Suggestions:

Please read these carefully:

1. As this is an international forum, it is expected that your posts would be in english.

2. Everyone are requested to use full words while typing. l33t Sp34k typing style is discouraged.
Also, It is suggested not to use SMS style like, "hi, h r u, um fyn. nyc 2 meet ya", type.

3. Use topic title that gives a general idea about the topic. For example: do not use
titles like "need help!", "no graphics". Instead write "widows won't start", "shutdown is taking too
much time in windows".

4. It is also suggested that If you are not able to understand any
part of this post, raise questions under this post, (click on "reply") or ask me personally.

5. If you see any posts in the inappropriate section, please report this.

6. If you notice any forum rules violation, please report this to authority.

7. Avoid unnecessary use of colours, images or emoticons. The forum has a personalized theme setter. Custom coloured text might become invisible in some other themes.

8. If you are giving a solution or tutorial that is not your own, please add the link of the site from where you are giving it.
This also implies in case of any news.

9. Your replies should be constructive, so that the poster would be inspired. Instead of just using emoticons, give feedback.

10. While asking for help, give as much detail explanation of the problem as you can.

11. If you make a topic asking for a solution, after you get a satisfactory answer, you should edit your title post(your first post in that topic) and use the
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Icon.

12. Using English characters to write Bengali is not appreciated. Please use any Bengali writing software to write Bengali in this forum. If you are not interested in using any software, you can try using the Trivuj Pad.

I think this should go to the IITDU Blog section That's where we discuss official things which needs interaction with our members

i think very few of us would have enough patience to read this 'very short' post and reply.

I have inserted, edited and modified some rules ^_^


edit: Damn it!!

Good work.
Thanks both of you.

I have gone through the whole topic. So, what should I have as a reward of my patience?
Just joking
It's my duty indeed

I have some suggestions. They are given below.

i) Rules about username's topic should be given in such a place where a guest, that means not registered user can see it. Thus he/she can able to make correct decision about username.

ii) usename format for BITans should be added.

iii) Use exam icon if its an exam.

iv) While giving post in Notice Board add BIT01/BIT02 in title that means for whom the notice is.

That's all for now. I will give more feedbacks if I can add some other suggestions

I read that (almost) all. Never thought you can write something so rigorous!!!
