Note : There may be modifications anytime, so we invite you to re-read it regularly.
- Messages posted on the board
- Before you post : A

posted. You have a FAQ section where you can find answers for general
questions about board management
Arrow Frequently Asked Questions
- Topic titles : When
you post your question or your problem, you must use a title related to
your problem/question. Words such as "Urgent", "SOS", "Question",
"Problem", "Hurry" are not tolerated. Capitals should also be avoided.
-
Description of you problem/question : When you ask a question, try to
be clear and accurate about what you want to say. Don't hesitate to
describe your problem. The more info you give, the better we can answer
you.
- Language on this forum :
When you write in English, SMS (cell phone) style message, L3375P34K
(leetspeak) and deliberate mistakes must be avoided. Non-English
people, as well as English people, must be able to understand what you
write, so put a minimum of care in your English, even if your English
is not very good (eh, Godfather...lol? Wink )
- Colors and capitals : When you write your message, please don't abuse capitals (it means that you shout) or colors.
Some colors are reserved for moderation and light colors are hard to read for visually impaired people.
- Flood and off-topic : Flood must be avoided. One-word posts such like "lol", "rofl" or a single smiley must be avoided.
You must also avoid to post the same topic twice, it will not be faster for you to get a response.
As
long as you topic is not in the second page of the support section, it
is useless to up it. The minimun delay between two Ups is 24 hours,
according to this board's default timezone (GMT - 5).
If you make a mistake, please use the button at the top-right of your post, to avoid double-posting
- Advertising for your forum :
Spamming for your board is not tolerated, even by PM. If you post about
a problem, give the address of your forum ONLY if we ask you OR if it's
really necessary to understand a problem. Better : Put your forum
address in your profile, so we will just have to click on the "Forum"
button to examine your board.
- Other advertising : It is also forbidden to post advertising for money-related stuff, many of our members are under 18.
Behavior on the forum
- Defamatory,
racist, hateful, pornographic, illegal or insulting content must be
avoided on this forum. You must respect the fact that people may have a
different opinion than you. If you are in conflict with another member,
please use PMs for that, this board is not an arena!
- Please,
be patient. It's useless to up your topic every 2 minutes (see the
point "Flood and Off-topic"). Every member of this forum has a private
life besides hakforums, so they can't always respond immediately.
- You must respect the moderators and administrators. They all work volontarily on this forum and they are human, not machines!
-
If you received advertising, pornographic content or insults by PM, you
must send the whole copy (including the headers) to a moderator by PM.
Posting it in a topic is useless and will only cause conflicts between
you and the one who sent you the PM.
- If you found an hakforums
that doesn't respect the charter (can be seen when you create a board),
PM a moderator instead of creating a topic. That will avoid
undeliberate advertising.
- If you don't find your topic, it may have been moved to a more appropriate place Arrow How to find your own messages
If you have a question, PM a moderator for that!
Avatar and Profile
-Member Name : Your name cannot be Admin, administrator, Modder, Moderator, or any of that of the forums ranks. You will be able to request a name change, if you didnt read the rules before making the profile, but name changing after that will not be possible.
- Avatar dimensions :
Your avatar's width must not exceed 150 pixels and its height must not
exceed 200 pîxels. These limits are here to avoid scrolling for people
who have a low screen resolution. You must also respect the limit of
weight which is fixed to 300 KB. There are still people who have a
low-speed connection, and heavy pictures take time to load for them.
- Your avatar is not an advertising banner, so avatars with your forum URL must be avoided.
- Sexually oriented and gore avatars must be avoided
- Your "Age/S" field is not an advertising space, so forum URL must be avoided
Possible sanctions
- If you made advertising by PM, you may see your PM mailbox disabled for a determined period
-
If your avatar doesn't respect the rules and you ignore the moderator's
request to have it changed, the Administrator may forbid you from
displaying an Avatar.
- Advertising for money-related stuff = Immediate ban
-
Ignoring the moderators' warnings and continuing to not respect the
rules, insulting people and trolling may result to a simple ban from
this forum, an Forumotion-wide ban or a ban forum deleted, according to
the gravity of the member's fault.
If you have any question about one of the forum rules, please PM a moderator to ask your question.
Thanks for your comprehension.
