Pinoy Tambayan Announcement

Thanks for taking time to read the Board Rules. :)

POSTING MESSAGES:

1. Stay on topic

Your comments, questions, reply to a particular thread should be RELEVANT to what the thread is all about. If you find an off topic post, don’t reply or comment on it so as not to start an off-topic discussion. Just ignore off-topic post, or report to moderators online.

2. Post Legibly

A. Stop using undecipherable ‘SMS’ type messages. Don’t worry about message space or length, this board is FREE, you can express yourself perpetually as long as you follow board rules.

B. Stop using ALL CAPS post. Use capital letters as necessary. Avoid posting DiStOrTeD mEsSagEs and use only the bold and italics to emphasize something, not on your entire message.

3. Observe Conciseness

Refrain from posting loong copy-pasted article.. If you are to post a long one, don’t post it fully, as to manner that will consume a whole page. Just post only the necessary OR create a synopsis of the article and put a link to the source of the article. If it’s not yours, don’t forget to cite the source, so we can get away with copyright laws.

4. No Insulting/Offensive Language.

While it is not certainly required to agree with everyone, you must limit your criticisms to what topics discussed. No personal attacks. We all know what offensive language is, Avoid using it. Use your PM button instead.

Offensive/Insulting messages will be deleted without warning!

5. No posting of personal numbers, real full names, and home adresses. Use the private message (PM) to give personal details.

6. Replying a Post:

When replying a post, refrain from quoting the entire message esp. if it’s a long one. Edit out the unnecessary text, quote only the message applicable to your reply. Don’t quote an entire post with the unnecessary “nice FR” or “OK” reply. Use the PRIVATE MESSAGE button if you are to add a personal comment.
