Finally the boardrules are complete. The rules can be changed at any time. In this case you´ll be informed.
We hope, that you will find yourself familiar at our board and that you will stay for a long time. We´re working hard to provide an environment, where you can express yourself free and have lots of fun. For this task we expect to follow some rules.
1.1 Racism, threats, illegal or sexist comments are not allowed and can be sanctioned with banishing should it recur. Same thing happens, if links are posted, that direct to illegal content (illegal means, that content is against european law).
1.2 Cracks, illegal download sources or programs, that counter copy protection, also are not allowed in our board. Questions (and answers) about illegal sources will be deleted. The last decision about illegal content is made by our team.
1.3 Advertising in any form (commercial or private) is only allowed in the "Werbung"-forum, which you can find in "Lifestyle". If you´re not sure, if a link or post could be interpreted as advertising, please contact us.
1.4 You are not allowed to share any personal information about AnnaSophia (e.g. address, (mobile) phone number, e-mail address, etc.) in this forum. Every message that contains any information will be deleted immediatly. Everyone needs some privacy.
2.1 When you adress other users, please be polite. Perhaps sometimes in a hot discussion it´s hard to be polite but try it. In the end your opionion will have much more weight, if it´s explained in an respectfull manner.
2.2 Insults, exzessive spamming or obscenity in all forms (posts, pictures, videos, external links) are forbidden and will be deleted by our staff. Depending how hard someone offended against our rules, a moderator will warn him by pm (personal message). In worst case if it happens again an offender can be banished from our community. If there appears a single spam post from time to time, we won't ban you for that. Nevertheless it shouldn´t happen that often - every post can be filled wisely.
- Before you open a new thread or topic, please make sure, that there is still no similar thread or topic - if you´re doubtful whether some topic already exists, use the search function. If you open a new thread, please choose meaningful titles, so other users can identify the thread content without big problems. Titles like "help" or similar without further explanation are nonsense - a short, clear description is in any case more promising.
3.1 If you´re answering to a question, please avoid too much "off-topic" - an answer should be helpful. Also posts like "i have no idea, sorry" are senseless, so please avoid it.
3.2 One word answers like "agree" or "yep" are also not much helpful. Please explain, why you are agreeing or disagreeing with an opinion or statement.
3.3 Correct spelling is not a "must be" - but a minimum is very helpful for other readers to understand your intention. So please have a final look to your text before you post it and try to correct plain spelling errors by yourself.
3.4 If you encounter violations against our rules by other users, please don´t react too much "excited". Perhaps the user is new and hasn´t read our rules yet. Inform a moderator about it and (s)he will deal with it. You can contact our staff anytime by using the pm function (a simple click on the profile of any user/staff member shows you some options) or you can use the button "report post".
3.5 Several contributions within a short time from one person to write a row (also called double posting) is not allowed. An exception is when the last post in a thread several days ago. The administrators and moderators are allowed to merge multiple posts in a one post.
4.1 You can attach grafics to your posts. Please be sure not to use grafics, that are too big for our board standards. If you want to show other users big grafics, please upload them as an attachment. Same rules happen to pictures bigger than 1 MB. There are lot´s of users all over the world who are not using broadband connections like DSL, so we would like to make our board also for lowband users usable.
4.2 "Direct" linking of pictures to other sites is forbidden. Please upload them as an attachment in your post oder use your "Givme.de".
4.3 Please do not use external image hosting, we have finally a file attachment feature here in the forum or our own image hosting givme.de . If you use an external image hosting and the images are will no longer online and available to people who find the subject anything with it.
5.1 You can automaticly attach a signature to all of your posts. Same rules as listed for grafics are counting for signatures - with some additions. Maximum width is 500px, maximum hight is 150px including all text. The overall file size has to be no more than 100 kilobyte. Text signatures are not allowed to exceed 9 lines in normal font size on a screen resolution of 1024x768.
