•   The Forum, its administrators and moderators or Build India Movement are not responsible for your words, however you are! Do not post any racial, discriminatory, deconstructive, anti-religion, anti-person comments. Such comments will be removed and the poster warned or banned at the sole discretions of the moderator/administrator. If you as a user come across any such posts, please do report to a moderator immediately, please do not respond to any posts as it may lead to flame wars which are to be avoided at any and all costs.
•   Only one account per person is permitted.
•   When registering, a valid email address has to be used. Disposable email addresses are not permitted. If found, we will remove the account/ban the user in question.
•   Domain names in forum/login names are not allowed.
•   All posts must be in English, as this forum does not support typing or displaying text in other languages. Ideally this means using proper English, with appropriate punctuation and capitalization, at all times. Excessive abbreviations and "l33t speak" are particularly unwelcome. We appreciate that English is not the first language of many of our members but ask that they try their best never-the-less; though in fairness, it is the native English speakers who abuse these guidelines most often.
•   Do not pretend to be/represent somebody else. Your account will be deleted if found to be in breach of this rule.
•   Do not discuss illegal activities. We are Indian, this is an Indian forum and we abide by the Indian law. Please do not expose us to any unnecessary legal liability. Additionally our server is hosted in the USA(to be cost effective) and so also is subject to US law (however, this may change as and when we are able to raise funds to move to an Indian server.)
•   Check that your question has not been answered anywhere else on the site. Use the search feature.
•   Post your comment/question to the most appropriate place. Any posts deemed to be in the wrong forum will be moved. Do not cross-post the same question to multiple places.
•   Make sure you have read the parent article/post completely before posting a reply
•   Use your own words. If you wish to use the words of somebody else, quote them, citing the source. Do not post copyrighted material without taking the permission of the copyright owner. Plagiarism is unethical and is illegal in many countries and especially on this forum; such posts will be promptly removed.
•   Choose an appropriate subject line. Try to summarize the topic briefly in the subject, and elaborate in the message itself. Repeat the subject in the body if it will make things clearer. Do not use all caps and do not add false information just to get attention (e.g. ;read this or you will be arrested;). An example of a bad subject would be "HELP ME". Do not use a URL as a thread title.
•   No useless posts. This includes: useless one liners, Flamewars, Trolling and Spamming. What is spamming? Read this.
•   Thank those who help you. Acknowledgement of a helpful suggestion not only placates those who helped you, it may also help others with a similar problem.
