BASIC RULES
1.1) Be kind, friendly, and respectful to others - The Golden Rule. Treat others as you want to be treated. This applies to seasoned members as much as it does to new members! Avoid "jumping on" members about mistakes. Always be positive and encouraging, and make use of smileys. Your goal should be to teach, not to chastise or scold. Read all replies to a topic before answering a topic to ensure you are clear about the context. You are encouraged to "Like" a reply you agree with to show your support. Do not "form a tag-team" with other members to put pressure on another member whom you do not agree with. Let's create an environment that is conducive to learning and sharing knowledge.
1.2) Keep it family friendly - GTA SA-MP 1 MALAYSIA is a forum that caters to all ages. We have plenty of adult members, but there are also younger children here as well. As such, everything on the forum should be G-rated. Foul language, crude words, or words that even insinuate swearing are not permitted, as it has no place in polite conversation. There's no real reason to discuss adult topics such as sex or drug use on a GTA SA-MP 1 MALAYSIA forum. It is acceptable to use anatomical terms when discussing
