phpBB XS Main rules:

• Please read the following rules and guidelines
  
  • By proceeding to post you agree to the phpBB XS guidelines and must obey them at all times. We have implemented the following guide for using the phpBB XS support forums. This guide is designed to strike a balance between the main goal of our forums, providing support, and keeping the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere of phpBB XS community. We require all posts to be positive, constructive, and on topic. We may delete individual posts that could ruin a good topic thread. We reserve the right to remove any topics we deem inappropriate or disruptive the phpBB XS support community. Please note that, from time to time, topics may be removed for being inappropriate even though your individual post in that topic may have been perfectly fine. Please do not feel this reflects badly on you. You may not make personal attacks on other users either in public forums or private messages. You may not use profanity. It is unprofessional and offensive and will not be tolerated. We may place word filters in place for the most vulgar terms. Circumventing those word filters will result in punitive action. Also you may not advertise or promote other companies or their programs. We reserve the right to ban any member who violates our guidelines or disrupts our community. We will be fair and provide warning in most cases. If you have an issue concerning our services, policies, or staff, please use a personal contact method such as a private message or email to a staff member. All moderators, administrators, and support staff are highlighted in the active members list. We take serious complaints to heart and will do our best to address them. Occasionally, there are people that will post inappropriate material or post something to cause a fight among the community. This will not be tolerated. Anyone doing this will be banned from the forums and their account will be terminated.
