We are trying to provide the highest quality community experience for all of our members and following these guidelines is the best way to maintain a quality environment for all age groups. If we find that you break any of these rules, your account may be disabled and your posting privileges removed. These rules are very basic and we hope that you read them fully. Thanks for your cooperation.

1. No Graphic Material of either a macabre or pornographic nature.
   Any posts or links to such content will not be tolerated.
   
2. No Warez (links) & Cracks.
   Help,requests or posts that discuss circumvention. This includes linking to illegally obtained software, movies & music files - posting aboutit, and suggesting obtaining it.
   
3. No Cursing or Swear words.
   We encourage you to use our Communities as a forum to debate topics, but please use proper adjectives to express yourself. We do not tolerate circumvention of our word filter or abuse upon another member.
   
4. No Racism, Threatening, Personal Attacks, No (citing) Victimization or Hateful posts / Retaliation of any kind against a user, or group of users.
   If you are a long standing member, act like one; lead by example and assist other newer users rather than attacking them. We look upon our veteran users to use this opportunity to teach the newer users the appropriate way to conduct themselves in this community.
   
5. Personal attacks such as instigating "flame bait", verbal abuse, mocking or sexist remarks of members in posts are not tolerated at Tech India. Such posts will be deleted on sight or moderated accordingly.
   As above, if you are a long standing member, act like one. Lead by example and assist other newer members rather than attacking them. Members that reply to posts simply to instigate argument will be dealt with and shown no mercy.
   
6. Posts in a particular forum need to stay on topic.
   If you want to talk about something that is drastically removed from the topic of a forum, please take it to General Forum
   Use a title that describes the content of your post. Don't use all caps or special characters to draw attention and especially don't use "leetspeak" as it is very annoying to the majority community.
   
7. Unacceptable Forum or News comments.
   While some members feel that post count is important, there are some posts that we feel do not contribute to the community in any way what-so-ever. Observe, because these are examples of unacceptable posts. If you wish to direct a fellow member to something that has already been posted, please do so in a courteous manner.
   
   • "old news" or anything similar
   • "first post" or anything similar
   • "(insert product or brand) sucks" or anything similar
   • "I posted this in BPN x days ago!!!" or anything similar
8. No Avatar & Custom Title Abuse.
   These are a luxury and abuse of them will result in them being lost and your account being restricted
   
9. Tech India is not a support forum for affiliates or related sites.
   Comparing,judging the content/value or raising the opinion of other sites,recruiting members or staff, bad mouthing (or victimizing) &negative discussion about non/affiliate site issues on our forums neither wanted nor tolerated.
   
10. No spamming, Ever!
    Spamming is characterized by the initiation of threads or posts that contribute nothing to a forum, be it off topic or on topic. Examples include:empty bodies, bodies with few words that have no relation to the current thread or discussion and those posts that state they are spam,either to annoy, advertise or increase a member's post count. Users may not use news item comments to advertise or promote another product.Resurrecting old forum posts is also not appreciated unless it serves a worthy cause to the forum. This determination is made by the forum Moderator or Administrator and is not up for discussion.
    1. Forum sigs are to be used respectfully, don't annoy our members by making your sig into your personal ad revenue opportunity. (ie: advertising and/or reference/affiliate codes in your sig is prohibited).
11. Tech India also enforces forum specific rules, the "Tech India Community Rules" apply in conjunction with any forum specific rules.
12. Tech India requires that members respect the decision of moderators.
    Threads and posts questioning the actions or decisions of forum moderators will be deleted on sight, and the appropriate action taken (up to and including forum bans) against the thread starter and/or participants.However, as a member you reserve the right to PM any moderator or administrator regarding action taken at Tech India.
    • Reporting System: Do not abuse the report system, while we appreciate members reporting bad behavior, we don't appreciate rude comments or your opinion on how 'quick' staff are at handling problems around here.
13. No alternate accounts are allowed.
    Should you be disciplined with a restriction or ban, you are not allowed to open a new account to obtain freedom to post. Restrictions and bans are given for a reason, and usurping that ability by re-registering is not tolerated. If another account is opened, that account will be banned immediately, and the original account will be further penalized. Anyone who has warnings on their account is automatically excluded from changing their user name.
14. Tech India reserves the right to change or alter these rules at any time and an Administrator's word is final.
