- How NOT to post on this forum: 5 minutes after your initial post you reply to your own post writing something like "Why is nobody helping me?" or "I'm sure you know the answer." Once somebody replies to your thread which doesn't fully answer what you've been expecting, please don't insult them.
- Do not ask "what's best" because someone cannot answer this objectively. Each and everyone has their own view about what's best in a certain area. The best is what works best for you!

It does not matter what title or role you hold in these forums, you are expected to obey this rule. Doing otherwise will get your account banned temporarily, or permanently if the situation becomes severe enough (this will be left to the discretion of the moderation team). For example, phrases such as "shut up, idiot," are indicative of problematic posts and should be reported. Suggested alternatives include "I disagree with what you said for the following reasons..." Please remember to stay mature and thoughtful at all times.
