applei.ph Site Manifesto

This site envisions to cater to all your iPhone and iPod Touch needs. The goal of this site is to provide you with the most comprehensive resource for everything iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as provide an avenue where members may help one another in resolving and troubleshooting their iPhone and iPod Touch issues.

Like every other community site, the spirit of this place will be borne from the active participation of each and every one of us. In this regard, our site will be governed by three fundamental principles:

1 Love thy iPhone. (and iPod Touch)
2 Respect your peers.
3 Obey the law.

These three principles will be our guideposts in everything we do, say, and post here. These principles ensure that our site will be a place where we could all share our resources, discoveries, insights, and shared passion in a friendly and enjoyable way.

Everybody is welcome to be part of the community, Filipinos and non-Filipinos alike. We only ask that you comply with the three principles mentioned, in your stay here, as well as the other rules and guidelines we have set in accordance with these principles.

The applei.ph team is here to help out the best we can, but ultimately, applei.ph is all of us. We look forward to stories of appleites helping each other out with their iPhone / iPod Touch problems.

Live Chat Guidelines

These are the Rules and Guidelines for everyone's compliance when using the Live Chat feature of applei.ph

1) ABSOLUTELY NO OBSCENITY, ILLEGAL MATTERS, IMMORALITY, RUMOR MONGERING, INSENSITIVE TALK, AND DISRESPECT (specially to women). Let us keep the Live Chat and the site a decent and respectable place.

2) NO INTERRUPTION OF ONGOING ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATIONS/GUIDING/HELPING OUT. When someone is guiding someone, refrain from interrupting UNLESS the instructions are CLEARLY WRONG. Imagine that they are having a conversation between the two of them in real life. Only step in politely when there is a real need to clarify/correct things.

3) WATCH YOUR WORDS AND DO NOT HUMILIATE ANYONE. Whether it be a member, a non-member, ANYONE. Everyone should read the applei manifesto. One of the principles of this site is "Respect your Peers".

4) USE OF THE LIVECHAT TO CONTRAVENE THE ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY ON CRACKS FOR IPHONE APPS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Do not do in the LiveChat what you are forbidden to do in the forums. We will be implementing this strictly. Solicitation or sharing of cracks in the LC will not be tolerated.

5) SEARCH THE FORUMS FIRST BEFORE ASKING IN THE LIVECHAT. 90% of your questions have already been answered in the forums. Use it wisely to your advantage. The Search Bar is there for a reason. It tires everyone when people keep asking the same questions already answered in the forums.

6) AVOID USING TEXT LINGGO IN THE LIVECHAT. It is quite difficult to understand you if you spell words in text linggo, specially if you're asking for help. Please make it easy for us also to comprehend you better so that we may be able to assist you as quickly as possible.

NOTE: Using Tagalog is not prohibited in the LiveChat. However, English is highly recommended as we also have non-Filipino members from around the world, and they might have a difficult time understanding us, should we continue to use a language foreign to them.

7) NO HOGGING OF THE LIVECHAT. Members are strictly prohibited from flooding the LiveChat. Do not repeat your posts. Do not post in installments and do not post really long posts.

Everyone is also encouraged to use YM or other IM applications when you need to one-on-one someone in guiding him through a help / troubleshooting session. This ensures that the LiveChat will still be usable for other members and that your one-on-one session will be uninterrupted.

8) TALK PROPERLY. We are a very sophisticated & well-mannered community, and we would like to keep it that way.

9) NO SELLING OR OFFERING PAID SERVICES ON THE LIVECHAT. This website is for sharing information and helping others, not selling stuff.

The team is hoping for everyone's cooperation in ensuring the quality, enjoyability, and respectability of the site. Thank You.

Note:
1st Violation - Light Warning
2nd Violation - Stern Warning
