2) No offensive language or user names (phonetic spellings included) . I don't need to spell this out, just use common sense -- this isn't an adult-only forum .

3) Off Topic Discussions: PressF1 is designed as a tech help forum . But it is also a community board . Off topic discussions are allowed but please head the thread with "Off Topic" (not OT) so other users know what to expect .

4) Subject Matter: Please refrain from or asking for, or giving advice on how to pirate software . This includes posting links to sites where Warez, no CD hacks, keygens etc etc can be found . And yes, this also covers advice on how to illegally gain access to a commercial service, such as Sky TV .

5) Malicious Links: Do not post links to offensive imagery, or malicious code, or sites that contain either of these things . Do not create a link that pupports to link to something helpful, when it does not . Attempting to fool other users into clicking on a link they will likely find offensive - such as a link that will log them out of PressF1 - is considered most unfriendly and may cause me to react in a most unfriendly way .

6) Keep it friendly: Yes, it gets double billing . It isn't that hard .

7) Put an active email address in your user profile: PressF1 user profiles are used for NO other function than managing PressF1 . By putting a correct email address in your profile you can be contacted privately by myself or another mod . It is also necessary if you want thread alerts to work .

8) No commercial posting, spamming, or otherwise using the forum to promote products and services purely for your own gain . This doesn't stop you recommending products and services to other users, nor does it stop a vendor discussing their products in relation to a post . But users who post purely to promote their business/website may find their threads deleted along with their user ID .

The guy who posted from India promoting his wrought iron railing business - yeah, this means you .
