These rules are disclosed to clarify the various responsibilities of all community members here on EasyList Forum. They shall be adhered to by everyone to ensure that our board runs smoothly and provides a fun and productive experience for all of our community members and visitors.

  1. Participation

    1. Create a new topic titled SiteName.COM in the appropriate forum.

      • List Subscriptions you're using and Custom Filters (some of known trusted subscriptions)
      • Browser Name / Version
      • Operating System Name / Version
      • Others installed Extensions / Version - (to avoid conflicts, ensure you're running ONLY one Ad Blocker).
      #
    3. If necessary, you can submit an Adblock Plus issue report or post screenshot of uBlock₀ the logger. #
    4. You can also submit your proposal for new or improved filters related to the problem. #
    5. If you're a website owner that has been specifically targeted, fix your site before reporting any bugs.
      Remove revolving ad servers/scripts, popup ads and any anti-adblock measures etc.
      Only then your request will be reviewed. #
    6. Failure to provide the necessary information will delay the resolution of your issue. #
  2. Bumping

    1. Posts with nothing but the word "bump" will be removed. The user will be warned and dealt according to our etiquette. #
    2. If you need to bump your topic, think of something to say other then bump.
      If you can't think of anything to say to contribute to the topic, then don't say anything at all. #
    3. Bumps will be allowed only after a 7 day period and there is a PHPBB imposed limit of one bump per post in the thread.
      What this means is until someone else posts in the thread no bumps will be allowed.
      #
    4. Threads older than 1 year are locked automatically. Something that old is probably no longer relevant. #
