  • DRM removal
Any violation of this rule is grounds for an immediate and maybe permanent ban, because it puts our webservers, the whole project and our web-admin at risk.
Moderation:
In most cases, moderator decisions are final. If a mod tells you to do something, please do it.
Disputes with moderation need to be handled in PM, NOT on the public forums.
Posts about moderators or moderation decisions will be removed, and appropriate action taken.
No spam or advertising
This includes posting a link to a website with no qualifying text, posting the same message across multiple forums, posting solely to link to a thread in another forum, sales posts, and posting any link that rewards you for getting other users to click (affiliate links, referral games, etc).
Do not abuse the text formating controls
This includes abusing the color and size tags, spamming images/smilies, using all capitals or special characters to draw attention, and generally doing anything else that the moderators decide is too disruptive to remain on the forum.
Forum Account/User
It is not allowed to register more than one forum users. One user per individual.

We reserve the right to merge or delete multiple accounts of one individual. If you want that your accounts get merged, then please get in contact with an Administrator.
Be respectful of other users
Profanity, pornography, sexual innuendo, personal attacks, harassment, racism, slander/libel, threats, flaming, trolling and impersonating other users are all inappropriate.

It is not allowed to publically post PM's or part of private messages without asking the sender for permission first.

If you have got a problem with someone or a member is insulting you, then report the post by clicking at the "report post" button or directly get in contact with one of our Moderators/Admins.
Do not insult the person who offended you, or we will also have to take actions against you.

Be courteous & polite. Show respect to the opinions & feelings of others. Use of the forums is a privilege, not a right.
Engage your brain before your mouth. You are responsible for your own words & any harm they may cause.
Deviance from these guidelines may ultimately lead to disciplinary actions.
Forum Language
All posts must be in English, unless posted in a language specific forum. If posting in such a forum,
please use the language of that forum, and not English.
Search is your friend!
Check that your question has not been answered anywhere else on the site.
Use the search feature. Use AND, OR, NOT in your search to limit the amount of results.
Choose meaningful thread titles and post your comment/question to the most appropriate place:
Use a title that describes the content of your post. This dramatically increases the chances of getting a reply.

Any posts deemed to be in the wrong forum will be moved.
Do not cross-post the same question to multiple places as these will be deleted.
Be constructive and stay on topic:
Saying why you dislike something is fine, but be constructive about it and don’t rant or bring it up in every single thread, whether or not that thread is about your pet topic.

Always keep discussions on topic. This applies especially to official threads. If you need to make a post off-topic from the original subject of the thread, please start a new thread in the appropriate forum.
Support and Bugreport Threads:
If you want to get support or report a bug then read and follow the "HowTo" description which is present in every support and bugreport forum.
Your thread will be ignored and/or removed if you do not follow the "HowTo" and therefore will miss the required information.
Forum Signature:
You are able to create a Signature, which will be shown at the ned of your posts in the forums.
There are a few restrictions for Signatures:
  • Maximum Lines: 6
  • Maximum Images: 2
