General Forum Rules:
These rules apply to all Forum categories.

Make sure to read everything thoroughly before posting anything on the forum. Any violation of the below given rules may result in account suspension.

The below forums regulations/rules are subject to change without notice, and we recommend that you periodically look over this document in order to keep up to date. We reserve the right to terminate any user's account and/or remove any user's content at anytime, for any reason, without notice.

0. Discussions about any other hosting companies are not permitted unless specifically permitted by the staff.

1. We take the "Be Polite" rule very seriously! We do not tolerate any rudeness. Any member who is intentionally unpleasant or disruptive may be banned without warning.

2. If you SPAM our members in any manner, your account will be disabled. Do not contact anyone to suggest your product or service who is not explicitly expecting you to contact them. If you gleaned information from anywhere other than the advertising forums and use that to contact someone and present an offer, it's SPAM.

3. Your account is yours alone. You are responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important restriction your account, and any accounts associated with it, will be disabled.

4. All publicly displayed messages are limited to the English language. This includes posts, titles, signatures, and any attachments or other forms of public display.

5. Signature Spam (a post that was made in hopes of showing a signature, as determined by moderators) is forbidden in all forum categories.

6. You may not post commission, referral or affiliate links anywhere on the forum. You may not link to sites whose main income is derived from affiliate or referral links.

7. Cross-Posting is not allowed here. Cross-posting refers to posting new duplicate threads or posts, or the linking to threads or posts already started by the poster with the intention of gaining exposure.

8. You may not solicit any external source to post on this forum regarding your company, services, or products; or any company, services, or products you are or may be associated with.

9. You may not post on behalf of any banned member in any public manner. This includes all forums, private messages, signatures, and e-mail features.

10. You may not post words or URLs that are censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting characters; or by any other means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place by iHubNet Community Forums. Please contact us if you feel a word or URL is unjustly censored.

11. You may not link, in any manner, to sites or images containing pornography, sexually explicit, gross violence, or are determined by moderators to be detrimental to the community.


12. You may not bump threads. Bumping can refer to posting useless information, posting one-liners or any other action to deliberately keep a thread hot or to bring it to the top of its forum. Moderators will use their discretion, depending on the nature of the post, as to whether to take action or not.

13. You may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company; without first hand experience of those products or services. This includes companies recommending other companies. Any post not meeting a moderator's criteria will be removed without notice.

14. Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled.

15. Advertising is only allowed in the advertising forum. Advertising on any other forum is not permitted.

Public posts debating these rules and/or moderators' enforcement of such, will be removed without comment. We encourage feedback however and invite you to use our help desk if you have any questions or concerns.

Some forum categories have a "minimum post count" and/or "minimum length of membership" restriction before a member is allowed to start a new thread. Please read the Forum Description and the Announcement within if you get a permissions error while trying to start a thread. If you choose to make meaningless posts to circumvent this restriction, your account will be disabled.
