Newsgroup Guidelines and Rules

The following guidelines and rules apply to working and communication on the RemObjects Software newsgroups available at news://news.remobjects.com.

Keep the following in mind when accessing the RemObjects Software newsgroups:

1. Do not post using anonymous names.
2. Do not post using fake email addresses.
3. Direct your comments or questions to the relevant group.
4. Do not cross post.
5. Be respectful and courteous to other users.
6. Do not bash other product vendors, complain about problems with other vendors or their products in these forums - if you have issues with other vendors, contact them directly or use their appropriate forums.
7. Do not post copyrighted materials without the express consent of the author.
8. Do not flame or post inflammatory messages.
9. RemObjects Software reserves the right to reference and reuse any information posted on the public newsgroups - for example to assist other users with related problems. This might include source code snippets posted to the public newsgroups. You will be fully credited in any such case.
10. RemObjects Software reserves the right to remove any message that does not comply with these terms.

About posting style - The usual rules about courtesy to people apply double here.

1. People read these messages from everywhere in the world, and local joking styles may not carry very far. Be sure to consider this before posting messages that might be misunderstood.
2. Please avoid posting in HTML. Besides the risk for viruses, this often results in semi-readable messages, and many users are still using news readers that do not support HTML.
3. Be careful about quoting - keep quotes to a minimum, bearing in mind that many people have metered telephone charges.
4. Please make sure that the Subject line, to which you are posting under, is relevant to what you're posting. Threads tend to drift quickly, making Subject lines thoroughly misleading - if the topic of a thread has changed considerably, consider adjusting the Subject line of your reply to reflect this.
