1. Please be respectful of others at all times.
2. Please also be aware that a poster's opinion differing from yours does not necessarily constitute disrespect.
3. Don't feed the troll. A troll is a poster who posts simply to be an instigator; telling a troll (s)he is being mean, annoying, overly silly or "acting like a troll" only accomplishes his or her mission, which is to be mean, annoying, silly, etc.
4. That said, don't accuse someone of being a troll. If you suspect a poster is a troll, bring it to us and we'll go from there. Not everyone who acts a bit like a troll is a troll. (Of course, in certain cases they'll be banned either way...)
5. Please avoid using netspeak. It is harder to read.
6. ALL CAPS IS SHOUTING. If you read a book, and someone is talking in all caps, it's because they're shouting; that's how we take all caps here. If you don't want to get into an argument with someone wondering why you're mad at them, don't use all caps (otherwise known as caps lock.)
7. Don't duplicate threads; for bandwith reasons, we want one thread per topic. If you're not sure whether or not your topic repeats another topic, ask us. We're gentle. But first, read through the forum before posting and use topic search.
