Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I noticed that someone posted spam or another inappropriate message. What should I do?
A: Use the "report" button that is in the bottom right corner of each message to report the post to site administrators.
Q: I saw that someone asked a question that has been asked over and over again and I am sick of seeing it. Should I answer with a sarcastic response?
A: No. If you want to be helpful, post a link to a previous thread or politely suggest the poster use the search system. If you don't want to be helpful, please move on to the next thread.
Q: I also saw that someone posted a really stupid question. Should I call them an idiot?
A: No. Site Administrators probably had exactly the same question at some time and will take offense at the inference that they are idiots.
Q: There is a thread that I really hate and I wish people would stop posting in it. Should I post a message saying, "Please stop posting in this thread?"
A: No, your post will simply make the thread go back to the top of the list of topics and give it additional exposure. If you don't like a thread, don't read it.
Q: Don't all users have a right to free expression and should be able to post anything they like? Isn't it censorship when a Site Administrator interferes with that right?
A: No and No. We allow great leeway in what users are allowed to say, but Site Administrators reserve the right to delete and/or modify any message at any time for any reason.
Q: There's nothing on your site that says that posts need to be constructive, non-ironic or even polite.
A: When you respond to posts, please be constructive, non-ironic, and polite. While other posters' questions and/or viewpoints may not seem relevant to you, they may still be important to the poster. Please treat them with respect and respond in a manner in which you would like people to respond to you. Posts that appear to be aimed at "trolling" the forum rather than engaging in constructive discussion may be deleted.
