We feel these guidelines will be useful to provide users a point of reference with which to understand the basic nature of mmr pulse community and also to gauge why a post may have been moderated.

Guidelines: Things we'd rather you did not do:

• Spamming or off-topic material: We don't allow the submission of the same or very similar contributions many times. Please don't re-submit your contribution to more than one discussion, or contribute off-topic material in subject-specific areas.
• Anonymous Sourcing: If you copy and paste an article, piece of news or rumour about a manufacturer/retailer to the forum please include a link to the original website source or explain where and the context of how you heard the story. We discourage unsourced rumour and gossip.
