The rules of BitForo are an essential part of its operation, as they help maintain the community organized and in harmony. 
They are updated regularly to adapt to new situations, so it is advisable to review them from time to time to stay informed and comply with them to the letter. 
The general rules apply in any part of the forum, including private messaging.
Although a single warning will hardly affect a user’s permissions, the accumulation of them may limit or even exclude a user from participating, either temporarily or permanently. 
In addition, topics or messages that violate any rule will be deleted without any backup. Therefore, we recommend saving your messages if they are important or if you have doubts about whether they go against any rule. 
These are the attitudes that can generate a warning:
Meaningless message or topic:
Posting a message or topic that is unrelated to the forum or the topic in question, or that is meaningless. 
Off-topic:
Posting a topic in a section of the forum that does not correspond to its content. 
Message flooding:
Writing a large number of messages in a short time without adding value to the topics, such as thanks, introductions or other messages that do not enrich the community. 
Creating topics to request benefits:
Using the “Say what you want” topic in the Off-topic subforum to request help from users regarding other communities, ask for “likes”, join groups, etc.
