GENERAL
The rules are simple. Be good to each other.
This means be kind, be civil, don’t spam, don’t infringe copyrights! That’s all we ask for; if you’re unkind, behave in a way in which we all know you wouldn’t behave if you were talking to someone face to face, or if you’re a dirty, dirty spammer, or infringe any copyrights, then you face a warning or a ban.
This forum’s a great place to be because people here behave thoughtfully and kindly, and the moderators work hard to make sure it stays that way. So stay on topic and be a nice person – thank you!
