Welcome to Summit Language Institute’s ESL forums! Here are a few rules to help make these forums a comfortable place for people to discuss about ESL and learning English.
- Treat others with respect. Do not insult, harass, or threaten others. This includes abuse of email and/or private messages (PM).
- Do not use profanity or other offensive language. Do not post anything that would embarrass your mother or grandmother.
- Please do not spam. Do not write off-topic posts, and do not post more than one time in a row before getting a reply – if necessary, you can edit your post instead.
- Do not cross-post under multiple topics.
- A forum is not a chat. If you want to talk with one person, you can send him a private message (PM).
- A forum is a community. Users who join for the sole purpose of self-promotion or advertising job openings, etc. will lose posting privileges.
- Do not post copyrighted materials, including pictures and music. Brief selections are allowed for educational purposes, but not complete articles. If you want to refer to an article, quote a brief selection and add a link. Name your sources, and give the URL if applicable. Posts that violate copyright will be removed without notice.
- Do not post links to illegal sites or illegal materials.
- Do not “hotlink” pictures.
- Do not advertise your own sites in the forums. You can put the address of your website in your profile and/or signature, but do not post solely as a means to advertise yourself.
If you have any questions about these rules, please PM me
