  • Bump threads

  • Post links to phishing sites.

  • Offering any of the above services
  • Linking to any hard drive sellers websites, Ebay listings or YouTube Channels

 

IV. No Backseat Moderating:

Let the Forum Moderators do the moderating. Backseat Moderating is when people who are not Moderators try to enforce the forum rules. Whenever you see a person breaking the rules, take advantage of the "Report this post" link. Or simply IGNORE the offensive post(s) or thread. The most common backseat reply is the "+1 in before lock" phrase. Backseat moderating is annoying, and pointless.

 

V. Report Post to the Moderators:

Should you observe a fellow forum member breaking these rules please report the post by clicking the "Report Post button" located to the bottom right of every post, or feel free to contact any of the Forum Staff.
