Last revised: 15th May 2009

 

Above list is by no means exhaustive and is subjected to changes without prior notice.

In most cases, the moderators' decision is final and no correspondence will be entertained.

The rules may appear to be very strict, but ultimately the rules are here to protect our own members.

It is to encourage responsible posting by our members.

Nobody likes to be in a forum where unnecessary flame wars rage daily like some other forums.

SBF Management reserves the right to amend the forum rules at our own discretion.

 

If a thread is deemed to be closed/deleted in error, kindly inform the respective moderator(s) of that section via Private Message (PM).
