Newsgroups – The content of
ArchiCAD-Talk after 2003 October will also be available from newsreader
applications. The newsreader interface will, however, be read only. Posting is
allowed only in the web-based forum.
Advertisements - An ad is anything being sold (services, hardware, software, etc.) All ads *must* have the topic tag [adv] in the subject line, and must be ArchiCAD related somehow. An ad for the same item should not be posted more than once in a 7-day period. Failure to comply with this policy will result in: First offense: a written warning, Second offense: cancellation of the membership.
ArchiCAD Licenses - You can use ArchiCAD-Talk for searching and offering used ArchiCAD licenses. These offers must be without reference to the price. The actual deal has to be made off-line. Graphisoft has no liability for the legitimacy of any offering made on this site. If we have reason to suspect that an improper offering is being made, we reserve the right to delete the post. Second offence may involve cancellation of membership.
Binaries - It is allowed to upload pictures
and files to the forum. Nevertheless, the file size is limited (one 256 Kb file
to each post) so if there is a bigger file you think people might be interested
in, feel free to send the URL so that they can decide to download it themselves
if they're interested.
Subjects - Use an appropriate subject. Titles should provide information about the
content of the message.
Quoting - If you're referencing a part of
someone's message, it’s proper etiquette to quote the message, and give an
attribution to the author (use the forums technology for this). However,
unnecessary quoting can also create extremely
long messages. Try to limit yourself to quoting only the essential portion of
the message.
Spam, Humor and anything forwarded - Don't forward chain letters, Spam,
humour, or Internet junk mail to the list.
Avoid Profanity - Remember that everybody has a
different idea as to what is vulgar or profane, so be thoughtful and avoid the
commonly used "four letter words."
It is Graphisoft’s discrete right to remove any posts that conflict with its business interests !
