Rules! rules are rules..dont dare to break them!

Warning. Your postings on this public forum will become public. Your text will be available to anyone with an internet connection.
General Forum Rules:
These rules apply to all Forum categories.

* We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously! We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.

* If you SPAM our members in any manner, your account will be disabled. Do not contact anyone to suggest your product or service who is not explicitly expecting you to contact them from an advertising forum post. If you glean information from anywhere other than the advertising forums and use that information to contact someone and present an offer, it's SPAM and it will affect your WHT account standing.

* Your account is yours alone. You are responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important restriction your account, and any accounts associated with it, will be disabled.

* All publicly displayed messages are limited to the English/Dhivehi language. This includes posts, titles, signatures, and any attachments or other forms of public display.

*Signature Spam (a post that was made in hopes of showing a signature, as determined by moderators) is forbidden in all forum categories.

*You may not post commission, referral or affiliate links anywhere on the forum. You may not link to sites whose main income is derived from affiliate or referral links.

* Cross-Posting is not allowed here. Cross-posting refers to posting new duplicate threads or posts, or the linking to threads or posts already started by the member with the intention of gaining exposure.


* You may not post on behalf of any banned member in any public manner. This includes all forums, private messages, signatures, and e-mail features.


* You may not post words or URLs that are censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting characters; or by any other means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place by WebHostingTalk. Please contact us if you feel a word or URL is unjustly censored.

* Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled.


Forum Specific Rules:

* You may not publish or discuss any information regarding your product or services, or future (possible) products or services, or any product or services you are, or have been, associated with.
