Official Rules

General Rules

• While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate
  rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory
  posts. Our decision is final in these matters.
  
• Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or
  short) non-sense posts, or the such.
  
• Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count
  is not allowed.
  
• Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes
  using the forum, email, visitor messages, blog comments, picture
  comments and private message systems to spam other members.
  
• Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts. For
  style changes and general 'how-to' questions this should be 24 hours.
  For specific troubleshooting issues, use 12 hours as a guideline.
  
• We also do not allow posts or links to sites that are sexual in
  nature or violate Tim&Val community standards. The Admin team
  shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate
  community standards.
  
• Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy
  and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.
  
• Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with
  multiple accounts is not allowed.
  
• While we are quite happy to have constructive comparative
  conversations about competitor's products, we will not tolerate blatant
  adverts or the sort of 'ooh look, yet another bulletin board' threads.
  Also, we would appreciate it if you refrain from blatant bashing of
  other boards.
  
• We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
  
• If you are going to post non-English on these forums, please also
  post an English Translation of your post.
  
• Posts arguing about company policies are not allowed. You can fill
  out a support ticket if you have issue with company policies.
  
• Posts discussing moderator actions are also not allowed.
  
• Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot
  anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any
  actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or
  abused in any way.
  
• You cannot post any affiliate or referral links, or post anything
  asking for a referral. Such posts will be subject to removal.
  
• You cannot post advertisements or notices for contests.
  
• All post must be made in English
  
• Support tickets should be considered to be confidential
  information. Support tickets posted in the forums will be deleted.
  
• We also reserve the right to ban anyone who wilfully violates the
  forum rules, as access to our support forums are a privilege and not a
  right. A banned customer is still entitled to support from the support
  system.
  

Links in signatures must follow these guidelines program link for or any
other affiliate program.

• Promotional text for a commercial product or service is ok,
  provided there are no price(s) of product(s) or service(s) listed.
  
• A link and promotional text for a site that is not commercial and
  does not contain product(s) and/or service(s) is allowed, provided the
  site is not sexual or does not violate Tim & Val community standards.
  The Tim & Val team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what
  does not violate community standards. (Examples include sites about
  drugs and/or sex.)
  
• Duplicate links to the same URL in a signature are not allowed.
  
• All signatures must be made in English

i agree with over 75% of these stadtement Admin.. althout i feel some are too strict.. if someone were to post a link to an adult site etc. they must say its mature,Porn etc.. at least give a short discreption of teh link .. if its a porn link just say it lol.. dont need some kids clicking on thinking its somthing else..
and i like to fuck around and cuss ALOT in arguments..whether serious or just fucking around.. and 99.9% of the time im just fucking around... its the internet bro we cant stop the anonymous slander.. so long as its not at a CONSTANT level from a user i see it as no issue.. just an opinion.
