”, etc.
   9. Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstances. This includes offering hosting services (charged and free), installation services, solicitation etc. Recruiting members for your own projects (moderators, designers, professional MOD work, etc.) is not permitted and is also considered spam. Users posting spam will be warned and their post removed. See specific item on spam and 3rd party linking for more information. We also have an automatic spam detection system which will remove spam.
   10. The moderating, support and other teams reserve the right to edit, remove or put on moderation queue any post at any time. Please note that currently any very first post is automatically placed in the moderation queue and will be approved/disapproved according to the present Rules. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to Team Members and not users.
