Our forum requires that you sign up to become a member. We do this in order to better control the content on the board.
1. Please keep the topics in the main forum areas Carlson related. There are some instances where we allow post outside topic, but if you find that your post was deleted or moved, it is because we deemed it inappropriate to the section in which you posted, or it was in violation of other rules in this section. We have set up an Off Topic section for open discussion - please post your non-Carlson related comments there.
2. Do not sign up for more than 1 user account. If you are caught using more than one account to post, one will be permanently suspended and one will be on a short-term ban.
3. All questions concerning Carlson Software Forums policies and management are addressed offline via email or telephone. Comments concerning deleted post, posting privilege suspensions, or other matters of the administrative nature will be deleted. If you have a question about policy, please email one of our moderators. Please email Support@carlsonsw.com.
4. No foul language.
5. We promote a friendly atmosphere for Carlson users to exchange ideas. Differences of opinions are welcome and are an important part of this format. We do not, however, tolerate those that try to start an argument with every post. If you are looking to agitate people, simply to get a response, or if you are a troller, this is not the place for you. Warnings are issued, and if the behavior continues, administrators will revoke posting privileges.
6. No personal attacks – if you disagree with someone, state your case intelligently and back it up with facts. We will not tolerate personal attacks. You will be warned once. If the behavior continues, you will be banned from the forum. DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE WITH EMAIL WHEN YOU HAVE A DISAGREEMENT ON THIS FORUM.
7. Do not try to solve personal problems live on the forum. Most of the members aren't interested in watching you resolve personal problems live on the Carlson Forums. If you are concerned about an interaction with someone and are interested in resolving it, send them an email (if they offer an email address in their forum profile). If you don't get a response, just let it go. They may not be interested in communicating with you.
8. Racism of any kind will not be tolerated.
9. Limit your photo size. If they make the screen scroll, they are too large. 600 pixels wide is the larget you need to go.
10. Do not copy and paste articles from other publications to this site. It is a COPYRIGHT VIOLATION to do so. If you want to reference an article on another web site, post a link.
We will be updating this section occasionally. Again, our goal is an open, clean, and friendly format, but when you have a public board rules have to be established and followed.
Please keep in mind that deleting, moving, editing or locking of your post is not intended to be an attack or insult. These actions are usually to keep the peace, keep the interaction on the board friendly or keep content in the appropriate section.
If you have any suggestion concerning our rules of conduct, please email Support@carlsonsw.com.
