Forum Guidelines

The RLS Forum is a fun place but in order to keep it fun we must all follow a few simple rules.

Forum Guidelines (Edited form the ones on the Sporum)

Our goal is to maintain a friendly forum environment and we’ve organized some guidelines to keep in mind when posting.

Here’s a quick rundown on what to do and what to avoid in order to help us keep the forums running smoothly.

Guidelines - Posting etiquette
• Keep subject titles direct, descriptive and accurate
• Use caps and repeated punctuation judiciously
• Do not create multiple threads for one topic or post your thread in every category
• Do not post blank messages
• Use bbcode to clean up extremely long signature links by displaying link text rather than URLs.
• Bump threads judiciously. If a thread has no new posts since the last bump, please don't bump it again.
• Do not make posts requesting the locking of another user's thread within a thread. Please use the alert button or PM system to contact a moderator if you believe a thread is in violation of the forum rules. Note that you may receive an error after pressing alert, however the CS team will successfully be notified.
• Use search! Avoid posting duplicate threads about questions that have already been answered.
