However, before expanding the forum with additional modules we would like to have your opinion as a user of the forum! Would you use a chat if installed or not? Give us your opinion in the poll above!]]> Fri, 15 Sep 2006 13:59:54 Admin http://www.isaacademy.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1154473940/ http://www.isaacademy.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1154473940/#num1 Posting etiquette for “forum newbie’s”
Most new users fall down by not knowing the etiquette of forum posting. Get it wrong and other people may think that you are either being impolite or abusive. Here are some guidelines to help you make sure you fit right in...

These guidelines have been written to make your life easier, and to help you avoid getting flamed or moderated because you posted it the wrong way. This is nothing specific to this forum, these are the same guidelines used by most forums worldwide. However, if you are new to forums it might be wise to read this!

Search for the answer, before asking the question
There is a search feature on this forum, that will help you to find information that has already been posted up. Your question might have already been answered somewhere. If you ask a question that has already been answered several times before, expect the other forum users to get quite annoyed at your refusal to search.

Make sure that your posts are relevant
Irrelevant or pointless posts take up space and waste other peoples' time. If posts contribute nothing to the conversation or the community, they will be deleted. Give advice only if you are sure what you are talking about. Don't mislead people as at best you are risking their loss of face, and at worst, you might be risking their life. You may give clues if are uncertain, but do not speak with authority if you are really only trying to guess.

Always try to post in the right place
If you want to chat about the latest equipment releases, do it in "Equipment Discussion". If you have some fun stuff you would like to chat about with the other members, it might be best suited in the "General Chit - Chat" forum. If you want to sell something, the "Bazaar" forums are the place to announce it. Basically, have a look at all the categories and post where your submission is best suited.

Don't post duplicate threads
Multiple threads started about the same thing may be deleted, merged or moved at the moderators' discretion.

Use descriptive titles for new threads
Posting a thread with the title "Look here!", or "Please help", will not attract the attention of the users. If you use titles like "Need assistance on Scanlock 2000", or "New release from SBA", more people will view your post!

Do not post titles in ALL CAPS.
DO NOT POST IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS AS IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING AND IS ANNOYING TO READ

Use 'Smileys' effectively
'Smileys' can be used in your forum posts. If you are joking about something, use them to help indicate that your statement was made humorously. They can be used to indicate your mood and show that something was not meant to be taken seriously. If you don't use them, people will assume you are being serious. Arguments have broken out before because of a misunderstood joke.

No Arguing
Don't argue, if you feel offended by the comments of another user or believe a post is offensive, report it to the Administration and it will be dealt with. Starting a fight may result in sanctions for ALL those involved.

Be nice to other forum members
Treat others as you would expect to be treated. If you are abusive on these forums, your posts/threads will be edited or deleted, you may be given a warning, you may get your account suspended, and persistent offenders will be banned.]]> Wed, 2 Aug 2006 01:12:20 Admin http://www.isaacademy.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1154442817/ http://www.isaacademy.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1154442817/#num1
