5.3 It is forbidden to mention prices of competitor products and accessories in this forum. If people want to know prices of such articles, then please use private messages to each other. We reserve the right to amend this rule at any time, without giving notice. You may however quote prices on food/drink, recipes, and other general domestic products (kitchenware, household goods etc), that do not directly affect Thermomix and it's accessories.

6.2. Do not write in capital letters (FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE THIS). This is considered the same as shouting, which is not a necessary manner in being heard in this forum.
6.3. Post your messages in the relevant areas of the forum. Placing fish recipes in meat category, or asking help about a technical problem in the deserts area, causes confusion. Categories have been created, in order to cover (as much as possible) all areas which are relevant to Thermomix. If you feel it necessary to create a new recipe category, use the topic Suggestions and Complaints.
6.4. You should not deliberately post messages in the wrong areas, on the basis of thinking that a specific area has a higher volume of traffic and therefore obtaining an answer more rapidly. Messages posted in wrong subject areas will be moved or even removed. It is more probable that you would get a quicker reply if you post your message in the right area.
6.5 Messages published in the forum must have the objective in exchanging information quickly and not starting conversations. Therefore, members should use the alternative channels available in the forum, such as PM (private messages). We even suggest that members share Messenger addresses (or even other messaging solutions), as this allows for long conversations. This allows the forum to remain as a quick and concise solution in exchanging and posting information.

7.4. The nature of some messages may not cause interest to the community in general. Topics that you wish to discuss in private, resolving a misunderstanding etc, are examples of subjects in which the use of the Private Messaging service is more appropriate. If a member sends you a PM, respect his or her privacy by not publishing the content in the public areas (except in the case of both party agreement).
