Rules
We thank all of you for being a part of the CPAD community. In order to keep the forums running well and to prevent problems, please follow these simple rules for the forums here. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact one of the Staff Members. 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, or such. 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, visitor messages, blog comments, picture comments and private message systems to spam other members. Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts. For style changes and general 'how-to' questions this should be 24 hours. We also do not allow posts or links to sites that are sexual in nature or violate CPAD community standards. The CPAD team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed. Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed. We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice. All posts must be in English or Chinese. Posts discussing moderator actions are also not allowed. Also 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. You cannot post advertisements or notices for contests. We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules, as access to our support forums are a privilege and not a right. Advertising Services 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 solicitation in signatures is also prohibited. Links in signatures must follow these guidelines Promotional text for a commercial product or service 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 is not sexual or does not violate CPAD community standards. The CPAD team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards. (Examples include sites about drugs and/or sex.) Duplicate links to the same URL in a signature are not allowed. All signatures must be made in English Moderation Although the administrators and moderators of CPAD Community Forum will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of CPAD Community Forum will be held responsible for the content of any message. By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
