Please do not attempt to mask these words with symbols or substitute words (this includes the disrespectful use of the word Shiite which is a religious sect). If the word is masked and still understood, then you broke the rules just the same. All violations will be removed could result in the downgrade or termination of your account.

5. Discussions about other dinar traders/websites are only permitted in the Dealer Discussion Forum - Please do not discuss dealers outside of the Dealer Forum.

7. Do not create entire new threads to invite specific user(s) to post - No need for threads such as "Yo Jack please answer" or "John Dinar, what do you think?". This is why the PM system exists. If the user wants to post, they will.
8. Give your threads a relevant title - Threads titled "Very interesting" are not good. Try to give your thread a descriptive title.

10. Ebay listings may only be posted in the Ebay Listings Forum - Please see forum for more details. You may not sell dinar on this forum, except through an Ebay listing.
11. ADVERTISING your commercial Enterprise is not allowed - We cannot and will not let this forum become a spam engine.
12. Do not post full names, e-mails - telephone # - and physical addresses. Read More advice about privacy and our privacy policy. I would like to clarify that APOs and or the disclosure of whereabouts of any person in the middle east is forbidden for security reasons.

14. DO NOT POST entire articles, webpages, newsletters -
15. The general rule of 33% of the article is the most that should be posted. This usually means ONLY A FEW SENTENCES or paragraphs of the article and the link.
16. Always provide a link to the source of the content.
17. Feel free to pick and choose the most relevant statements, sentences, or paragraphs, but not the whole article.
18. Translations, public documents (ie. gov't) and official press releases are EXCLUDED from this rule. These may be posted in their entirety.
19. When in doubt, you can either ask the Admins, or apply the 33% rule.
20. Violations will be removed and repeat offenders may lose some posting privileges.
21. Use the Private Messaging function for extended one-on-one, more personal conversations - We want to make it easy for everyone to read through threads to get the info they desire, without having to sift throughpages of personal talk back and forth between only one or two members. This way, more people will continue to re-visit the forum assuring us we will continue obtaining all the up-to-date info.
22. Abuse of Private Messaging (PM) will result in an indefinite ban - Abuse includes spam, mass commercial advertising, fraud, and any illegal activity. Users are urged to report such abuses to any of the moderators. DO NOT SOLICIT MEMBERS TO PM YOU FOR INFORMATION EITHER. THIS IS REVERSE SPAM AND IS UNACCEPTABLE.
23. Do not register and use multiple usernames - Deceiving the forum members by using multiple usernames is prohibited.
24. General decency - We deserve the right to determine what is decent and what will be permitted on this forum. It would be impossible to list specifically every indecent topic.

Although the administrators and moderators of Foro Irak will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and neither the owners of Foro Irak, nor Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd. (developers of vBulletin) will be held responsible for the content of any message.

By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.

The owners of Foro Irak reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.
