HiFiVision.com - Forum Rules

Last Updated: 18th April, 2010

To enhance the quality of the discussion along with the content of HiFiVision.com, we request that you abide by the following rules and guidelines when viewing, posting or replying to messages in the forum.

• We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously. We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning. A decent communication protocol must be adhered to. Foul language and use of abusive words/photographs in posts/avatars/signatures/topics are STRICTLY prohibited. Even indirect use of abusive language (e.g. B****) will attract moderator action.



• Since we do not collect personal information on this site we cannot determine or verify the identity of any member or the credentials or the level of expertise or authenticity of information or knowledge claimed by any member. We therefore suggest members not to base their decisions solely on comments, information or claims made by any other individual member or a group of members but rather use their own judgement. Any decision you take based on any information mentioned anywhere at www.HiFiVision.com is totally your own responsibility. HiFiVision.com or any of its associates or related parties and moderators do not vouch for any claims made by any member and will in no way be responsible for any of your decision based on any information mentioned by any member at HiFiVision.com!



• If any member makes any accusations about any retailer/manufacturer/distributor/dealer or individual member, they must first submit a verified/certified photo identity proof of their full name and address to forums admin along with verified/certified proof of the accusation. It's easy to exaggerate the events to favour your side of the story, but ultimately this is not the truth if you cannot backup your accusations without proof. Posting any such information without relevant proof will lead to your immediate ban without any warning.



• Post libellous, insulting, antagonistic, racist, aggressive or otherwise abusive remarks about any individual or company either within forum posts or the PM (Private Message) system without verified proof will lead to your immediate ban. We reserve the right to read the relevant PM or PMs where we receive a complaint that a forum user has received a PM or PMs breaking this rule.



• No personal attacks on any member will be entertained. This includes any direct / indirect attempt at trolling.



• All members will have an open window period of 24 hours during which time they may edit their posts. After this period members will not be able to edit their posts in any way whatsoever.



• Members request for their account/thread/post deletion or closure will not be entertained in any way whatsoever.



• You cannot SPAM or Solicit your products and/or services to any other member directly or indirectly in any way whatsoever. If you Solicit or SPAM our members in any manner, your account will be disabled. Do not contact anyone to suggest your product and/or service who is not explicitly expecting you to contact them in any way whatsoever.



• Your account is yours alone. You are responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important restriction your account, and any accounts associated with it, will be disabled..



• All publicly displayed messages are limited to the English language. This includes posts, titles, signatures, and any attachments or other forms of public display.



• Signature Spam (a post that was made in hopes of showing a signature, as determined by moderators) is forbidden in all forum categories.



• Your signature cannot contain any information (like website link, contact address, contact telephone number, contact email, etc) to promote your website, products and/or services.
