The purpose of this forum is to provide a place for members to discuss learning languages using the FSI courses.  Does that mean that this forum is a place where you can say whatever you want?  No, it does not.

 Here are the guidelines that will be strictly enforced:

  • Personal attacks, harassment or hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated:  criticize ideas, not people.
  • Trolling will not be allowed:  do not make posts that are inflammatory just to annoy people.
  • Do not post pornographic, sexually-offensive, sexually-explicit, or objectionable material.  This includes suggestive images, graphics, and comments.
  • Do not use objectionable language.
  • No religion, no politics.
  • Do not use the forum to discuss pirate copies of language programs.
  • Respect the privacy of others.  Do not post other's phone numbers, addresses, pictures, etc., without their permission.
  • No spamming. No commercial posts or flooding the forum with useless content.
  • No blatant advertising. This forum is not free advertising space.
  • Read previous posts on the same topic before asking a basic question.  Other members do not wish to repeat the same discussions over and over again.
  • Do not double post. One message goes into one sub-forum and only one.
  • Violators will be dealt with, including being banned from the forum.
  • The last rule: The administrators’ best judgment is the final call.  Translation: The administrators can do whatever they want. If they want to delete a post, they can. If they want to lock a topic, they can.  And they will.
