This board is here for
support and help between the users of Engineer's Allure. So, it is important to keep this board clean for everyone's
comfort and these following rules are here for this exact purpose.
Messages posted on the board
- Before you post :
Introduce yourself here! A search should be done to see if your questions have not been already
posted. You can use the search function by following this link
You have a FAQ section where you can find answers for general questions
about forum management:
 Frequently
Asked Questions
You should also take a look at our tutorial list to make sure what you
are about to ask hasn't already been covered in a tutorial:
Video Tutorials
- Topic titles :
When you post your question or your problem, you must
use a title related to your problem/question. Words such
as "Urgent", "SOS", "Question", "Problem", "Hurry" are not tolerated.
Capitals should also be avoided. Why do we ask you to use explicit
titles in your topics ?
Because the forum's search engine bases it's search results on keywords
found in topic titles
When you do a search, do you use "help", "urgent", "problem", "SOS" or
"question" as keywords to look for topics about your problem/question?
Certainly not! So this is why it is important to use titles related
to your problem/question. Doing this makes the searches
much easier for visitors who use the search engine to get an answer to
their question
- Description of you
problem/question : When you ask a question, try to be
clear and accurate about what you want to say. Don't hesitate to
describe your problem. The more info you give, the better we can answer
you. Screenshots can also help depending on the problem. If you don't
know how to take a screenshot you should read this
tutorial
- Language on this forum
: When you write in English, SMS (cell phone) style message, L3375P34K
(leetspeak) and deliberate mistakes must be avoided. Non-English
people, as well as English people, must be able to understand what you
write, so put a minimum of care in your English, even if your English
is not very good
- Colors and capitals and size
: When you write your message, please don't abuse capitals (it means
that you shout), colors and bold. Re-sizing your text is also a bad
idea. Overly large text resembles screaming. Colors and Bold text are
reserved for moderation, therefore don't use them
- Flood and off-topic
: Flood must be avoided. One-word posts such like "lol", "rofl" or a
single smiley must be avoided.
You must also avoid to post the same topic twice, it will not be faster
for you to get a response.
As long as you topic is not in the second page of the support section,
it is useless to bump it. The minimum delay between two bumps is 24
hours, according to this board's default timezone (GMT - 5).
If you make a mistake or you want to make any modifications to one of
your posts, please use the 
button at the top-right of the post, to avoid double-posting
- Advertising for your forum
: Spamming is not tolerated, even by PM. If you post about a problem,
give the address of your forum only if it's really necessary to
understand it. Or better yet : Put your forum address in your profile,
so we will just have to click on the "Forum" button to check your forum
- Copying and Stealing
: Copying and stealing other members works such as graphics (Theme,
Images) and or codes (CSS, Templates) is not allowed. If you are found
to steal or copy others work you will be given a serious warning.
- Other advertising
: It is also forbidden to post advertising for money-related stuff,
many of our members are under 18.
Behavior on the forum
- Defamatory, racist, hateful, pornographic,
illegal or insulting content must be avoided on this
forum. You must respect the fact that people may have a
different opinion than you. If you are in conflict with another member,
please use PMs for that, this forum is not an arena!
- Please, be patient.
It's useless to bumup your topic every 2 minutes (see the point "Flood
and Off-topic"). Every member of this forum has a private life besides
Forumotion, so they can't always respond immediately
- You must respect the moderators
and administrators. They all work voluntarily on this
forum and they are human, not machines!
- If you received advertising, pornographic
content or insults by PM, you must send the whole message and a
screenshot of that message to a moderator via PM. Posting it in a topic
is useless and will only cause conflicts between you and the one who
sent you the PM
- If you don't find your topic, it
may have been moved to a more appropriate place. If you
are not sure how to find it, click on your username in the "Who is
Online ?" section at the bottom of the homepage and go to the
"Statistics" tab of your profile. There you can do a quick search of
all the posts or topics you recently made.
- Do not moderate other members.
Moderating is reserved for staff members only.
Avatar and Profile
- Avatar dimensions
: Your avatar's width must not exceed 150 pixels and it's height must
not exceed 100 pixels. These limits are here to avoid scrolling for
people who have a low screen resolution. You must also respect the
limit of storage space which is set at 300 KB. There are still people
who have a low-speed connection, and big pictures take time to load for
them
- Your avatar is not an advertising
banner, so avatars with your forum URL or links to any
other sites must be avoided
- Sexually oriented, gore and any
other type avatars that are considered to be inappropriate must be
avoided
- Your "Language", "Location" and
"Hobbies" fields are not an advertising space, so links
(to your forum or other sites) must be avoided.
