Discussion Forum Rules

The discussion forums are a public forum, and want to be open to everybody. However, we expect everybody to keep up with the following rules.

  1. Keep to the subject Except for the "Anything Goes" forum, your message should have some relation with the subject of the forum. If you reply to a message, please do so only if you reply to the content of that message, or one of its replies.
  2. Mind your language The use of insulting, rude, or sexually explicit language is not allowed.
  3. Respect copyright You should not post messages that infringe copyright. Short excerpts from copyrighted work in the course of a discussion to show your point are fair use, but outright copying of entire stories, songs, or other peoples' messages is not allowed.
  4. Use of capital letters Do not post messages using only or mostly capital letters. Such messages are ugly, and more difficult to read. If you want to stress something, you can use the HTML <i> or <b> tags.
  5. Use of HTML tags No HTML tags will be allowed, except <i> and <b>. To start a new paragraph, just type two newlines in a row, that is, leave one blank line between the paragraphs.

We reserve the right to remove any message on the forum that does not comply with these rules, and to deny further access to the discussion board for people who abuse the forum.

Rules for Feedback

For the feedback feature on articles and facilities, the same rules apply as for the discussion forums, and in addition.
