5 DEADLY SINS OF THE COMMUNITY

Sin #1. LINKS! Guys, please, don't even try to manipulate with posting the backlinks to your web sites and sources. We're here for professional purposes only. All the links are nofollow and even noindex! (except our own ones, of course). Will ban your IP address!

Sin #2. Illegal content. Everything that is prohibited by the law is tabu here as well!

Sin #3. Insulting, swearing and bullying (or anything alike) and any other kind of offensive behavior towards the other community members, even if the opponent really deserves that, is prohibited! The sin is punished with an IP address ban.

Sin #4. Arrogant and disguised promotion or advertising and spam. If we consider your post to be too promotional - we'll definitely delete it and put you on "close monitoring". In case you repeat the action, we'll give you a warning. After the third case, we'll ban your profile.

*If you have something great to spread a word about contact us via rogov@paragon-software.com and let's discuss the topic. Maybe we can arrange some publicity for you if it's worth it. Read our guest articles guidelines.

Sin #5. NEVER ask for emails, phones, or other sensitive personal information.

GENERAL POSTING GUIDELINES

2. Put the core of the question to the subject

When our community members browse our topics they can understand your issue by just reading the subject pf the topic. So, the more descriptive subject you provide, the more likely you attract proper people's attention and receive an answer.
