Welcome on the Romanian Forum on SkyscraperCity! I'll present you a set of rules and recommendations we play by here, so we can avoid future problems. By registering and participating in the forum you agree with all of the following.
First and foremost, you have to abide by SSC's forum-wide rules (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=179332) of which I'd like to emphasize the following:
Profanity towards other members will not be tolerated.
No spamming; multiple topics will be deleted/merged.
No inciting hatred or violence.
Multiple accounts are forbidden.
Racist posts are a serious offense and will be severely answered to. This does not include nations.
Homophobic posts will be treated the same way as racist ones.
Do not create an account presenting you with a different nationality in order to start flame wars.
Post in the right forum, continued posting in wrong forums will be considered spamming.
Local rules
Xenophobic or ultra nationalist posts have no place here, so please keep this kind of opinions to yourselves. I can't emphasize this enough.
Posts bashing Gypsies, Hungarians or other minorities will not be tolerated.
Be respectful to our Bulgarian, Serb, Hungarian, Ukrainian and Moldovan neighbours that post here, as well as any other foreigners.
We have a thread for off-topic discussions - Nebuniile nebunului. Use it to discuss anything (provided you're not breaching the rules) and refrain from opening other off-topic threads.
Political threads are allowed only for elections and will be closed soon after the final results of the elections are made public.
Discussions about separatism and related propaganda are strictly forbidden.
Rules regarding user signatures
Signature lines may be up to 5 lines of default sized (vBulletin size 2) text, spaces included or up to 3 lines of vBulletin size 3 text, spaces included.
No text over vBulletin size 3 is allowed, even if your signature line uses only one line.
Signature lines can't contain nationalistic, combative, racist or any other kind of commentary which may offend other users.
Members are not permitted to quote other members in their signatures for any reason.
Recommendations
As decided by voting (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=615851), the main language we use here is English. I urge you to keep Romanian to a minimum (except on Nebuniile nebunului) if you have decent command of the English language. Remember that SSC is an international community and we have a lot of foreigners visiting.
Try not to post several posts in a row. Instead of creating a new post, edit the previous one.
Do not use loads of emoticons in your posts as it creates visual clutter which can be very annoying.
Whether writing in Romanian or English, make sure what you write is easily understood by others. No l33t talk!
When posting pictures, please take your time to upload them to a service such as ImageShack (http://imageshack.us/) or TinyPic (http://tinypic.com/) and link them from there. Do not hotlink (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotlink) from other sites!
When possible, credit your source, be it for an article you quoted, or a a picture you posted. Include a link to the original source, especially in the case of articles.
Always credit pictures taken from Flickr, Panoramio, Airliners.net etc.
Do not post pictures larger than 800x600 unless you really have to.
Refrain from using a large font size and/or use too many colors in your posts. Again - visual clutter.
If you have any problem with your account, please contact me or any other staff member and do not make additional accounts. Multiple accounts are not allowed and you'll be banned.
