2 ) Please select
meaningful titles for your Postings. Under titles as “hello” or “help ”, nobody can imagine what you mean.
3 ) Particularly with new films it’s desirable to look into the database or to use the
search function, so that no unnecessary double-postings develop.
4 ) Please avoid
unnecessary and/or excessive quotes, they make the Topics blurred and boring! If there are no further Postings between, normally a @Nickname is sufficient… Also it is possible to shorten quotes to the substantial words.
5 ) Please do not use extra large avatars and signatures (avatar max. size 140*140; signature max. 800*130 pixels)
5.1 ) Please do not use animated avatars or signatures. Large animations can be very annoying.
6 ) Political or religious statements are prohibited.
6.1 ) Pictures showing political or religious symbols are banned.
7 ) Discriminatory statements are prohibited.
8 ) If you post links to pictures use the suitable
Main Category (e.g. a Picture with fixed braces belongs to Category fixed braces.) Alternatively everyone could open an own Topic, however this should also be the maintained topic for upcoming posts
9 ) If you plan to post many links at a time, please make
one big Posting with all links in it and not many small posts with only a fews links.
10) In the forum “orthodontic treatment” only postings,
which have really something to do with an orthodontic treatment are permitted. E.G. the topic “I like to wear braces” belongs into the Section “general”.
11) Please don’t copy texts or stories from other forums or websites without the permission of the owner/author!12) If a posting appears offensive to you and you would prefer this post to be deleted don’t write this in the forum, but
write the administrators a private Message. This procedure saves much work for us!
13) The offcial forum languages are English and German. The use of other languages is discouraged, in order to make the contents available to all members and to avoid private conversations. The moderators reserve the right to delete any contributions not written in English or German.
