Posting – You are allowed to visit the forum as anonymous, however,
posting is allowed only for registered users.
E-mail notification
– If you wish to receive e-mail notification about new posts in certain topics you can check in this option and you will receive the
web-link of each new post in these topics. If you set up this system it can also serve as an enhanced digest function.
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
