Blackdressed Forum Rules

General Forum Rules for all users:

* All posts should be written IN ENGLISH only. All other posts may and will be deleted with no further notice!

* We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.

* Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.

* 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 and Private message system to spam other members.

* We also do not allow posts that are sexual in nature or violate our community standards. Our Moderators team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.

* 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.

* 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.

* We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules, as access to our support forums are a privledge and not a right. A banned user is still entitled to support from the Moderators Team.

* We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products or services. Explicit advertising and solicitating in sigs is also prohibited.

* Links in signatures must follow these guidelines:
- 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 international merchandise legislation. Our Moderators Team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate these terms. (Examples include sites about drugs and/or sex.)
- Duplicate links to the same URL in a sig are not allowed.

* We reserve the right to change the Forum Rules without notice at any time appropriate. ALL users have to comply to new Forum Rules, whenever they are posted. Please check the Forum Rules every now and then, to see if they have changed.
