Welcome to the SEMIA forum rules/guidelines (borrowed from MIA). This is a reminder of the guidelines we have established for this forum, in order to keep it running smoothly. If you have a problem with any of these guidelines, then we must quite simply request you post elsewhere. Thanks.
1 - Please use specific thread topics. The topic of your thread should let the reader know what the thread is about. Mods have full authority to re-title threads, but we would rather you took care of this yourself.
2 - If you want to tell someone to do a search, you must also provide an answer to their question. If you cannot, then do not post on the topic. Brief responses only saying to do a search will be deleted on sight.
3 - Any racist/sexist/abusive language will be deleted by mods or cleverly edited to make you seem silly. So please avoid it. This will reesult in an immediate 7 day ban.
4 - Please use the 'Modify' button to edit your posts instead of creating a new post directly after the old one. Any attepmts to raise postcount by consecutive multiposts will result in a banning.
5 - The mods have the ability to either delete a post or thread immediately, or lock it and give 12 hour notice prior to deletion. It is up to the mod how they want to handle this.
6 - Please use proper grammar and punctuation. Not only will you get your message across much clearer, but other forum members might actually be able to reply to your post instead of trying to decipher your enigmatic nonsense. No text speak or chat speak is allowed.
7 - Please do not post on "dead" threads unless you have something genuinely new, constructive, and useful to add. This applies to any threads that have been left dormant for two weeks or longer. Exceptions include Commerce threads that have not been declared as inactive, Retailer Reviews threads, and Buyer/Seller Ratings threads.
8 - If you're unhappy about forum moderation, PM an admin and state your case. Public complaining about moderation will be dealt with at the moderators' discretion, which includes summary bans. Our usual warning system doesn't mean everyone gets three free chances to tee off on their least favorite moderator.
Any complaints about any mods or anything else should be filed with Knief, in private, not in the forums.
