Just a Few Words Before Entering the Forum

Please read the information below to learn about the ground rules of our forum. 

If, however, you've read it already, please
go straight to the forum.

Want a Special Forum for your Club or Organization?

Want a place where your club members can exchange info and ideas? We can create a special forum just for you.  Please let us know.

We have implemented the following guide for using our new community forums. This guide is designed to strike a balance between the main goal of our forums, providing support, and keeping the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere of our community.

• We require all posts to be positive, constructive, and on topic. We may delete individual posts that could ruin a good topic thread. 
• We reserve the right to remove any topics we deem inappropriate or disruptive to our community. Please note that, from time to time, topics may be removed for being inappropriate even though your individual post in that topic may have been perfectly fine. Please do not feel this reflects badly on you.
• Having fun is good, we like fun.
• Please keep it positive and polite. We do not censor opinions or ideas on our forums but we do take action against posts and/or topics that could cause unrest in the community beyond a civil and polite disagreement.
• You may not make personal attacks on other users or staff members either in public forums or private messages.
• You may not use profanity. It is unprofessional and offensive and will not be tolerated. We have word filters in place for the most vulgar terms. Circumventing those word filters will result in punitive action.
• We reserve the right to ban any member who violates our guidelines or disrupts our community. We will be fair and provide warning in most cases.
• If you have an issue concerning our services, policies, or staff, please use a personal contact method such as a private message or email to a staff member. All moderators, administrators, and support staff are highlighted in the active members list. We take serious complaints to heart and will do our best to address them.
• Forum Staff are Moderators and Forum Administrators.
• Advertising:  Only dcPinoy Directory Listing members are allowed to advertise at the forum.  Directory Listing members however must use this privilege judiciously.  dcPinoy reserves the right to revoke this privilege at any time.

The Golden Rules

• There will be no use of profanity whatsoever.
• There will be no racial, ethnic, gender based insults or any other personal discriminations.
• There will be no posts meant to offend or hurt any other member, in a manner which is offensive or inflammatory.
• Spamming is not permitted; please keep all your posts as constructive as possible.
• Pornography, Warez, or any other illegal transactions may NOT be linked in any shape or form.
• All posts are property of the poster. This forum and all web sites owned in conjunction with this forum have the right to request alteration or deletion of any offensive post. Posts may be deleted for any reasons the forum administrators deem reasonable.
• Users may not argue a moderator's decision publicly. Any and all complaints directed at a moderator must first address the moderator in question via PM. If the problem can not be resolved, then the moderator and user must send their positions to the forum admin. The forum admin will make or change any and/or all final decisions.
• Pictures may be posted as long as they are not explicit or offensive. If you plan to post an image, or the topic is based on graphics, please upload it to a server location of your choice and link the images from your post.  We'd love to give everyone upload rights, but we'd like keep the server as clean as possible to give more space for posts rather than images.
• Text signatures are welcome.  Please keep text signatures under 5 lines. Failing to comply will result in the removal of your signature.
• Only dcPinoy Directory Listing members are allowed to post advertisements at our forum.   Directory Listing members however must use this privilege judiciously.   dcPinoy reserves the right to revoke this privilege at any time.
• Foul/offensive language is prohibited.  Such language will be removed.  Repeat offenders will be banned after reminders from the staff.
• Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other topics and see where your topic should go. If your topic is placed in the wrong forum, it will be moved by a moderator.
• If a topic is recognized as being posted in the wrong forum, or if the post is a violation of our guidelines then please contact a moderator either via PM or the 'report post to moderator' feature; please do not respond publicly to the member - a member of staff will do what is required upon contact. Any person/s who attempt to present themselves as a Moderator by posting negatively to a member's topic (which has been posted in error and requires locking or moving to another forum) will be sent a PM warning and placed into moderation queue upon further actions.
• Any impersonation of a user from these forums, in any mode of communication, is strictly prohibited and will result in a banning.
• Linked and locked topics are pruned regularly to reduce page clutter. If you have a question about where your topic went, please PM a Moderator or Administrator before starting a new topic asking where it went, or posting a duplicate of the original topic. We will be happy to provide you with a link to the new location, or a reason why it was locked and/or removed.

Violation of any of these rules will result in consequences determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for visiting and becoming a member of dcPinoy Forum and we hope you enjoy your stay.

Quick Note for our Pinoy Business Directory members:  Your login account from the business directory doesn't carry over to the Discussion Forum.  This separates your business data account from the forum account which makes for a more robust and secure system.  You have to register to enter the forum.
