TWC STAR TEAM Message Boards and Chat Rules

PMing the STAR Team is strictly against the forum rules and regulations. Doing such will result in a warning increase.

-----

From this point forward, please no longer reply to a thread in the Tech Support forum with a response consisting of, or similar in varying to the following:

• "You shouldn't of posted that here."
  
• "Suggestions aren't allowed here."
  
• "That shouldn't of been posted in the Tech Support thread."

etc.

First and foremost, it's been stated by the STAR Team mild suggestions are welcome, though that doesn't mean they will be implemented. Also, it shouldn't be anyone else's job to tell another member what should be posted where. Repeat violators will be issued consequences...no ifs/ands/buts/excuses. This new rule isn't directed towards any one person, but rather towards everyone, as folks have been posting replies like this since the forum was introduced. Thanks!

Let this serve as a reminder... you are not to PM the STAR Team. That goes strictly against their guidelines. They ask you only PM them if something's personal, or it's an "EXTREME" emergency, neither of which should happen very often. Thanks for your cooperation.
