Forum Rules

To maintain our Forum as a friendly and educational area for everyone, please follow our rules and read the terms and conditions of use when participating or using the website.

Respect Our Members

We are an investor-focused discussion forum for people of varying ages, nationalities, cultures, beliefs please respect our members. Please write in clear English, remember your Netiquette (http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html), and read over your messages before posting in order to avoid possible misunderstandings.

Play nice while you're here. We ask that you refrain from discussing topics that are not related to property investments, such as politics and the such.

No flaming, baiting, insults, or harassment of other members on the forum or via private message. Lack of respect for other members will result in post removal and/or temporary or permanent suspension of all member privileges.

No Advertising or Self-Promotion

Keep the self promotion to the networking side of the website. We welcome advertising but have zero tolerance so sales and marketing on the forum boards which are there for discussion and debate not sales pitches. We don't allow self-promoting, advertising, or soliciting visitors to your own or an affiliated website, forum, mailing list, service, product, workshop, conference, auction, etc, either via posts, threads, email, or private message. We welcome any paid for advertising that you may want to do and for that purpose you can contact us directly with your requirements.

All advertising will be removed unless you have express written permission from administration.

Caution: multiple posts of this nature may be considered self-promotion and advertising.

Spam, affiliate links, and links to other forums will be removed without notice. Also posts including Amazon or other retailer links may be altered to include affiliate IDs.

Please, no person, website or business can link to any page on this site without first requesting permission to do so from our. To request such permission please write to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Post in the Right Place

First, use the search feature. There are many existing messages in our forums. Your question might have been answered - there may already be a whole thread on the topic.

Make an effort to find the most suitable board for your question, so you will receive more replies. Don't cross-post or repeat the same message in more than one board. We made maximum effort to create as many relevant topics as possible if you see a topic for a board missing, please let us know we will consider adding such board or subtopic in a board.

Summary the topic of your thread in your subject line. This way, it takes fewer clicks to see what your message is about, and it assists everyone else (including you) in finding the thread again later.

Threads that are off-topic for their board may need to be moved to a subscriber-only forum, where a non-subscriber cannot view their thread.

Stay On-Topic

Asking a new question deep within a thread, that isn't directly related to the original topic? Post it in a new thread so everyone can follow the discussion. This will benefit you as you may get new replies and fresh ideas when everyone can see the new thread.

Tempted to diverge into an unrelated tangent while deep in a thread? Show good manners and move your discussion to a more appropriate area.

Avoid meta-discussion, which is discussing the discussion you're having. Instead of talking about the thread or post itself while you're posting in it, stick to the original topic. Any concerns about our policies, rules or guidelines should be sent privately to a moderator or to administration for handling.

Quality, Not Quantity

We like thoughtful posts that contribute your thoughts or opinion. Don't post 'Me too', 'I agree', 'Well said', 'I have this too', 'bump' type one line messages, as these will be removed by moderators.

Keep personal conversation to Private Messaging. If your conversation is directed at one other person and is of no interest to anyone else - take it to private messaging.

Respect Our Moderators & Forum Policies

Respect for members also extends to the moderators. our moderators are volunteers and often have to deal with challenging situations and differing views when maintaining our community, and the vast majority of the time they do a great job. You can help our moderators out by using the "Report to moderator" tool, the link can be found on the bottom of each post, if you see something violating these rules or needing attention.

Any queries, concerns, arguments or discussion about a moderator's decisions, actions or behavior should not be discussed in public. You may instead respectfully contact the moderator in private, or administration if the situation is unable to be resolved.

Forum policies or rules are not to be discussed on the forum in any manner. Disagreement or suggestions for changes may instead be sent directly to administration for consideration.

No Impersonations

Be yourself. No duplicate member accounts or multiple personas. Creating multiple accounts or impersonating another person or member in order to solicit information or gain access to the forum will result in a permanent ban.

Keep It Legal and Polite

This should go without saying: do not post any messages that are knowingly false or misleading, obscene, profane, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, invasive of someone's privacy, or otherwise in violation of any laws.
