Hi all,
In order to keep the forum clear, friendly and useful, we invite you to follow these guidelines. They have been made to help you in using the forum.
FIRST STEPS ON THE FORUM:
> Before writing, we invite you to have a look at the previous threads to make sure your topic wasnÂ’t already covered.
> When starting a new thread, select its title wisely: the clearer it is, the more answers you will receive.
> Ask one question at a time: it would be easier for the other members to answer. Of course, you can post other questions later.
>Do not forget to introduce yourself: it will help to give you a personalized answer and it will be much more pleasant.
> Please respect the topic categories: avoid going off-topic and feel free to create a new thread to talk about a new topic.
> Avoid posting personal details, such as your phone number, email address or Skype contact, on a public forum. The ½ûÂþÌìÌà team will remove these details for your safety.
> For any question related to the use of the website or for a technical problem, please use our contact form.
LANGUAGE:
For better understanding and interaction with the other members, we invite you to post your messages in English. If you want to post in French, we invite you to participate on the Egypt French speaking forum; for your posts in Spanish, kindly use the Egypt Hispanic forum and the Egypt Italian speaking forum for your posts in Italian.
Make sure to write correctly and clearly on the forum so that everyone can understand: avoid cap locks and SMS language.
JOBS AND HOUSING SECTIONS:
If you want to post a job offer or if you are looking for a job, please post on the Egypt Jobs section.
If you are looking for an accommodation or want to offer one, please go to the Egypt Housing section.
ADVERTISING:
The forum is not aimed at helping you to promote your company and products. If your thread is of a commercial nature, please use the dedicated sections: we invite you to register in the Egypt Business directory or to have a look at our Advertising page.
The forum canÂ’t be used to promote external groups or organizations. Should you want to organize gatherings/activities with the other members, kindly get in touch with us: we would be pleased to help you.
OPINIONS:
The entire concept of this forum is to promote the free exchange of information and ideas. Therefore, everyone has a fundamental right to form and express their own opinions, provided that they comply with the terms of use of the website. However, it is not acceptable to criticize or abuse another member in any way for simply expressing their opinion or making a personal observation. If you find the opinion expressed offensive you should not take matters into your own hands nor should you make any abusive comments: please use the Report button so that we manage the issue.
The ½ûÂþÌìÌà forum is dedicated to expat related matters. Topics related to politics or religion wonÂ’t be accepted.
The moderation team reserves the right to intervene if necessary.
DATING:
Please keep in mind that ½ûÂþÌìÌà is not a dating or matchmaking service. Do not post forum topics either seeking or offering a romantic relationship.
ABUSIVE OR INAPPROPRIATE POSTINGS:
Any postings deemed to be abusive, offensive or obscene will be immediately removed. If you find a posting offensive or inappropriate please report it by clicking on the Report button which appears at the bottom right hand corner of the posting. To know more about our criteria, we invite you to have a look at our Terms and Conditions.
The forum code of conduct may be subject to changes. We invite you to check it regularly.
Good luck for all!

re: your comment above: "Good luck for what" and elsewhere: "Come on !"

Bellabreane,
on your topic, find one of the comments by the troll and click the"report" option. Fill in the reason and send.
a team member will deal with the troll accordingly.
the team are discreet and you will not receive any notification or anything......like I said, they are very discreet. I have reported several"unpleasantries". Don't worry about it, just do it.

Sure, sounds easy enough, to bad though that most of these Egyptian men don't abide by this rule! The number of times a had to report and/or block people here (or for that matter fb and twitter etc.) is innumerable! #whatiswrongwithegyptianmen
Hi Samira,
While topic postings are public for all to see, and thus will be seen by moderators sooner or later it's always better to report them. Since the report will immediately pop up on the moderator's screen for quicker attention.
The private message system is quite different however, since nobody sees your messages but you. If you receive a private message that is objectionable in any way it is absolutely critical that you use the ACTION button (that appears on the "Conversation with XXXXXX" line) and click on REPORT, fill out the information in the drop-down window and click OK. This will send a copy of the conversation string and your report to the immediate attention of someone on TEAM. Your complaint will be analyzed and the appropriate action will be taken. This can range from a warning, to temporary ban or a permanent ban of the offending member.
Cheers,
William James Woodward, EB Experts Team
Thank you
You are true...
very clear...nice work
Since joining I've been inundated with men wanting to know about my personal life in the guise of finding out information. As explained above it's not a dating site so please do not spam me I get enough of that on Facebook and this I thought was for expats to Egypt not locals looking for a connection? Just saying it gets very boring!
@fagkorigjr I agree with you 100%. I regretted joining almost immediately. It's pretty gross. I entered looking for a specialized doctor regarding a medical condition. And soon enough, men were sending messages and getting weird. If I wanted to join a dating site I would have! I was disappointed and I was not expecting it at all. I wonder if the men get harrassed the same way? I don't think so. Thank you for sharing this and I hope that the message is loud and clear now- for members to respect the guidelines and
abide by this code of conduct.
