  1. PersianHub Policy: Please do not post any messages conflicting with the websites policy. Check the following thread for more info regarding the PH Policy PersianHub Policy


  2. Search: Search the threads before starting a new thread there is always the possibility that someone else has had the same or similar problem like yours and might have gotten an answer for it.



  3. No off topic posts: This is a help section not a chat room therefore no off topic posts are allowed



  4. No redundant posts: Any post that are of no use either to the thread topic or the forum as a whole these post may be any of the following:





    • Replying with "I don't know and I can't help you" no one specially the person asking for help is interested in your lack of knowledge of the problem at hand, so if you can't help and don't know how to help then please don't help.



    • Replying 1 or 2 word posts or post with only smiley’s which are irrelevant to the topic at hand.


    • Posting a whole page of emotions in the thread. 1 = 100 The point of the smiley is to let the other person know what your expression is therefore there is no difference with posing 1 smiley or a 100, plus filing the page with smileys beside the fact that they are incredibly annoying specially in the Help section they also put pressure on the database and produce redundancy for both the server and the users this is a forum for EVERYONE not just you alone.






We reserve the right to delete any offtopic/redundant posts in any thread in the GCD section without any notice




  1. Software: Try not to post software directly from other websites without their permission this will produce issues with other websites and webmasters - If someone is in need of a software try uploading the softwares on file hosting websites (such as http://qfile.de/ or YouSendIt - Send large files - transfer delivery - FTP Replacement) or your own ftp servers or websites and provide the correct link. If you can't to this feel free to either PM or e-mail the moderators or the operators of the website.


  2. Clean Threads: Try to keep the Help section threads as clean as possible, having a clean and light thread will help with a better reference in the future for example if someone else in the future has a similar question the old threads can be used as a reference it would be much nicer if you can tell someone to read the first page of the given thread and not the 12th page.



  3. The DO's and DONT's of posting a new thread in the GCD section:










DO's




  • Provide clear and readable information regarding the problem in the Subject line of the thread


  • Provide full information about the problem you are having if it is a computer problem (software/hardware) provide full detail Information about your system and applications



  • When you post a new thread at least give it a 1 to 2 day chance for people to reply Don't post a reply right after you post a thread DEMANDING for help and swearing at people, no one here is getting paid to answer your questions the ones that do answer are doing this because of their generosity so please have some respect for the other members.



  • State your problems clearly, if you can:





    • Provide screen shots

    • State a brief history of what you did before and after the problem accrued

    • What type of softwares did you install or uninstall

    • Provide full system information (your Operating system, browser, antivirus, firewall and etc.)








DONT's




  • Do not post threads with nonsense Subjects such as:


    • "Heeeeeeeeeeeelp", "Help Me", "In need of Help", "Please Help" and so on

    Yes we all know you need help that’s why you're posting here, the subject of the threads are there for a reason state you problem in the subject (there is enough space to write a full description of the problem in the subject line)

    Example: A good example would be "Problem Installing Windows XP (Professional) SP2 64-bit"

  • When you start a thread specify your problem clearly with as much information as humanly possible.

    • Post such as "I have a problem there is a thing on my screen saying something which I don't know every time I load this thingy from my desktop" are completely useless if you want to be helped learn to post correctly.
