Rules/FAQ for the forum. A maximum of three warnings for any user not following the below rules.
1. Familiarise yourself with this place
Take your own sweet time to familiarise with the forum and its pulse. Only then start posting. Visit other similar forums to know the difference between forum and an e-group.
2. Where to start?
I. Start by providing a brief introduction about yourself in the 'Anouncement' Section's "Introduce Yourself" thread. This will help exisiting members know more about you so that they can help, if need be.
II. Best place to start posting is in Chit-Chat forum. Whatever you do there, will be recieved in lighter vein and you wont be disappointed to see your first posts/thread locked/moved or criticized.
3. Spams & Flames
I. No multiple threads on same/similar topics. We encourage posting in existing threads so that the forum is more manageable. Mutiple threads would be locked by moderators and purged later.
II. Do not SPAM or post in threads that have specific puposes ( like, Alumni Zone, Announcements ) unless you mean it. Frequent violaters shall be banned.
III. We are all a friendly and helpful bunch out here. Don't make personal attacks on anyone. Bring it to notice any issue/concerns to mods if need be.
IV. USE SHOUTBOX whenever in doubt. Some of the old-timers mite be around at that time to help you.
4. Posting in threads
I. Sharing of personal information such as Phone numbers/addresses in posts are strictly forbidden. You may use PM/mail to share such information.
II. No canvasing to sell any materials. Exchange of exam related items such as Mock Cats, materials is however permitted. Users violating this rule would be warned. And repeated offenders would be banned.
III. Make use of the Search functionality extensively. This place has been around for a while and your question might have already been raised and answered in appropriate thread(s). Trivial threads shall be locked and purged immediately.
IV. Use quote function whenever you are refering to a particular post/posts. This will facilitate easy reading. However, refrain from quoting full posts as it will occupy unnecessary space.
V. Name your threads appropriately. This will not only facilitate user to filter unwanted threads but also it will make search easier. For example, a thread on SimCat-1 better have that word in the title rather than an something like "My first simulated feline examination".
VI. Go easy on CAPS. Posting messages in CAPS is not only rude but also makes it uncomfortable to read. Refrain from using very light or dark colours for posts. They annoy readers.
VII. Be nice to everyone. Sarcastic comments, innuendoes and behaviour unbecoming of the regulars who visit here will not be taken lightly.
VIII. Do not post MATERIAL where you do not have permission to distribute it electronically or otherwise.

Major thanks to Sambar, Praveen and Adiieu for creating the above set of rules for the forum.
I personally would ask the forum members, old and new to adhere to the above tenets. If a newbie makes a mistake, please send him/her back to this post. If need be, quote the specific rule as a reply to the wrong post.
I'm sure once all of you help in the active moderation, the forum will be a better place and we will be able to maintain the quality of the forum for years to come. If you see a post not following the above rules, feel free to intervene and make your point.
More than we mods doing the job, I would sincerely appreciate it if everyone moderated for the betterment of the place to ensure the quality we have come to expect of this place.
Major thanks to Sambar, Praveen and Adiieu for creating the above set of rules for the forum.
PG..the credit should go ONLY to Praveen and Sambar....moi has been vey busy with work for the past 2 days and contributed zilch to the above...

Thanks – You can Thank a post in the following scenarios –
A post guiding a newbie about the activities on pagalguy.
A post which gives immense value to a discussion or provides critical information.
A post which is in length and presents its thoughts in a articulate manner.
A post which is really full of humor and makes you see light of things.
You groan when –
Someone use abusive language in his post.
Someone posts which is irrelevant to the current discussion.
Someone tries to create controversies with scrupulous agenda.
Groans are definitely NOT meant to signify your disagreement of views with any other user or your personal disliking.
Always remember, if you groan at lots of posts, you lose out on making friends. You set off a chain reaction when the person you groaned at groans on all your future posts in retaliation. Over time, both of you start to look like people that nobody wants to see on the forum. Thank more , groan only when you think it is highly crucial. If you do not agree with someone else’s views, PM him/her or contribute to the discussion in a holistic manner.
