Forum Rules.

**HiTeck** · 12-05-2009, 02:38 PM

In order for everyone to enjoy Techkings.org we have a few simple rules Please everyone read the following rules and abide by them at all times to prevent problems on the forum. If you see the rules being broken do not try and do the job of the Moderators, please report the post and leave it for us to sort it out.

Thank you!

Please respect each other and don't flame new members, we all have to start somewhere and new members should be made to feel welcome here and encouraged to stick around. Do NOT predict that every member that joins is here to only download and run, we have to give each and every person here a chance to join in and get involved on our forum.
We are not here for your financial gain, you are not permitted to offer anything here without prior informing the Administrator and agreeing the rights.
No text speak please - it is really irritating! Please use English. Persistent abusers will be warned and have their account suspended (depending on the severity and persistence to ignore the rule).
Links to other sites will be looked upon as advertising and your post will be removed / edited and you maybe even banned from the forum, if you want to advertise with us use the contact us page and we will work out a fee.
Don't post live links on the forum, use the # button to wrap any links in the BBcode e.g
Code:
```
link goes here
```
Any posts that we feel will deter new members from joining in on the forum will be deleted and the poster will be reminded of the rules. Further reminders will result in a Infraction-s and continued abuse will result in a ban from the forum for a period of time that the Moderators see fit, continued abuse can and will result in a permanent ban.
You will have to post once on the forum so that you have the permission to download, please make sure the post is constructive, posts that are pointless or in the wrong sections just to gain the permission will be removed and so will your post count.
Any multiple accounts within the same household need to be verified with Admin prior to creation, our system will detect multiple accounts and if not previously approved by Admin all said accounts will be terminated.
Post your question only once! Don't cross-post your questions to multiple forums!

Infractions Rules.

Here is how infractions work from here on due to members ignoring a few rules we have, especially members posting thanks rather than using the post thanks system we have here.

It may sound harsh but look at it another way, who wants to visit a forum where every other post is thanks, cheers, nice one etc, no more post warnings will be given, infractions will be given out and your post will be deleted.

Spammed Advertisement will be given 9 Points and lasts for - Permanent
Signature Rule Violation will be given 1 Point and lasts for - 31 Days
Posting Thanks will be given 1 Point and lasts for - 31 Days
Posting Crap To Gain Post Count will be given 2 points and lasts for 31 Days

All Usergroups will be banned if they accumulate 3 Points = 7 Days ban
All Usergroups will be banned if they accumulate 6 Points = 31 days
All Usergroups will be banned if they accumulate 9 Points = Permanent

This will be done automatically, if a Moderator gives you an infraction it will be stored in our database, if you get another it will be added to your previous infraction, if you go over the threshold listed you will be banned for the said period.

If you receive an infraction think of it as a warning, it's not the end of the world but more of a reminder to stick to the forum rules, after you receive the infraction DO NOT start sending pm's (private messages) to the Moderator asking why, they only give them out if you have broken the rules.

Any abuse sent to the Moderators could lead to a temporary or permanent ban regardless of your usergroup.
