Forum Conduct
This community was established to be a safe and friendly place for vintage computer enthusiasts of all experience levels to collaborate on the hobby we all love.
If everyone follows the rules, we think this can be a great place for everyone to hang out and get their geek on. We hope you have fun and enjoy your stay here!

Conduct Guidelines:
In short, we follow the Bill & Ted motto, "Be excellent to each other!".
We all come from different backgrounds and skill levels, so please take into consideration the following when posting on the forum.
Keeping The Peace
Our moderators are a friendly group of volunteers dedicated to keeping things safe and civil on the forum. Moderators abide by the same rules all forum members do. If you have a concern with an interaction with a moderator, please contact a forum administrator (Feedback Form).
Contact from moderators and administrators will be kept discrete whenever possible. If there is a problem with your behavior or your conduct on the forum, a moderator or admin may contact you via private message on the forum. The goal is to inform you of anything that requires your attention and to keep everything civil. If the problem persists and all efforts are exhausted, disciplinary action may be taken, including your removal from the forum. We, of course, hope this doesn't happen!
Reporting Problems
If you feel that you have been personally harassed or attacked, please take a moment to think about what has occurred. We encourage you to try and have a civil conversation with the individual in question via the private message feature.
Verbal offenses can often be unintentional due to language barriers or how text can come across when read. We all make mistakes and encourage others to forgive and forget.
If the situation cannot be resolved personally, please inform a moderator via private message of the situation. The moderator will keep the details of your communication private but will likely need to reach out to the other individual to understand the issue at hand.
If your issue is with a moderator, please message a forum administrator. Forum administrators are moderated by our board of directors (Feedback Form).
