Pinoy AU Info – Forum Etiquette
We’re here to help each other. These guidelines keep our community helpful, respectful, and safe for everyone.
📝 Posting & Titles
- Search first. Check if your question has already been asked before starting a new thread.
- Use clear titles. Make your thread titles descriptive so others know what it’s about.
- Stay on topic. Keep discussions focused on the subject of the thread.
- Avoid cross-posting. Don’t post the same question in multiple threads or forums.
- Keep it concise. Write clearly and avoid unnecessary rambling.
🙌 Community Spirit
- Be respectful and civil. Disagree politely; no personal attacks or insults.
- Help others too. Share what you know—our community grows stronger when we give back.
- Welcome newcomers. Don’t chastise newbies; offer guidance instead.
- Use a friendly tone. Avoid ALL-CAPS (shouting) and limit exclamation marks.
- Humor with care. Remember that posts are read by people of all ages and backgrounds.
📢 Content & Replies
- No unrelated promotions. Advertising your product or service is allowed only if it’s related to Australia/Philippine migration and approved by the admin. (We may remove posts that feel like spam or off-topic.)
- Quote only what’s needed. When replying, trim long quotes to keep threads easy to follow.
- Don’t hijack threads. Avoid adding unrelated problems or turning a public thread into a private chat.
- Avoid double-posting. Edit your original post if you need to add something.
- Avoid click-bait subjects. Don’t use words like “URGENT” or “IMPORTANT” in titles—be patient for replies.
🔒 Privacy & Safety
- Protect your privacy. Don’t share personal information such as phone numbers, addresses, or anything you wouldn’t want public.
- Respect copyrights. Share only content you own or have permission to post.
- Report spam or abuse. Use the “Report” function or alert the Admin instead of engaging with spammers.
- Signatures should be modest. Keep them short and non-intrusive; large or distracting signatures may be removed.
🌟 Final Reminder
Be kind. Be helpful. Be patient.
This forum exists to support one another—especially those navigating migration and settling into life in Australia.
