Post in the right Forum. Choose a Forum which best suits the topic of your question. For example, questions about the stations, site, players, or requests would go in the How To/FAQs Forum.

Don't cross-post. Cross-posting (asking the same question in more than one Forum) is pretty annoying, so people often ignore cross-posts. Even worse, your question may be deleted by a moderator (mod) or adminstator (admin). Don't worry, most users check most, if not all of the Forums, so your question will be answered.
The reason for this policy is that cross-posts put irrelevant information which takes time to comb through. By avoiding redundant posts, the Forums are kept 'cleaner', thus, it makes it easier to find, and answer questions.

DON'T WRITE ALL IN CAPS. IT CAN BECOME VERY ANNOYING. CAPS ARE GENERALLY REGARDED AS YELLING, SO IF YOU WRITE ALL IN CAPS, FOLKS WILL THINK YOU ARE YELLING AT THEM, SO THEY WILL AVOID YOU. ALSO, CAPS LOOK ugly, so avoid writing all in caps.

Edit previous posts. It is often better to edit than make a new post. Use your better judgement. At the bottom of each of your posts, you will find several icons. Click on the one that says 'Edit/Delete', and has a picture of an open book in order to edit a post. You may only edit a post you have written, and there is a 15 minute time limit on editions. Here are some general guidelines to follow when editing posts:

-Don't take out anything that may be required to understand the context of later posts
-Edit a previous post rather than make a new one. Use your judgement; sometimes it's necessary to make a new post.
-It's polite to sometimes list what was edited at the bottom of the post. If this ends up being longer than 2 lines, don't bother.

No ads. This is pretty self-explanatory. The Forums are not a place to advertise your products, so any post that is deemed to be an ad will be deleted, or edited to remove the advertisement. Ads are not allowed anywhere in the forums.

No flame wars. People obviously don't like to be insulted, so they will avoid flame wars. Flamers get a bad reputation, so their questions are more likely to be ignored.

If you are banned, via the IP address system, you may not visit the forum again using a Proxy server. If you continually try to evade an IP address ban, we will contact your ISP.

The regulars would really appreciate it if you would acknowledge the helpfulness of their aid. Not only does praise make them love you, it helps them to understand if their help really was helpful. This way, they will know how to respond if they get a similar question again. This way, they can tailor their responses to better suit your needs.


If you have a specific concern about etiquette, feel free to post a thread, or contact the moderators.

Thanks for the clarification of the rules, Admin. Perhaps this should be stickied here, and maybe in the Announcements forum?
