These Rules Were Created So That We Can Keep Tech Nerdz A Pleasant And Helpful Place To Be. Admin/ Tech Nerdz Have The Final Say, There Is No Point Arguing About It -- You Will Only Make Things Worse For Yourself. Instead, Contact Admin/Tech Nerdz If You Feel A Mistake Was Made. An Admin/Tech Nerdz Reserves The Right To Close Or Delete Any Thread, Post, Or Signature That We Deem Unacceptable, Regardless Whether It Violates Any Of The Rules Below. Keep In Mind That We Consider This A "Family" Site, Therefore You Cannot And Should Not Post Any Vulgar, Abusive, Obscene, Slanderous, Hateful, Threatening, Sexually-Orientated Or Any Other Kind Of Dis-Respectful Comments. All Posts Should Be Suitable For A Young Viewing Audience. Furthermore, As This Is A Family Forum, Sometimes Our "Auto Censor" Will Censor Certain Words With Asterisks (*). In Some Cases, An Admin/Tech Nerdz May Edit Your Post And Censor Any Word They Deem Unacceptable For A Family Site. If This Is The Case, You Will See A "Last Edited By Username" Message At The Bottom Of Your Post, With A Reason As To Why Your Post Was Edited. With That Said, Please Keep All Posts Clean, And Appropriate For A Young Viewing Audience.

Community Guidelines
Please abide by the below rules. Purposely doing the opposite will result in ban.
NOTE: For you to use our site, you agree to adhere to our Rules !
• Respect the privacy of others. Do not share information about a user without their expressed permission.
• Each member is entitled to have one and ONLY one account with us. You will need to provide a functional email address, which is not made public unless you allow it too be.
• Make sensible posts. Please do NOT post if you do not have a solution to an answer. We are a tech support site for helping users, not breaking users computers. Also, please keep your posts lower case. It is known as 'shouting', and is very rude and provocative. You can of course post certain words in caps, or bold, but only to emphasis the word.
• Stay on topic. Wherever possible, members are encouraged to keep threads on topic. If a thread goes off topic, then it may be moderated or even closed.
• Use the appropriate forum. Take time in choosing the best forum for your question. We can easily move it if you choose the wrong one, but it would help if you would at least try to pick the best forum.
• Make good use of the "Edit" function. Do not 'reply to yourself' in a thread unless it's completely necessary. Also, please don't use the quote button unnecessarily. There's no need to quote the post above your own, unless you're only replying to a specific section, in which case you would only quote that part.
• Search for an answer. Before posting your question, spend a few minutes searching for your question, using the search function found under the 'search' drop down menu on the navbar. Chances are, your question may have already been answered, therefore you won't need to create a new thread.
• Multiple Posting. This is simply not accepted. This refers to posting your question more than once, or posting the same reply in each thread. If you feel you need your thread moved, then please use the "Report Thread" button so that it can be moved.
• Abusive Language. Do *not* post anything that is abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-orientated or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately, permanently or temporarily being banned (and your service provider being informed).
• Trolling. Users who generally cause trouble on the forums, are referred to as a Troll. This can include but not limited to, causing "Flame Wars", harassing other users, flooding the forums with a repeat reply, and generally not acting in a mature and sensible manner.
• Private Messages/Emailing. While we allow private messages, they should NOT be used to spam or send unsolicited content (That is, Advertising of third party services or websites, unless authorised by us in advance and in writing). Anyone member who comes here to spam the forums will be banned immediately. We would appreciate if our members could report anyone misusing the Private message feature, by using the report button, located in the upper top right corner of a private message and looks like this:
• Signatures. ALL members are allowed to include a small signature, which is displayed in every post you make. Signatures should be small, so they do not interfere with the thread itself. You are also allowed a link in your signature, however, the link should be appropriate for a young viewing audience. We reserve the right to delete any signature that does not comply with these rules. NOTE: New members cannot display a signature. You will need X amount of posts.
• Misuse of vB code. Please do not abuse the vB code. Doing so is only going to annoy moderators and other members, and can also be seen as an offense to a moderators discretion. This includes large, or flashing images/fonts in posts. Images may be posted as long as they are not of an explicit or offensive nature.
If You See Any Member Break Any Of These Rules, Then Please Report Admin/Tech Nerdz
