Site-Reference Forums Rules and Code of Conduct

The Forums are intended to be a fun and friendly place where we can all learn, discuss and share ideas. To keep it so we ask that you comply with the following rules. Any violation of these will results in immediate banning:

Personal Conduct

• Absolutely no flaming. Flaming is any attack on another member, whether you think it is deserved or not. Those who flame other members will be given one warning before they are banned.
• Criticisms. Your opinion is your opinion and we respect that. However please remember we want to help each other so please try to be constructive at all times.
• No Plagiarism. If you feel the need to use text from another source in a post, you MUST quote the source, and where appropriate link to it. Anything that is not in your own words or used without the original author’s permission will result in an immediate banning.
• No Duplicate Postings. If you are active in other forums, please do not post duplicate questions throughout several. If you have posted your question in another forum we will assume you do not need our help and will remove your post. Repeat offenders will be banned.
• No Split Egos. Each person only needs 1 account. Please do not register multiple accounts or they will all be banned.
• No Policing. Members should not enforce the rules on their own. If you see a violation of the rules, use the 'report' link which can be found at the bottom of every post.
