Registration Agreement (aka Forum Rules)

Post by slennox »

This is a sticky version of the current registration agreement, for people who ignore the one displayed during registration or forget what it says :roll:
General netiquette and common sense apply in the egghelp.org user forum. The following rules in particular are stressed:
  • No requesting help on anything involving "piracy" (of software, movies, or otherwise), because it's illegal in most places.
  • Have realistic expectations of any help you may receive, because those who provide support on the forum are volunteers.
  • If you have a problem that needs fixing, use the forum's search function first to see if the topic has already been discussed, so that volunteers don't have to waste their own time repeating the solution or doing the search for you.
  • No vulgar, sexually explicit, or otherwise inappropriate language, because children may visit this forum. This includes "obscured" profanity (e.g. using alternate spellings or asterisks to partially conceal a swear word).
  • No commercial posting, such as advertising or "advertorials" for shell providers.

In response to a complaint, a small modification has been made to the rules to prohibit obscured profanity, which cannot efficiently be filtered automatically. However, !@#$^& is acceptable, and you can probably get away with f***.
