Spamming

Flaming

It's only applicable if your post is in the right forum., but then the rules in that certain thread should be followed.

Arguing and 'ranting'

- We deeply advise our members not to interact in one-to-one disagreements, arguments or disputes of personal nature. Neither should engage in 'ranting' - trust me. It is a never ending headache, and you'd only be infuriated by these aggressive acts, which add little or nothing to the corresponding topic or question posted. They aren't also welcomed to our forum. All posts should be professional and courteous. You have every right to disagree with your fellow community members and explain your perspective.
However, you are not free to attack, degrade, insult, or otherwise belittle them or the quality of this community. It does not matter what title or power you hold in these forums, you are expected to obey this rule.

Abusing the moderators

If you are abusive in any form of contact with our staff, or direct abuse at a moderator in a thread, then TNMMA will issue an infraction as we deem appropriate measure against your act. It will be left to individual moderators to decide if they feel they have been offended in any way. Tambayan ng mga Addicts Admins will also investigate any infraction issued for abusing the mods.
