 Dear Persianhub members
Welcome to one of the biggest Persian online communities with a fast growing rate compare to other communities, we as coordinators of this website are proud of getting such nice members like you together.
As we all know this community started in 2003 and now is the biggest Iranian forum ever on the net, we have all been busy with keeping up with you guys and never got the chance to really put up some rules so we all know what’s not allowed on this forum.
We all know freedom of speech is what we Iranians are thirsty for, but that should not cause us to think we could go without limit, freedom like all the other words has its own definition, and its definition is solely depended on the community, situation and type of people getting together.
Therefore PersianHub staff would like to kindly request you all to avoid posting any messages that does fit in one of the following categories.
All the posts that are identified as rule breaking messages will be edited/removed by Operators without prior notice.

1-4 • A question is to be posted in one category only, even if the question can be posted in two different categories. If you wish you have your post moved to another section (if it applies) contact an operator.
