You may:
  • copy small parts of exclusive articles from this site only if you provide credit and link back here.
  • provide only link backs here when it comes to our exclusive files (downloads), so no redistribution is allowed without written permission from the original file authors/uploaders

Posting Guidelines
  • Write in English only. Posts or comments in other languages will be removed on sight.
  • Type in comprehensible English (this means NO txt tlk and no 1337 5p34|<). If you don't, members are obliged to ignore you.
  • Refrain from using Caps Lock, unless you really need to shout something - a couple of words, maximum one sentence. Never write the whole topic title in uppercase!
  • NO advertising allowed without staff permission.
  • NO linking to sites containing illegal material.
  • NO questions about pirated copies of the FM game, a no-CD crack or admitting to using one.
  • NO pornography-related material.
  • NO flaming, no sexist/racist/religious/discriminatory comments. No Nazi propaganda or racism will be tolerated here (and please, don't use any avatar, banner or nickname 'linked' with such ideologies).
  • NO group/staff/site bashing or insulting.
  • RESPECT other members. If you yourself do not like being mistreated or disrespected, don't go doing it to others. Speak your opinion in a mature and respectful way, and don't try to insult anyone.
  • NO double-posts (posting twice in a row), unless absolutely necessary
  • Topics must stay on topic. Discussion threads that stray off-topic will be locked if warnings are not heeded.
  • NO "Should <member> be unbanned/banned" or similar polls/threads. These will be locked immediately, and possibly followed by restriction of forum privileges.
  • NO questioning admin decisions regarding site changes or actions. It happens for a reason. These reasons may or may not be given, do not keep pressing for them if they are not.
  • NO making threads about locked threads.
  • When asking for help or support in the support forums, give as much detailed information as you can.

SPAM Control
This is not the place to spam and post nonsense. Before posting a new message think if it's worth posting at all.
We do sanction "spamming", and this can include everything we judge inappropriate and for the most part it has to do with using a bit of common sense.
  • NO spam, one-word posts
  • NO replying with a phrase like "it sucks" without backing it up with some argument is totally useless and will only offend people.
  • Short posting, including stuff in the vein of "PLEASE HELP!!!" is often considered spamming.
  • NO colour/size spam (the use of colour and size is permitted if you need to emphasize something, not so you can use it on every post)
  • Turning off-topic in a serious discussion serves no good to the quality of the forums.

When addressing staff:
  • Please under no circumstance disrespect the mods. They patrol FM Scout for the community, volunteering their time helping out.
  • We will NOT tolerate any abuse towards any members of the staff (doing so may result in a possible ban).
  • If you feel you have been mistreated by a staff member, do not insult or bitch at them. Contact one of the administrators/owners so we can resolve this in a civil manner.

Also, when creating new threads, please bear in mind the following:
  • Use the forum search before posting a thread.
    There's a good chance that there already is a similar thread, and there's no need for a second one.
  • Name your topics according to their content.
    If you're writing about some particular subject, try to reflect it in your topic title as clear as possible.
    Titles like "Check this out!" are no good, and the title may be edited and the user that originally comes up with the title will be given a warning.

That being said, you should have no problem if you make use of a little common sense.
Should you have any question; please send a private message to one of the guys in the moderation team or simply use the contact form before you do something that we may deem as wrong.
