Forum Rules for World of IPTV
​

Welcome to World of IPTV! This forum is a community where we share knowledge, experiences, and discussions about IPTV. While we encourage open discussions, there are rules and guidelines to ensure a respectful and productive environment. These rules are categorized into sections for better clarity.

---

1. General Conduct & Community Etiquette​

1.1 Language Policy​

The only language allowed in this forum is English. All posts must be in English. Poorly translated or non-English posts will be removed.

1.2 Respect & Courtesy​

• Attack the message, not the messenger. Disagreements should be focused on ideas, not individuals.
  
  "Attack the message": If you disagree with someone's viewpoint, focus on why their argument is flawed, providing logical reasoning and evidence.
  "Not the messenger": Avoid personal insults, accusations, or attacks against the person making the argument.
  
  Wrong approach (attacking the messenger):
  "You're an idiot for thinking that way!"
  
  Right approach (attacking the message):
  "I disagree with your point because the data suggests otherwise."
  
  
• No personal attacks based on race, gender, religion, ethnicity, or other personal attributes.
• Any public personal attacks, insults, or harassment will lead to warnings and eventual bans.
• Respect the privacy of others. Do not share personal details such as phone numbers, addresses, or pictures without consent.
• Do not spam users with PMs for services, personal contact details, or off-forum discussions.

1.3 No Trolling or Flaming​

• Do not create posts just to provoke others.
• Any offensive, inflammatory, or baiting behavior will result in immediate action.

1.4 No Profanity or Inappropriate Content​

• Keep language clean. Excessive swearing is not tolerated.
• No ****ographic, sexually explicit, or offensive material. Admins and moderators have the final say on content acceptability.

1.5 Fair Participation​

• Each user may only have one account.
• Accounts must be used by one person only—no shared or team accounts.
• Earning likes dishonestly (e.g., hidden empty links) will result in a reset to zero likes.
• Do not ask for likes. Instead, earn them by contributing useful content.

2. Forum Content & Posting Rules​

2.1 Posting Guidelines​

• Use descriptive titles when posting to avoid duplicates and help others understand the topic.
• Post in the correct section based on the topic.
• Before posting, search the forum to avoid duplicate content.
• Any kind of URL and links must be posted as hidden with using BBCodes.
• If your post contains scripts or source code, use BBCodes to format them properly.

• Users violating signature guidelines will be lead to a temporary ban. Failure to comply may lead to a permanent ban.

2.4 No Spam or Useless Content​

• No empty, one-word or one-line replies like “Thanks” or “Nice”! Use the Like button () instead.
• No bumping posts by writing "Up" or similar. Instead, rewrite and resubmit your post if necessary.
• Responding to a thread with an empty message (without a proper reply) is not tolerated.
• It is not allowed to contact the staff team via DM for private support. This will be considered spam.
  All support and technical questions must be posted in the appropriate forum.
