First time posting in IT Stuff? Then read the IT Stuff Rules (1 Viewer)

[Winston]

Please Read This Before Submitting a Post

Welcome New Users and existing users,

I would like to make this brief and point out a few rules before you go posting away...

These are the following rules, which will be updated on a regular basis as people try to exploit these rules


1) This forum isn't a section for you to SPAM, any hatred and irrelevant posts seen, will be deleted immediately

2) If you are not going to be posting helpful answers, please don't post at all. Posting things like "no sorry I don't know" to a question helps no one. They will simply be deleted.

3) No posting of Links to Warez/Hacking or Cracking Sites, and from this point you cannot discuss about any Warez related topics, for example "Where do i get so and so program...". This includes other topics covering methods violating copyright.

4) Please try to stay on topic rather than going Off Topic (OT as some may say)

5) No more Intel vs AMD, or Windows vs Different Platform threads, as these threads get way out of hand, and may cause major conflicts between members. Other hate posts towards certain brands and products will also not be tolerated.

6) Do not post a new thread for each question you have, ask it all in one thread.

7) One last thing, please use the "Search" function, and search within the IT Forum section located in the drop down menu for "General Stuff", this is to prevent iterated threads from resurrecting.

8) Please have a meaningful subject for the thread you make, this will make searching more efficient.


Thank you heaps guys for co-operating


Your Mod - Winston
