The PPF Forum Rules and Regulations
Updated November 5, 2010

New member registration

1. PPF is a casual group, not an elite group. You do not need to be good in playing Drummania or any other music game, and we do not have opening exams for new members. Everyone is welcome, as long as you have interest in playing the game, or want to hang-out with your other friends who are PPF as well.

2. PPF is a closed forum, meaning that is it not open for the public, unless you are registered. Upon registration, please wait for the activation mail - this may take hours, or days.

2. Upon registration, please make sure that you are using a valid and active e-mail address, or you will not receive the activation e-mail from the PPF Admin.

3. No duplicate accounts or identity please. Duplicate sign-up accounts will be deleted immediately, and multiple identity accounts, once proven, may be banned from this forum.

4. If you have already registered in this forum, and your account is still inactivated, or by any chance your account has been deactivated, you may follow up by sending an e-mail to habble2k@yahoo.com.

Posting Rules and Regulations

1. No textspeak or chatspeak (musta knb? aus k lng b? is an example). Spell out your words. You are also discouraged to use sticky caps. You will be deducted Freak Points if you are caught:

2. No post-whoring (single word / smiley replies) spamming (posting thread replies that are irrelevant to the topic) or double posting (posting two or more consecutive posts at the same day). Do not post just for the sake of increasing your post count or freak points. We may be lax about this rule, but we still have limits.

3. Observe netiquette. Avoid flame-baiting and trash talk. Speak only in English or Tagalog - no dialects please. It is the responsibility of the poster to censor swear words he may want to use and to construct his post so as not to be offensive to anybody.

4. Follow any rules and regulations threadstarters may include in their topics.

5. Be mindful in creating your own threads/topics. Make sure that the topic you make does not exist yet. To do this, use the Search function diligently and search for existing threads. Making a thread that already exists deduct 50 Freak points from you, so be very careful.

6. We are officially opening a PPF Marketplace forum as of this date, January 23, 2007. However, we advise everyone to read the rules and regulations before posting or negotiating.

7. Please do not use the Private Message system to send unsolicited messages to PPF members.

8. No member has the right to curse or malign any activities of the PPF Moderators. Examples of activities of the moderate as, deleting unnecessary posts, subtracting freak points or moving inappropriate topics.

9. All private, personal and one-on-one conversations shall go to Private Messages, and not on the public threads. We will warn posters whose posts are one-on-one and runs like a YM conversation.

10. Be truthful, and mindful of what you post. If you want to earn the respect and trust of the members, as much as possible, state facts and figures, to prove your post. Do not post only because you want to look 'cool' because of a story you just made up.

11. Everyone has the right to tell each and everyone about these rules - we won't brand you as 'feeling mods', but moderators will still be the verdict for decisions. Moderators will warn you properly if you break one of the rules. Second, or third time, you will or may be sanctioned for banning.

12. Please observe the Signature Rules and Guidelines.
