Here are our 'NEW' Forum Rules copied from the other site (???)
Topics must be submitted to the relevant forums. Please read the forum descriptions before posting. If you can't find one, post in Other Mainframe topics. Do not ask your doubts as a reply to another post.
All publicly displayed messages are limited to English only. This includes posts, titles, signatures, other forms of public display.
Treat others positively and with respect. Flaming other members or other forums will lead to a warning, possibly even a ban. Be patient and help others if you can. This is an all volunteer board so if your post gets answered, please remember to thank the posters for their effort.
Do not request help via Private messages(PM) or emails. Post all your queries on forum itself. You will be banned if we receive any complaints from other members/moderators regarding this.
All links must be coded - including internal links (eg
- Code: Select all
Link placed inside here
). Do not direct link to sites other than ibm.com
Make your topic title meaningful and descriptive. Do not use words such as 'Urgent'/ 'Please'/ 'Help!' or 'Important' in your subject line. Don't use the Forum name as your topic title. In a nutshell, provide as much relevant information as possible you have. At the same time, let the post be short, to the point and not long stories ..
Excessive posting of similar messages to increase post count is not allowed.
You may not have links advertising other forums within your signature. Do not use our forums for any commercial purpose, to distribute any advertising or solicitation of funds or goods and services without the prior approval from the site admin.
Never post your Email-IDs, IRC links in the Posts or signature. Don't attach your resumes/CV. If you wish to promote your resume here, Upload it to
http://mainframeindia.com and add the topic link in your signature. Links to other Jobsites like naukri.com are not advised.
Do not use all CAPS, big text size, excessive question marks (?) or exclamation points (!) in your subject or content, the reason being is that this is considered as shouting
Make sure you have used the 'Search' facility before posting to avoid reposts and duplicates.
You should not use our forums to post/attach/link any material which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, sexually oriented, abusive, harassing or threatening, contains viruses or other contaminating or destructive features, violates the rights of others, such as Content which infringes any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret or violates any right of privacy or publicity, or otherwise violates any applicable law.. Feel free to ask the moderators before posting the downloaded materials from other sites.
No images, avatars, signatures which are under copyright should be used unless you make quite clear who the copyright belongs to and that you are allowed to use the image for social purposes.
Links to images on slow servers e.g Lycos or those prone to failure will be removed. We recommend to use imageshack.us to upload your images and screenshots.
