- BE RESPECTFUL! We are all here because of our love of all things horology. We strive to have a community that is built on being a helpful and a safe place for all enthusiasts to come together. No direct or indirect personal attacks or insults will be allowed. Posts that antagonize, belittle or humiliate others will not be tolerated. This applies to all areas of the site; posts, profile visitor messages, private messages, etc. Please report any posts that do not follow this rule.
- SEARCH! This forum will accumulate a great wealth of knowledge over time. Many of the most common questions will have been asked and answered at least once. The forum software utilizing a great search engine that can be easily customized to search for exactly what you want. If you have exhausted the search feature, then go ahead and post a new thread with your question.
- BE HELPFUL. Just like we ask new members to search, we also ask veteran members to help out with questions and issues that are posted. No one has all the answers so there will be a time that everyone needs help with one issue or the other.
- DISAGREEMENTS ARE FINE, BUT DO NOT ATTACK. With this hobby, they’re will be those that don’t have the same opinion as you. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and forcing your opinion onto those that don’t agree with you will not get them to change your mind. Here at Horology Board, we welcome debate, but do it professionally and politely.
- NO NSFW AVATARS OR SIGNATURES. The one thing we want is for everyone to feel comfortable coming to this site. If you wouldn’t want your boss, wife, girlfriend, mom, daughter, sister, brother, son, etc. seeing the picture, then it probably shouldn’t be used. Moderators reserve the right to edit/delete avatars or signatures that break this rule.

- POST IN THE CORRECT FORUM. There are Sections and Sub Forums created for several different catagories. Please use them. Moderators reserve the right to close or move threads that are posted in the wrong section.
