Forum do's & don'ts.

	General rules:
	-	The forum language is English, even between people who speak the same, non-English language. An exception goes for any existing localised forum for that language.
	-	No links or posts regarding sex & pornography, racism, violence, politics (unless aviation related) and discrimination are allowed. Of course we do have a sense of humor, but posting *offensive* stuff will get your account terminated without further ado.
	-	No advertisements or commercial posts are allowed, unless with prior consent from the PocketFMS Crew.
	-	The forum is moderated; your posts may be edited (though never so that the actual message meaning is changed), moved or deleted. This will happen at the sole discretion of the PocketFMS Foundation or its Moderator(s).
	-	If sadly it appears necessary, a misbehaving user will be denied further writing permission to the forum. This will occur at the PocketFMS Foundation's sole discretion.

 

	Your username or nickname:
	-	Your nickname must be non-offensive and unique on this forum.
	-	Don't use your email address as your forum username; this will seriously increase your chances of being spammed.
	-	Use your common sense as always on the Internet: don't just post private information, nor put it in your profile.

 

	Interacting with other forum members:
	-	DON'T SHOUT. All-caps messages are impolite.
	-	Don't flame (that's using insulting or offensive language). We're all pilots here, and we have our own ways of communicating. Flaming isn't one of them.
	-	Don't antagonize your fellow forum members, act personal yet professional.

 

	Messages to other forum users:
	-	No spamming is allowed, neither in the fora, via email, signatures, avatars or Private Messages.
	-	Private Messages can be in any language, they don't have to be in English.
	-	Don't ask questions other people have asked before you. You can see if your question has already been posted by using the forum's Search function.
	-	Before posting, please make sure you're posting to the most relevant section. The board administrators and / or moderators have the right to move your posts to where they deem it appropriate. In such a case, a shadow topic may be left at the original post location.
	-	Don't post off-topic (except in the Pilot's Lounge, that's what it's for).
	-	Don't re-activate months-old topics by adding something insignificant. A relevant question or remark is of course allowed.
	-	Kicking your post (responding to your own post in order to raise some extra attention to it) is allowed, if there's at least 72 hours between the original post and the kick.Remember, some people *do* have private lifes.

 

	Personal / Your Avatar and Sig:
	-	The forum software can work in various languages. We'll gladly add your language too, if a language pack is available.
	-	Your Avatar can be a maximum of 100 x 140 pixels, and max 7000 bytes.
	-	Your Avatar may not resemble a (Beta)Crew Avatar or rank image.
	-	Your Avatar may and can be uploaded to our server.
	-	Your Sig is preferably no longer than 5 lines.
	-	Your Sig may not contain scripts and malicious HTML which will influence the way the forum is displayed.
