What to do if you see someone going against the User Agreement?

If you spot an offending post or someone that goes against the User Agreement, below are a few reminders:

1) Do not feed the trolls - Trolls exist to create unrest and garner attention from everyone. Giving them attention will only prove that they are successful in whatever they are doing.

2) Do not flame back - If a member is flaming you, do not reply with a flame as this will only result in conflict which is unhealthy for our forum discussions.

3) Use the Ignore Feature - You may choose to put members in your ignore list so that you will not see his or her posts as you speak your mind in peace. You can access your Ignore List by going to Account Settings --> Edit Profile --> Buddy/Ignore List

Remember the quote beside the quick reply area: You are what you post. Please remember that posting in PinoyExchange is very powerful. Thousands of people can read your message. What you post on PEx says a lot about who you are, your education and upbringing.

Your posts speak a lot about you and at some level, the university you came from as well.
