You agree to the following rules, and have taken the time to read them: IVSuperstore.org Forum Rules

These forum rules were written by Brad Baker, Forum Admin for Joomla.org. They have been taken almost verbatim and modified for the purposes of IVSuperstore.org. If you would like to view the original forum rules written by Brad please click here.

General Rules

  • Only one account per person is permitted.
  • The IV Superstore is about people, domain names in forum/login names are not allowed.
  • Keep all posts on-topic.
  • All posts must be in English, unless posted in a specific international forum. If posting in a international forum, please use the language of that forum, and not English.
  • Do not astroturf or pretend to be/represent somebody else. Your account will be deleted if found to be in breach of this rule.
  • Do not discuss illegal activities. Our server is hosted in the USA and so is subject to US law. Please do not expose us to any unnecessary legal liability.
  • Check that your question has not been answered anywhere else on the site. Use the search feature.
  • Post your comment/question to the most appropriate place. Any posts deemed to be in the wrong forum will be moved. Do not cross-post the same question to multiple places.
  • Make sure you have read the parent article/post completely before posting a reply.
  • Use your own words. If you wish to use the words of somebody else, quote them, citing the source. Plagiarism is unethical and is illegal in many countries.
  • Choose an appropriate subject line. Try to summarise the problem briefly in the subject, and elaborate in the message itself. Repeat the subject in the body if it will make things clearer. Do not use all caps and do not add false information just to get attention (e.g. ;read this or you will be arrested;). An example of a bad subject would be "HELP ME". A good subject might be, "Foo crashes when I do bar". Do not use a URL as a thread title.
  • Include as much information as you can when seeking help. This may include logs and command line output. Nobody will be able to help you if you don't give sufficient detail.
  • Ask Questions The Smart Way. Read this by Eric Raymond.
  • No useless posts. This includes: Thread bumping, useless one liners, Flamewars, Trolling and Spamming. What is spamming? Read this.
  • Thank those who help you. Acknowledgement of a helpful suggestion not only placates those who helped you, it may also help others with a similar problem. All those who have been helped on this forum are invited to help other users by responding to their questions when they know the answer and /or to consider donating to the project.
  • Do not link to any site that contains adult content, sexually oriented material or might otherwise be considered offensive. Any post containing an inappropriate link will be deleted and the poster will receive a warning.
  • Do not propose/link to any site that contains warez/copyrighted software/materials that can be downloaded illegally.
