Fanfare Community Usage Guidelines

The Fanfare Community is designed to be a friendly, informative, respectful and safe community for Fanfare users and customers to exchange ideas, tips, advice and information related to Fanfare products and services. The Fanfare Community is accessible by all and will remain most valuable when everyone follows certain basic guidelines. These guidelines are presented here so that you know what is expected of you and what you can expect from other participants when using the Fanfare Community.

 

USAGE GUIDELINES

 

Ask for help.

  • Moderators and other experienced users are here to help, so please ask for assistance if you are unsure about posting rules or forum etiquette.


Be respectful.

  • The Fanfare Community is meant to be a supportive environment for all users.  Flaming or disrespecting other members is not allowed.


Follow the “golden rules” of posting.

  • Before submitting a new post, always search the boards for a similar question or topic to see if the answer already exists.
  • Be as specific as possible in your post.  This will help others understand your issue more easily and will lead to faster resolution.
  • Post to the correct category.  Each board has a defined category.  If your topic does not pertain to a particular category, please post it to one of the “general” topic boards.


Act responsibly.

  • Do not give out personal information (yours or others) in public forums.
  • Use common sense and do not follow links or download files that seem suspicious or out of place.
  • Notify a moderator of any suspicious activity.


Abuse of the following guidelines could result in suspension or banning.

  • Do not use the Fanfare Community for spamming or promotion purposes.  Do not post anything that could be considered spam, junk mail, advertising, or any other form of unsolicited offer.
  • Illegal or offensive posts, including posts that are pornographic, racist, sexist, vulgar, abusive, threatening, or otherwise objectionable, are not allowed.
  • Personal attacks or harassment (otherwise known as flaming) is not allowed in either public forum posts or private messages.
  • Refrain from posting material, or links to material, that infringes on copyrights or intellectual property rights.
  • Harmful files and code, including viruses, should not be included or referenced in any posts.
