General Posting Guidelines:
1.) ProBoards software related questions should only be posted on the Support Board.
2.) Staff may lock or move a thread at any time for any reason. Do not make threads about locked threads.
3.) Do not reply to obvious spam threads. In additional to unsolicited advertising, spam is considered any thread that lacks any point of discussion or is inappropriate to be discussed at ProBoards. The only action should be to report the post by using the Report Post feature.
4.) Do not post any material that may cause distress to others, this includes flashing images (triggers epilepsy), and 'screamers' (images that suddenly change to a screaming face).
5.) Do not hotlink images from another site unless permission has been granted to do so by the originating site, or you own the site. This includes images for avatars, the signature area, and posts.
6.) Do not make duplicate threads/posts of the same question or topic in the same board or on more than one board throughout the forum.
7.) Posts that discuss illegal activities, transactions, or websites will be removed.
8.) Automated account creation, participation, and content scraping is not permitted.
9.) Mini-Modding is not allowed. Do not post with the intent of pointing out or correcting another member’s actions. Instead just use the Report Post feature.
10.) You may not directly solicit funds by way of a post, nor may you post threads which require members to visit a site if it involves registration in order to vote for you, follow you, etc.
Reporting a Post:
1.) If you see a post that you believe breaks one of the rules (forum or board) or is spam, please bring it to a staff member’s attention by reporting the post.
2.) You can report a post by clicking the gear icon in the top-right corner of the post and then choosing the “Report Post” option. You must include a short, valid reason for the report even if you think it is obvious.
3.) Staff will review the report and take appropriate action if necessary.
4.) Repeated reports without proper justification or any abuse of the system may result in a warning or loss of privileges.
Advertising:
1.) Advertisements by participants are not allowed. Generally speaking, posts made specifically for the promotion of a website, product or service are considered advertising or, at least, posts made that unnecessarily send people to a website that you are in some way affiliated with. It does not matter if it is a commercial website, a personal website, a non profit website, etc. In addition, unsolicited PMs or emailing of members specifically for the purpose of advertising is not allowed.
Accounts:
1.) We ask that you only maintain ONE account on this forum. We do however realize that in the course of resolving a technical support issue it may be necessary to create an alternate account.
2.) The creation of new accounts or use of alternate accounts to troll, spam, support your own threads/posts, or circumvent a banned/disabled account will result in a ban of all accounts on this forum. Associated global and forum accounts may be subject to deletion as well.
3.) Staff reserve the right to disable or delete any secondary accounts for any reason.
Avatars:
1.) Avatar images are displayed at 150 x 150 pixels. Upload images should be sized accordingly as larger images will still be displayed as this size.
2.) Avatars should be kept under 75KB in logical size.
3.) Images used for avatars should not be hotlinked from another site unless permission has been granted to do so by the originating site, or you own the site.
4.) With consideration for those with epilepsy and visual concerns, excessively flashing images are not allowed.

2.) Do not use hotlinked images in the signature area unless permission has been granted to do so by the originating site, or you own the site.
3.) With consideration for those with epilepsy and visual concerns, excessively flashing images are not allowed.
