🛠 Forum Rules & Guidelines
Keep it Relevant
Posts should be about ticket machines: historic or modern, mechanical or electronic, fare boxes, ticket printers, validators, smart card readers, etc.
Off-topic posts (e.g. unrelated transport equipment, fare discussions not tied to machines) may be moved or removed.
Photos, Hardware & Technical Content
When posting photos or technical specs, be clear about the make/model and where/when the photo was taken if possible.
Respect copyright: only post images you own or have permission to use.
Proprietary information (like internal schematics) should only be shared if publicly available or you have the right to do so.
Respect & Politeness
Be respectful in your discussions. Disagreement is fine, but personal attacks and insulting language are not permitted.
Help others: if someone asks about an old machine you have info on, consider sharing what you know.
Avoid Spam / Advertising
No unsolicited advertising or linking to sales unless specifically related to ticket machines and approved by admin/moderator.
Stay Secure & Legal
Do not post content that violates laws (e.g. defaced machines, unauthorized repairs) or encourages dangerous behavior.
Protect personal data: don’t post private details or contact info of individuals without consent.
Use the Search Function First
Many topics have been discussed before (e.g. model types, error codes, part replacements). Use search to avoid duplicate threads.
Moderation
Moderators reserve the right to edit, move, or remove content that violates rules.
Repeated or serious violations may lead to warnings or removal from the forum.
