Forum Rules
General Rules:
• While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters.
• Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts, intentionally cryptic replies, or other such wastes of forum resources.
• Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
• Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum email and Private message system to spam other members.
• Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.
• While we are quite happy to have constructive comparative conversations about competitor's products, we will not tolerate blatant adverts.
• If you are going to post non-English on these forums, please also post an English Translation of your post.
• Animated avatars are not allowed. Sorry.
Advertising and Solicitation:
• We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails to users here that advertise or solicit any products, services, funds or donations. Explicit advertising and solicitating in signatures is also prohibited.
• Promotional text for a commercial product or service in signitures is ok, provided there are no price(s) of product(s) or service(s) listed.
• A link and promotional text for a site that is not commercial and does not contain product(s) and/or service(s) is allowed, provided the site does not violate MapServing community standards. The MapServing team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.
Overall:
• We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
• We also reserve the right to ban anyone who wilfully violates the forum rules, as access to our support forums are a privilege and not a right. A banned customer is still entitled to support from the support system.
• While these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
