Everyday the forum is filled with questions that are already answered and I am sure everyday many newbies are banned for very basic mistakes. These are the posts that you should read:
- Protect your account against hacking:
(Note: Once hacked it takes a very long time to get it back, even if you protected it)
- Before complaining about
the merit system, know that many, far too many people have already done so. The system is here to stay.
Example of complaints and answers:

- Avoid spam, that is same or very similar message repeated several times. Avoid posts without content like "I like it", "Thanks", "Me too"...
- Donīt PM members or admins without a very good reason, better ask in public.
