Education and Teaching / Section Information
« on: August 29, 2009, 02:10:28 AM »
The "Open Forum: Education and Teaching in the Philippines" aims to help find ways to develop a better-taught, much better-educated Philippine citizenry. It invites members of the Forum to post their opinions, perceptions, ideas, observations, suggestions, and experiences about education and teaching in the Philippines; they are also encouraged to invite associates and friends to post their views and join the running discussions.

There is no firm limit to the length of postings in this open forum, but to keep the discussions manageable, a range of 100 to 1,500 words is suggested. Postings should be confined largely to your own views, knowledge, and experience; if you need to cite long references or background material on the web, just send the links to us and the Forum webmaster will take care of setting up the links with the sites you indicate.

While openness is encouraged when giving your views, please keep the discussions in the open forum civil at all times. The open forum will be closely moderated, and postings with abusive or vituperative language will be stricken off outright.

Let’s keep our goal for this open forum always in sight: a well-taught, much better-educated Philippine citizenry.

See you at the open forum!

In this section, new users can post their personal introductions, to help get themselves acknowledged by the community.

Guidelines:

  • Create a topic with any form of greeting. Something like "hey!" or, "hi everyone!" would be okay.
  • Give a short intro on yourself. Write about why or how you came to find the forum. No need to tell us your life story, but if you want to, no one's stopping you.  :D
  • It doesn't have to be in perfect English. That's why we're here, right?  ;)
  • Keep it clean. No profanity, no dirty stuff.
  • To all existing members: try to greet our new members warmly. Hit the nice 'Reply' button at the bottom of their posts to give them a welcoming message.

I hope you all enjoy getting to know each other.  ;D

I apologize for my oversight. I'll try to avoid those kinds of errors in the future.

Site Announcements / Site Advisory - 06/09/09
« on: June 09, 2009, 07:17:48 AM »
Recently, there have been a wave of posts in the "Use and Misuse" section of the forum that appear to be advertising. Worse, there were also ones related to adult material.

These are automated spam bot messages. Please bear with us as we try to monitor and try to find a solution for this.

Thank you for your patience.

Our site's web host is currently experiencing a DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) attack. The attack has debilitated the servers, so users may experience extreme slowdown to complete denial of access.

Our host's administrator is looking into the problem. We apologize for any inconvenience, and kindly ask for your continued patience.

Update: The site is back online 100%. Thank you for your patience.

Alrighty. I was composing this message right before I went to sleep, so it was a bit rushed.

In this board, you may post any concerns or issues relating to the website or forum.

Posting Guidelines:

  • Create a separate topic for your issue. If you are experiencing multiple technical problems at the same time, consolidate them into one topic.
  • Label your topic accordingly. "Problem with X Feature" is preferred over "NOTHING WORKS". And no, all-caps doesn't help in getting the topic noticed.
  • Describe your problem with details. "X feature doesn't work" is fine...but "X feature doesn't work when I try using it. I'm using Firefox 3.0 running on Windows XP" is even better and gets results faster.
  • If anyone (even non-administrators) knows of a solution to a particular problem, feel free to reply to the topic with the answer.

Thank you for your post. However, may I request that you post this message to the "Badly Written, Badly Spoken" section instead so that it will form a thread with its own subject?

Also, it appears that the picture you included is broken in some way. Perhaps it was simply copied incorrectly?

Thank you.
