• TOU & Forum Rules

    1. Responsibilities as a Forum Member

      In order that everything at LinuxSat run smoothly, it's necessary to abide by certain conditions and regulations. Breaches of the forum rules are normally handled through warning points. Points are issued according to how serious the breach is, and they expire by themselves over time. Once a total is reached, temporary restrictions may apply — for example not being able to post, or not being able to send private messages — and accumulating enough points leads to a permanent ban. Some breaches are not handled through warning points and lead to an immediate and permanent ban, as set out below. You can read how warning points work for the full explanation.

      As a member you commit yourself not to publish any postings which break the rules, offend public morals or the established laws. It is especially prohibited:

      • to send spam over the system.
      • to use protected copyrighted content without permission. The publication of foreign content needs approval of the author first.
      • anyone found to be running a pay server / IPTV pay portal of any sort, whether it be through satellite, cable, internet or any other medium, will be permanently banned. Questions about portal names are not allowed!
      • to post a topic multiple times (prohibition of double postings). First use the search, and when there isn't a comparable topic, create a new one in the dedicated forum. Never post multiple times in different forums in order to get a faster response. Consider that user-to-user support is on a voluntary basis and is not unconditionally afforded. Allow other members and supporters enough time to think about the question and to answer sometime later. Bumping of a topic under 48 hours is not allowed!
      • to create senseless postings that nobody understands and which are counterproductive.
      • to post thank-you replies in threads. This simply litters the forum with useless posts and they will be deleted. We have a reaction button to click if you wish to thank someone for information posted.
      • to register more than one user account. Any member found to have more than one user account will have ALL of their accounts permanently banned. If you are having difficulties entering the site then please use the contact page. Don't set up another account. Failure to do this will be the responsibility of the user; there will be no pleading.
      • no directing members to PM / Conversations offering illegal services.
      • support questions through PM / Conversation to the Team. This belongs on the forum. Don't be offended if the Team don't reply.
      • to misuse the Shoutbox for support (questions and answers belong in the forum, so every member benefits from it).
      • to use resource-hungry signatures that have an influence on the forum's page speed and the loading of content. The forum isn't an advertising medium. Links to external content in the signature are therefore not allowed, except for private online presences which don't aim at sales. Signatures that break these rules will be deleted. In case of recurrence they will be disabled permanently.
