In repsonse to the bewildering amount of off-topic posts, and the increasing amount of personal arguments, it seems that some rules need to be introduced for this forum. And here they are:
1) All posts must be in English.
2) Absolutely no swearing of any kind. I honestly believe that everyone can make their point without the need for profanity. If not, this forum is obviously not for you.
3) No direct abuse; name-calling; references to others' appearance, nationality or location as a form of insult. Again, no need for this, and it is entirely irrelevant.
******************************
*** FOR THE ABOVE TWO POINTS ***
******************************
Messages containing these elements
shall be removed in their entirity. If
you really can't get your point across
without resorting to one, or both,
don't bother.
******************************
4) Please do not post under different names or identities. I understand that some people may share computers, fine. I'm more concerned about those that have managed to clock up postings under 20 different names or so, and especially those that post messages in which they have a conversation with themselves, in an apparent attempt to support their original point.
5) PLEASE stay on topic! This is a forum about Croatia: travelling to it, purchasing property in it, and living or moving to it. If you have a query about Croatia, but aren't too sure where to post it, do so in the Anything Else? section.
The Message Board Area is for items relating to these boards.
The Debate and Discussion board has a little more lee-way. For discussions, why not try posting there.
For everything else...well, that's what "Visit Croatia Off Topic" is for.
6) Please do not impersonate others. If someone is impersonating you on these boards, please contact me (webmaster@visit-croatia.co.uk, or via a private message) and I will investigate.
7) NO direct advertising. Please do not promote your company on these boards, UNLESS without prior agreement/arrangement.
8) NO spamming. And this includes "recommendations" of accommodation and similar - there is no need to post 10 identical messages recommending your service. If you'd like to be featured somewhere on the website, please send me an email on webmaster@visit-croatia.co.uk
9) No excessive copying and pasting from other sources, especially without any comments of your own! That's not the way to get your point across.
Messages that do not stick to these rules will be deleted or modified.
Above all, I'm fairly lenient - I don't go around deleting random messages without good reason. If you feel that you can't stick to these rules, then sorry...but please do find yourself a forum that you feel happier at.
