13. All members of ausmini should have a location in their profile. This will stop confusion, especially when posting for sales and/or assistance.

14. Posting pictures requires the pictures to be no wider than 600 pixels. This will keep the time for viewing down, and will also keep the browser frames intact so you don't have to scroll across to read a post. If the picture is bigger, please post the link rather than having the image in image tags. A better option is post smaller thumbnails which link to the full size image.

16. All for sale advertisements will include a price or will be deleted. No "What are these worth" threads in the discussion forums as Expressions of Interest (EOIs) may be places in the appropriate Trading Post room.

No price lists, no repeated posts. if in doubt, contact an administrator.

17. We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates the forum rules, as access to any forum is a privilege and not a right.

Play nice people , just because another persons mini isn't your preference doesn't give you the right to insult it .
