Banning:
We prefer not to ever ban anyone but it does happen, its just the world we live it. If you have a question about your ban you can email us at [customerservice at durangodaveswebservices dot com]. However it really should be no surprise to anyone because we fully explain to members before the ban ever happens. If you feel you were unjustly banned then please contact us at that email and we will revisit the case. # -
Posting Code: If you are going to post any kind of computer code PHP, CSS, HTML, JS, or any other computer code, please use the code BBCODE which is right next to the quote BBCODE. An example would be:
Code: Select all
<?php echo "whatever"; ?>
Which results in this:
<?php echo "whatever"; ?>
Code: Select all
<a href="example.com">example.com</a>
Which results in this:
<a href="example.com">example.com</a> # - Discouraged Topics: Please do not talk about religion, politics, or any other topic that is sure to incite or cause drama in the forums. This is not the place for those topics. This is a support forum. #
- New Member Limitations: New members will need to use the captcha for the first 5 posts, after that it goes away. #
- Language Usage: Please be kind and refrain from using profanity of any kind in our forum. Again this is not the place for that. #
- Editing, Removing, And Locking Posts: Moderators and Admin of the site have full permissions to edit, remove, or lock a post. We will do this if we feel the content does not abide by our rules or we feel that the content does not belong on this forum. Posts will be locked when we feel the topic has run its course and/or further replies are no longer required. #
- It's Not Personal: If your topic gets changes or removed or locked, or you get a warning or get banned. Please understand it is not personal. We make those decisions based on content and actions not by personal issues. This mean that even if we disagree on an idea, you have the right to share those ideas as long as they fall without our rules. We have to look out for other members and the reputation of our website. We never warn, ban, change or remove content based on personality conflicts. So please don't ever think its personal, its not! And if you really think it is then notify me, I will investigate and handle it from there. #
- Bottom Line: The bottom line is that this is a support forum for members that have questions about one of our projects. It is not a social site or a hang out. It's purpose is to help others get the answers they need when they have a question. Please be professional and please be kind to others. #
