Simply respect the rights of everyone to have their own opinion and respond according to the rules of good etiquette. The moderator will kill any thread where comments become disrespectful or hateful.This forum exists to support multi-player sessions. As a result of that mission, the following are types of posts which are encouraged and may be expected on this forum.TOPICS (LIMITATIONS) OF THE FORUM

* Tutorials on various aspects of MPS operations
* Relevant shots posted in conjunction with specific questions about MPSKindly try to limit screen shots to ONE per thread except in unusual circumstances. This will help keep thread download speeds at reasonable levels.The moderators reserve the right to delete without explanation any post or thread which is in violation of the prohibited list or not considered to be appropriate. Persistent violators will be reported to the forum owner for consequences appropriate to the actions of the perpetrator. The moderators are the sole determiners of what is and is not acceptable, permissible, or appropriate. Questions or concerns should be directed to the forum moderators for clarification. Let's have a good time here and show how much fun we can have with Train Simulator and a group of train-buffs working together!
