Forum rules and guidelines

[Spogg]

Hi all

These rules and guidelines for the forum were agreed upon at the beginning of January 2018.
Being just a moderator, I am unable to pin posts so I aim to bump these from time to time.

Cheers

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Please be polite and respectful at all times. Treat others like you would want to be treated yourself.

2) Any comment which is, or appears to be, a personal attack will be deleted by a moderator.

3) Where there is a technical disagreement please supply reference to external links to support your statements, rather than simply claim authority.

4) Where a topic for discussion is opinion-based, rather than verifiable, it is better to agree to disagree than start a flame war.

5) Any examples posted here will be considered to be shared for others to make use of, unless otherwise explicitly stated. You must respect any copyright or licensing restrictions imposed by the author.

6) Never remove any original author identification from any schematic or module posted here.

7) Many schematics and modules have no author identification. It is not acceptable to alter them in any way to make it appear your own work.

8) The sub-forum User Examples is for schematics and modules, rather than exported plugins and executables which nobody can analyse and learn from. If you wish to share such items, providing they are relevant to Flowstone, you should use the General sub-forum.

9) New technical questions should also be asked in the General forum, unless the question relates to a schematic already posted in User Examples. The exception is technical questions relating to DSP, in which case please post in the DSP sub-forum.

10) Links provided for websites, products and services will only be accepted if the target relates to Flowstone in some way, otherwise it will be judged to be spam and deleted. Please post your appropriate links in the General sub-forum.

11) The Off Topic sub-forum is always heavily spammed and so will be emptied on a regular basis without reference to the contents of any post. It’s fine to post off-topic stuff in General with a note in the subject that it’s off-topic.

12) Any member may contribute to any topic. Contributions should be made with the intention of helping and should be viewed as such.

I totally forgot to bump this from time to time.

Me doing it now is not in response to any recent posts.

I changed number 11 to refer to an agreement we had about the Off Topic sub-forum.

Cheers!

Are you sure it's got nothing to do with the fact that you are rapidly approaching a milestone 3,000 posts?

I recently hit the 1000 mark....still waiting for a free Flowpaw..
