Ignoring this will likely get your suggestion deleted. (Santa only has time to read the one topic) </li> <li>No posting personal email addresses or contact details. We know where you live. ;) </li> <li>No warez related posts or requesting/supplying activation/registration keys for giveaways. </li> <li>If the post is about activating a giveaway - mention which program you are activating. XP or Vista? Any error messages you get. (Check "General" rule 1 Below) </li> <li>If suggesting or recommending a program - post a link to the developers/original download site. Links to general download sites or mirrors may be out of date or go down. No direct linking (to executables etc) - many sites consider "direct linking" as bandwidth theft - and users should always land on a download page so they can see what they are downloading. </li> <li>Time limited Special offers - if the expiry date/time is known - please include in the topic subject. </li> <li>Do not ask how to install/transfer/copy/backup giveaway software after the giveaway has finished. The only supported way to install giveaway software is by running the supplied setup and/or activate programs prior to the giveaway period expiring. Giveaways may be rerun periodically. If you "want it now" and like the software enough, you should show your support to the developers and purchase or register the software. </li> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill#Shills_on_the_internet">Shill posting</a> (including affiliate links, or games/promotional links where the poster benefits by points or dollars etc by getting more clicks) and spam/commercial advertising is definitely not permitted. Posts suspected or known as such will be removed or updated to reflect this fact. </li> <li>Users who post in these forums, only as an opportunity to promote their own commercial site, will probably result in all their posts being removed. If you wish to advertise, consider offering your products as a daily giveaway instead. </li> </ol> <code></code> General Forum Etiquette <ol> <li>Before Requesting help or posting - please read the program instructions or try google first (you would be surprised how many questions are answered after a 5 second visit to google.com). Also Google is helpful in finding articles to explain concepts you don't understand, or conversely leave you even more despondent and confused. </li> <li>Check if a related topic already exists and add to that - don't create another topic. Lots of little topics scroll off the front page faster and get forgotten. The big topics <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bump_(Internet)">get bumped</a> with each new (on topic) question and reply. Stick with the strength. </li> <li>When starting a topic - try to use a subject that describes the issue or question. Topics with generic titles of "Question" or "I can't Activate" are more likely to be ignored. If it relates to a program or giveaway - put the program name in the subject so "Rule 2" can apply. </li> <li>Keep posts on topic. If you want to discuss a different matter or ask an unrelated question - start a new topic. (Thread Hijackings may be deleted) </li> <li>Posting in all CAPITALS, is considered shouting and rude. Such posts will probably be deleted. </li> </ol> . . .

There is an expectation of courteous and friendly behavior and language from all users in these forums. Users of all ages, walks of life, cultural backgrounds and computing skills visit and contribute in these forums. Not all users have english as a first language. We exist to discuss software, share tips and help one another. Discussion and comments on Politics, Religion, or other topics that result in tears and yelling don't belong here. There are other websites that want to hear your political or religious views. These rules may evolve over time - but the general feel and purpose will remain the same. Any comments on these - feel free to PM me.

There needs to a sticky and not just because of blocking. Most forums use a sticky for rules with a subject line in all caps so fewer will miss it. Something like "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING" is how it's done on most forums." That's true, but if you break one or more rules on the forum in that Please Read Before Posting site you get banned from that site. It's what it is there for. I just thought it would be easier rather than having to go over every rule for each user where the rules might be a little different. For instance this is only the second forum I have ever been to that didn't allow curse words of any kind. I just think it would be a lot easier making a sticky. I'm not going to drag it on and on if they don't want to make a sticky. It's up to them. Hi Lee, hope you and your family are doing well, happy easter everyone.

I'd say that's fine. It's not like you are linking to something illegal or wrong in any way. If the developer wanted to host a copy of their own application to giveaway - there is nothing wrong with that. If you were linking to someone who was hosting other (expired) giveaways and including codes or instructions on bypassing the conditions of use, that would be a different matter entirely - because they would have no legal permission to give away that software.

There needs to a sticky and not just because of blocking. Most forums use a sticky for rules with a subject line in all caps so fewer will miss it. Something like "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING" is how it's done on most forums. Recently I wanted to post a link to Phelix which was still available free on the developer's site after the give away expired, for Bobby who had trouble registering. The one on the developer's site was even a newer version. But I didn't know (and still don't know) if that was OK or not because it was after the give away.

It's not likely to be an outcome that would occur completely by suprise. Stuff that will very probably get you blocked. <ul> <li>Abusive behavior and Offensive language. </li> <li>Continuing to repeat posts (spam) when your previous similar posts have been removed. </li> <li>Posts related to illegal activities. </li> <li>Personal attacks against other users </li> <li>Trolling/Baiting (posting only to start an argument). </li> </ul> Users are more likely to get blocked when the first posts they make after registering fall into the above categories. In the past I have noticed that the users who were blocked started their brief "career of abuse" less than one hour after registering for the forums. To them, it's like "Sport for idiots", but after a few posts - the point to their posts becomes very clear.

I know I signed off .. but one more time.. I would give all that I have to speak to those same family members of my own. My beloved grandmothers are both gone 2. My daughter Brandy died before she reached her first birthday. 3. I am fighting cancer for the second time m'self...having already lost every female member of my family to the ravages of that disease...but because of my faith, I have not shed a single tear over the situation or lost my own quirky sense of humor. 4. My father, a decorated WW2 medic, died years ago; my step-dad, also a Navy vet, died last year of Alzheimer's. We have common ground, you and I. Sarcastic remarks like 'holier-than-thou,' whining and moaning' and 'overly sensitive' are childish and uncalled for; moreover, they have no bearing on this subject. If the remarks were off-the-cuff, they would not have continued for several posts. It went beyond humor after the first post. Those of us that Believe _did_not_ start this discussion in a software forum, and although we stand by your right to your own beliefs, or lack thereof, we do not have to stand by while someone bashes our own set of beliefs, whatever they may be. As I originally pointed out, this simply was not the place for what should have been a private discussion between y'all. Agreed? Wolven .. I AM sorry to hear of your Mom's battle with cancer. I hope she has your sense of humor, because humor is the best weapon in that fight. I am also sorry to learn of the loss of your father in the course of military service. As a Navy veteran, I mourn the sacrifice he made for freedom's sake; as the descendant of generations of veterans, it is my wish that no further generations suffer what we have experienced. We have common ground, despite our philosophical differences. I would like to go forward from this point on good terms. Moderator, kind sir, would you delete the discussions pertaining to religion so we can end this? Now, once again...AX2USN signing off on this subject. It's over.

[Quote Whitmar57] Ask yourself..."Would I say what it is I am about to post to my Grandmother? My 3 year old Daughter or Son? My Mother or Father?" [/Quote] To be completely honest with you - I would give all that I have to speak for a moment with any of them,..but I am left to say it mostly to their memory. 1. My grandmother passed away a few years ago. 2. My daughter (only child) did not have the opportunity to reach her third birthday - Not even her first. 3. My mother is seriously ill with cancer at this moment. 4. My father died in the armed services in the early 90's. Were I overly sensitive, I feel that I would have greater cause to complain here than those who are worried over an off-the-cuff remark about the Pope. After all, I do/did know MY family far better than you know OUR 'God'. I did not appreciate that comment, as it raised several sad memories for me. The difference being, I am not going to complain about it. Now the fun has been laid to rest, I suggest the whining and moaning also join it and you all get the topic back on track. ...away into the sunset.

I just noticed people are still hung up on the religion thing. I was the person who originally mentioned "no religious wars" - and it was immediately mistaken to actually mean something about religion. That was not at all what I meant. <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/698?replies=60#post-3871" rel="nofollow">http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/698?replies=60#post-3871</a> A religious war (in the context of forums) also means when you get two or more camps who lay seige to each other and argue their sides point of view - and the argument goes on forever. If you want an example make a pro Microsoft comment in a Mac or Linux forum, stand back and wait for the pack of wolves start to circle. Suitable topics are Windows vs Linux, xbox vs playstation, (in Australia) Holden vs Ford. The main requirement is nobody should listen to any arguments, just present you own arguments repeatedly and insist you are right, everyone else is wrong, because you are right. Perhaps there are more similarities to actual religions than I first thought. Actual posts pushing or bashing religions will be deleted and the poster instructed to find a more appropriate forum for such topics. Don't give me religion - "We is Software".

Wolven, we love your half-bubble-off-plumb sense of humor! Please do not take my assessment as a personally disparaging comment ... it refers to a single incident, not your entire participation here. Wolven and Lee: Some folks just take their faith too seriously to stand by while others make denigrating comments about people, places and things associated with said faith. It is not a joke to us, it is an insult; and despite your protestations, I think you are both mature enough to realize that, without taking offense. Perhaps the forum rules should include the reminder: the things you can do are not always the things you should do. As for that painted donkey, Wolven.. you're braver than I! If I am going to ride off into the sunset, I want a big, strong Missourah mule for transport. Anything else would be like going to sea in a rowboat ...more fun and adventure than I need at this age. ~grin~ AX2USN signing off on this subject...'nuff said.

Having offered a prayer, lit a candle, made a donation, and been welcomed into Russian and Greek Orthodox, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Roman Catholic and general Christian houses of worship, in greater than 40 countries around this world of ours, with the inclusion of having been blessed by the Pope, I feel completely unqualified to submit comment. I will leave that to those who wish to be seen as more righteous and politically correct than the rest of us. So I will take my sense of fun and adventure, desire for the ridiculous,..retain my right to opinion and freedom of speech, mount my painted donkey 'Pepe', and ride slowly, westward, into the setting sun,..whispering something like, "Judge ye not, for thou shall be judged". A fond farewell, and good luck to all - Enjoy what you have,..while you still have it,...especially your glass houses. So interesting to note that those who rarely enter these forums in an effort to help others, at the first opportunity, can so quickly judge those they know little to nothing of. May the divine universal spirit be with you. Peace and love to all... Wolven.

However I don't think having a sticky of rules is correct they must be added to TOA (terms of agreement) when people sign up a username, they accept or decline. If they accept they join if they decline then hit back button and never come again is sarcastic but fair. So when Bubby has finally listed what is fair he can send them to top-of-the shop admin and they can be added to sign up. With a slight addition, that if you're already a member before rules came in then emails will be sent to members prior to rules being sent for you to agree to. O.K. to digress, I have a lot of jobs to phone up for, so will not be around for a bit, hope you all have fun and behave ha ha. whitmar57 on "Some rules to be written about" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/698/page/2#post-4034 Thu, 29 Mar 2007 07:36:09 +0000 whitmar57 4034@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Thank You Bobby!! In all the "discussion" on what the rules should be a few REGULAR members, who were apparently trying to show their support for said rules, DID SO WHILE also making offensive/ off color remarks referencing religion, the Pope and disrespecting the ten commandments. It's ironic! And a bit silly really to say in one breath that you agree that rules and guidelines are needed and then in the next make a slam about the Pope.... all in the same post! Wow! So I guess this proves it! It's even more obvious than before "GOogle" started his SPAM marathon that we certainly need to not only adhere to whatever rules the mods and admin lay down, but that we make sure and READ the rules carefully so as to not OFFEND people inadvertently or otherwise. And when all else fails and there is no guideline for your situation to be found??? Ask yourself..."Would I say what it is I am about to post to my Grandmother? My 3 year old Daughter or Son? My Mother or Father?" If the answer is no to any of those questions... Then I guess you just ran smack dab into what's referred to as "common sense" ... why don't we all act like adults and use a bit of that too ;-) Bobby on "Some rules to be written about" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/698/page/2#post-4031 Thu, 29 Mar 2007 06:08:23 +0000 Bobby 4031@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ C'mon guys! I hate to intrude on what should be a private conversation, but I object to the comments about religion posted here. This is not the proper forum for theistic or philosophical discourse. I would be happy to participate, elsewhere, in any discussion on religion (a philosophy) or faith (a relationship). In the meantime, please consider the other users on the site; remarks of this nature are offensive not only to Christians but also to Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Taoists, primal-indigenous-diasporic, Jewish, Hindu, 12 Step'ers and myriad other GAOTD participants who consider faith in a Higher Power an integral part of their life. emperor on "Some rules to be written about" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/698/page/2#post-3970 Tue, 27 Mar 2007 11:54:46 +0000 emperor 3970@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ To add my few comments on the subject (rather than recent posts) I would make the following observations: 1) In my limited experience, rules of conduct for a forum are most useful for those who want to behave properly but aren't sure of the etiquette involved. For old hands on the internet this may be second nature, but for newcomers all things seem strange and new, and guidance is very helpful. 2) Those who want to cause trouble will not be put off by a set of rules. Without wanting to push the comparison too far, the guest in a house wants to fit in, be part of the family. The burglar doesn't care what damage they do. 3) Having a set of rules (or guidelines) means that when a post has to be edited or even deleted, the reason can be given with reference to which rule has been violated. 4) The more prescriptive the rules, the more people are inclined to think that anything not explicitly stated is acceptable. 5) In daily life in the real world, different people from different backgrounds and experiences have different ways of expressing themselves and what is normal for one might be considered unacceptable by another. A bit of compromise might be needed in mode of expression, some having to temper how they say things and others having to not get easily offended. This would have to work with comment 3 above, as someone in all innocence might say something deemed unacceptable and wonder why it was edited. 6) In spite of 5 above, I think there should still be 'proceed with caution' areas, if not 'no go' areas. On the whole I think some rules are useful, but then they should apply to the comments section for each giveaway as well as this forum - perhaps people wishing to comment on the giveaways should be directed to a page where the rules are displayed, or a link to them should be prominently displayed by the comment box.

Have you hijacked this thread because it is too difficult to add positive, 'on-topic' comment here? There WILL be a set of forum guidelines. Neither yourself, nor any other member can change that. Best we can hope for is to participate in the creation of those rules, which to me, appears a fair compromise. If you are unhappy with that, or feel your comments/posts have been censored/removed, then you should fill out a complaint and send it to Admin., rather than continue the discussion here.

The thread started by someone accusing GAOTD of earning their money by planting Trojans and worms and whatnot in the downloaded software. In fact, I replied that that accusation was ridiculous and that I was of the opinion that the income was from Google syndication scrips which were inbedded in GAOTD web pages. I Thought it was an admin removing my post and I placed it again and again hoping for some reaction. The fact is also that those scripts are still there. What I'm saying in this thread here is that you didn't need 100 rules to remove my posts then and you don't need them now. I wish you've explained yourself then, I would have not carried on pasting them posts, that's for sure. But my wish is not your command ;-)
