  you choose to ignore this important restriction your account, and any accounts associated with it, will be disabled.
  
• All publicly displayed messages to be in English language, Bahasa Malaysia and Kadazandusun. This includes posts, titles, signatures, and any attachments
  or other forms of public display.
  
• You may not post commission, referral or affiliate links anywhere on the forum.(Except in your signature)
  
• Cross-Posting is not allowed here. Cross-posting refers to posting new duplicate threads or posts, or the linking to threads or posts already started by the member with the intention of gaining exposure.
