Welcome to Ethiopian Reporter forum. In order to make your stay as pleasant and constructive as possible please take your time to read through this post, it will help you navigate the pits and traps this community has created for new members These rules can be changed without notice though normally we announce changes via announcement in all the forums.

1) You can say whatever you want in a relevant section of the board as long as you don't use sexually oriented, abusive or offending languages to members of the board(forum).

2) Respect the netiquette: Lurk and get to know the forum before you post.

3) Keep the focus: Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved, locked or simply be deleted.

4) Be nice to each other and respect the moderator. Profanity and insults will not be tolerated. If you have a problem with another member turn to the respective moderator and if the moderator can't help you send a private message to tsoft.

5) Do not spam. No blatant advertising.

6) No warez, cracks, serials or illegally obtained copyrighted content! _link_s to content of a questionable nature, asking for, offering, or asking for help/helping to process such content in any way or form is not tolerated.

7) Keep the size of personal images down.

No cross posting. Post your message once, to the appropriate forum and nowhere else or it will be locked or deleted without warning.

9) Use a _title_ that describes the content of your post. Don't use all caps or special characters to draw attention.

10) Do not send questions pertaining to topics of discussion on this board via personal messages or email to Moderators or Admins, they will be ignored.

11) Don't post just to increase your number of posts. If you have nothing to say on a certain matter then don't post. The number of posts on this board has no direct relation to the experience of a member.


12) 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? I'm sure you know the answer". Once somebody replies to your thread but doesn't give you exactly the answer you've been expecting you insult them.

Do not ask "what's best" because this question cannot be answered _object_ively. Each and everyone has their own view about what's best in a certain area. The best is what works best for you!

13) The official language is English. Outside the translator forum English is the only allowed language. This is because the system can't display your Amharic fonts properly unless we use a special technology to support all of your amharic fonts. But don't worry, it's on our to do list in the future. However, you can use Amharic language using english alphabets.

14) Multiple registrations are prohibited and are grounds for immediate account deletion.

15) Instructions by the moderator team are to be followed.

If you don't comply with these rules you'll have to face a set of sanctions.

Remember this site uses state of the art technology for security and user moderation. Your IP (Unique number which identifies your computer when you are on the Internet) is logged (recorded), that means if you are not willing to comply with the rules you will be completely locked out from using the forum, or from even opening the site. Now, we don't want that to happen, Do we ? Just stick to the Rules!!!

Thank You.

The Admin.
