Here are some points on this subforum's ground rules— some of them are just reptition of the overall forum standards. Most of this should go without saying, but it seems a few people need some reminders.
Stay on-topic.
All threads created should be about custom mining hardware, its operation, or its production (including the companies making it or the technology involved). Generally the subject matter should be boring— technical, procedural, dry things. We're talking about custom hardware for mining here, not civil rights or awesome rock concerts.
Within a thread all messages should pertain to the subject of the thread which is described in the thread title or original post. Avoid tangents and especially avoid responding to tangents. Off-topic posts may be spindled, folded, or mutilated at the moderators discretion.
Posts should generally not make people angry. If you expect that your post will make people angry that is a sign that it may be in the wrong sub-forum. However, in some rare cases factual material about custom hardware or its vendors will make people angry. In these cases it is all the more important to be dry, factual, and to avoid speculation.
In all cases, do no harass or stalk people. Keep your behavior civil and professional. Harassment will be ruthlessly deleted or edited until it is a mockery of the poster (in all cases edited posts will be marked accordingly). If you are in doubt about a behavior it is probably harassment. Don't do it. If you feel you need to investigate a party that has scammed you, take it to the scam accusation sub-forum.
Feel free to provide criticism but don't belabor it. Making the same point over and over again is spam.
To avoid wasting people's time avoid bumping threads with pointless +1s, meme images, or "inb4" messages. Silence is golden. If you don't have something substantive to say, please say nothing at all.
If you are unhappy about these conditions I invite you to not post in custom hardware.
Cheers and happy discussing.
