Be Respectful and Courteous
- Treat all members with respect and courtesy. Personal attacks, harassment, or discriminatory remarks will not be tolerated.
Stay On Topic
- Ensure your posts and replies are relevant to the forum’s focus on lighting controls. Off-topic discussions should be taken to the designated off-topic area.
No Spam or Self-Promotion
- Avoid posting spam or unsolicited advertisements. Self-promotion, including links to personal websites or businesses, is only allowed in designated areas and must comply with forum guidelines.
Use Clear and Descriptive Titles
- Make your post titles clear and descriptive to help others understand the content of your post and to improve searchability within the forum.
Search Before Posting
- Before creating a new topic, use the search function to see if your question or topic has already been addressed. This helps reduce duplicate posts and keeps the forum organized.
Provide Detailed Information
- When asking for help, provide as much detail as possible about your issue or question. This includes system specifications, software versions, and any troubleshooting steps you’ve already taken.
No Illegal Content
- Do not post any content that is illegal, including pirated software, copyrighted material without permission, or discussions about illegal activities.
Respect Privacy
- Do not share personal information of others without their consent. Protect your own privacy by not posting sensitive personal information publicly.
Report Inappropriate Content

No Plagiarism

Follow Moderator Instructions
- Moderators are here to help maintain the forum. Follow their instructions and respect their decisions. If you have concerns about a moderator’s actions, contact the forum administrator privately.
Keep Signatures Appropriate
- If the forum allows signatures, keep them short and appropriate. Avoid using large images, excessive links, or inappropriate content.
Constructive Criticism Only
