Forum Guidelines

The purpose of this forum is to provide a place for members to discuss learning languages using the FSI courses. Does that mean that this forum is a place where you can say whatever you want? No, it does not.

Here are the guidelines that will be strictly enforced:

* Personal attacks, harassment or hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated: criticize ideas, not people.

* Trolling will not be allowed: do not make posts that are inflammatory just to annoy people.

* Do not post pornographic, sexually-offensive, sexually-explicit, or objectionable material. This includes suggestive images, graphics, and comments.

* Do not use objectionable language.

* No religion, no politics.

* Do not use the forum to discuss pirate copies of language programs.

* Respect the privacy of others. Do not post other's phone numbers, addresses, pictures, etc., without their permission.

* No spamming. No commercial posts or flooding the forum with useless content.

* No blatant advertising. This forum is not free advertising space.

* Read previous posts on the same topic before asking a basic question. Other members do not wish to repeat the same discussions over and over again.

* Do not double post. One message goes into one sub-forum and only one.

* Violators will be dealt with, including being banned from the forum.

* The last rule: The administrators/moderators’ best judgment is the final call. Translation: The administrators/moderators can do whatever they want. If they want to delete a post, they can. If they want to lock a topic, they can. And they will.
