These are the only Forum Rules that I have found. Are there more?

Any message posted on our forums expresses only the views of the author of the message and does not necessarily reflect the views of AnandTech Forums or any person or entity associated with them. AnandTech Forums uses moderators and administrators to monitor the content and appearance of messages posted in our forums.

Therefore, you agree that neither AnandTech Forums, nor any person or entity associated with them, will be held responsible for the contents, accuracy, completeness or validity of any information posted in them.

You agree that you will not use our forums to post any material, or links to any material, which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.

You agree that you will not post any copyrighted material without the express permission of the copyright holder, unless such copyright is owned by you, this forum or the AnandTech website. Advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also inappropriate on AnandTech Forums.
We have the ability to edit and/or remove objectionable messages. Any user who believes that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to contact us immediately by email at [e]moderator@anandtech.com[/e]. Upon receipt of such notification, we will make every effort to take such action as we deem necessary within a reasonable period of time. Since this is a manual process, you are advised that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.

AnandTech Forums reserves the right to edit or delete any message for any reason whatsoever, at our sole discretion. You agree that you are solely responsible for the content of your messages, and that you will indemnify and hold harmless AnandTech Forums, AnandTech.com, FuseTalk (the makers of the bulletin board software) and their agents and employees with respect to any claim based upon the appearance and/or transmission of your message(s).

Yes, there are more.

The forum descriptions contain some more posting guidelines. Also at the top of the FS/T forum there are specific rules for buying, selling and trading on AT.

Common sense is a good tool to use when posting as well. If you think the content is iffy or unsuitable, then it probably is.

Have fun.

That one rule pretty much covers it, right??? Are you still complaining about your locked thread in Hot Deals???

Psycoholic:

Not really complaining, just trying to find out what the rules are. The post that you referred to did not violate any rule that I have found. A forum should not be like walking across a land-mine field wondering when your communication will be locked. Most of us probably don't have that much time to waste to have our messages locked-up. From what I have read, it appears that I am not the only one who has experienced this problem.

Oh well, I supppose it is pretty much seat-of the-pants learning here.

You can also take examples from the locked threads you do see as a guide to help you know what the mods consider lockable material material and what's not.


If you have a question or concern, you're always free to pm the mods or shoot an email their way.

Your post in Hot Deals did not belong in the forum it was placed according to the reasoning of the Moderators. I would have to say that I and others would tend to agree.

You're making this more sound more difficult than it is.

syseng,

We have already told you that your thread was locked because it was NOT a hot deal. What part of that are you failing to grasp? Now, stop wasting our bandwidth beating a dead horse.
