In order to keep the forums running well and to prevent problems, please follow these simple rules. If you have any questions or problems, please feel free to contact one of the PocketGPSWorld Team or a PocketGPSWorld Moderator.
Forum Registration Issues
If you have any issue with your forum registration, i.e. you have not received the registration confirmation email or you have forgotten/mislaid your user-name and or password then you may request assistance by sending an email to tlckendal@googlemail.com
Please Do Not create Multiple Identities for whatever reason. This creates unnecessary work when problems arise. If you have an issue contact us and we can re-advise you of your user-name and or reset your password as necessary.
1. General Rules
While debate and discussion is to be welcomed, we will not tolerate rude or insulting posts, personal attacks, unnecessarily inflammatory posts or posts of a sexual nature. Team members and Moderators have the final decision in these matters.
Before posting a query it always good practice to search the forums for previous postings. It is very likely that your issue may have been answered already.
Please ensure you use helpful topic titles, this ensures the best response from others. Titles such as 'Help!' are meaningless and will not increase your chance of assistance!
Multiple or repeated posting of the same question in one or more forums is not permitted.
Whilst we welcome announcements that would be of general interest to other forum members, blatant advertising, spamming and trolling is forbidden. This includes using the Private message system to spam other members or discuss illegal activity, commercial links in signatures or profiles etc. Users who flout this rule will have their posting privileges removed.
Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed and any user found to be posting under multiple identities risks having one or more accounts suspended and a forum membership ban.
We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
Any threads/posts of these types may be deleted without warning.
Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
2. Images in Forum Posts
If you link to any images in a post they should be no more than 450 pixels in width and no more than 800 pixels in height. Images that exceed this size limit will be removed.
Offensive images or images that are otherwise considered unsuitable will be removed.
3. Commercial Advertising
You may not use forum posts or the private messaging system to advertise any commercial product or service that you or your company offers. Explicit advertising in forum posts, signatures, profile links or by the use of Avatar’s for commercial purposes is prohibited.
4. Forum Usernames
Usernames chosen when registering should follow a few basic guidelines:
Forum names that suggest you are officially representing a company, organization or official body when no such status has been granted are not permitted. Any user who registers with a username that contravenes these rules may have their registration canceled or their forum user-name changed.
5. Avatars
Animated avatars other than those available in the Avatar Gallery on this site are not permitted. They must not be be sexually explicit nor may they violate any other forum guidelines. Any image must be no larger than 64 x 64 pixels.
6. Links in Signatures
Links in signatures must follow these guidelines:
Promotional text for a commercial product or service is not permitted without prior approval.
A link and promotional text for site's that are non-commercial and do not sell product(s) and/or service(s) is allowed, provided the site does not violate normal community standards. Links to other enthusiast sites are permitted in most cases.
IP identifiers and similar are not permitted.
Duplicate links to the same URL in a signature are not allowed.
The PocketGPSWorld Team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards and what links are deemed permissible.
7. Signature Size Limits
All signatures should not exceed the following size limits, NOTE: you cannot have both text and images in your signature:
For text signatures: 4 lines maximum.
For images in signatures: 1 image up to 450 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 20k in size
8. Forum Ranks
The Forum Rank System is structured as follows:
New Member (0-9 posts)
Active Contributor (10-24 posts)
Regular Contributor (25 + posts)
Active Member (50 + posts)
Senior Member (100+ posts)
Notwithstanding any of the above, TLC reserve the right to add to, alter or remove any restrictions without notice or further reference.
Finally! We have very few problems within our forums, treat others as you would wish to be treated, be polite and we will all get along swimmingly
