Insults, provocations, discriminations and slander comments against other users, persons who are not involved in the discussion as well as persons who do not participate in this board (third parties) are not allowed.
b. Please keep the board clean. Don't spam it with useluss junk. Think about the content before you actually write a post. Please use the Search Function to look for similar content before you open a thread.
c. Take some seconds to check with the Search Function (board) as well as search engines regarding an answer to a question you might have before you post that question. Repeatedly asking the same questions, especially if they have been answered a lot of times before, is not loved by the user family.

The only exception is the Off Topic Thread "Werbung hier!" (Advertisement here) where you can post commercial links and advertise products.
e. Posting articles published by online media (newspapers etc.) is limited. You are only allowed to post a part of the article because of copyright reasons. Please just quote the important facts/lines. Links to articles are allowed.
2. Please contact the board staff if you encounter a violation against these rules. Just click on the exclamation mark-button which is on the right at every post.
