ii.Forum Rules

General Board Rules:

Lowyat.NET Forum welcomes all. The objective of Lowyat.NET Forum is to provide a place to gather, discuss and share. Few things will get your posts deleted or get yourself banned so please read and familiarise yourself with the rules below and other specific sub-forum rules:

Do not engage in activities prohibited by Malaysian law.

Do not troll or flame. Do not intentionally post inflammatory message.

Do not discuss, distribute, or link to pirated software, pornography or any other material which is prohibited by any Malaysian law.

Do not post political or religious topics anywhere in the forums, except in

Real World Issues forum. Do not spread political propaganda, racial vilification or religious hatred or contempt anywhere in the forums.

Do not spam, post unconstructively or open multiple threads with similar messages.

Do not abuse the PM system. Do not send unsolicited messages, however well intentioned. A single PM is sufficient to constitute spam.

Do not advertise any company, website, product or services except within the Trade Zone and the Classifieds sections. Do not make any commercially orientated posts or posts for personal financial gain without prior permission from an administrator. Do not post any referral links or codes, either on the boards or in your signature.

Do not engage in activities prohibited by Malaysian law.

Do not post your homework questions here. Do them yourself.

Do not use profanities or vulgarities, sexual innuendos, sexist or discriminating comments of any nature.

Do not post personal or private information of another person. This includes the real name, a photograph, phone number, address, employment history whether or not that information is publicly available. Do respect the privacy of others.

Do not post unless you have something to contribute.

Do obey the directions of a moderator or trade enforcer at all times. This includes not reopening a thread closed by a moderator.

Above all, do be polite and courteous to all.

The above rules are non-exhaustive. Breach of any rules will result in a temporary suspension of your account which includes all posting privileges and PM access. Multiple breaches may result in permanent suspension of your account.
When suspended, you may appeal to helpdesk@lowyat.net with valid grounds. Such grounds may include misconstrued intentions, a clean history and previous constructive posts. However, an ongoing trade is not a valid appeal ground and will not be taken into consideration.
