Going back to the days not too long after first earning this certification myself, I started moderating the largest CCNA related group on Facebook. I still take as much pride in keeping this group free of advertising, cheating, and every other spam post that someone wants to post prominently on the groups page. WIth that said, I’m keeping a copy of the official rules here should the unthinkable happen to the list over there.
The group references an actual FAQ, however that was written years ago and it’s probably no longer grounded in current reality, so I’ll be recompiling that in the upcoming days. Stay tuned if you’re looking for that.
1.This is a network for the network associate. All legitimate things CCNA related, as well as most other I.T. topics may be discussed here.
2.Things that may not be discussed here include (but is not limited to): Brain-dumps, any other form of copyright infringement, any illegal activity, spam, politics, religion, and personal attacks. It doesn’t matter if it’s legal where you live, Facebook is an American website. If you like a post, that is considered the same as if you posted it yourself.
3.If certguard.com says it’s a dump, then it’s a dump and this isn’t open to negotiation.
4.Do not post homework questions with the expectation that the answers will just be provided. We are willing to help if you don’t understand something, but this group isn’t here to just do it for you.
5.The admins, and only the admins, will decide and enforce the rules.
6.Not knowing is no excuse. You shouldn’t be posting anywhere on the Internet if you don’t know the rules. Violators of any rule are subject to immediate banning.
7. No new accounts. No offense to anyone, it’s just that accounts newer than 30 days are where the majority of spam comes from. If you get turned away for this, feel free to try again later.
8. No one word answers. If you can’t explain why the answer is d, then you don’t need to be the 15th person saying d. Contribute something meaningful to the conversation.
9. Don’t try to add people to the group. Nobody gets in without an admin’s approval, and I do not approve anyone who did not join on their own.
10. Read the thread before commenting on it. This would save so many people from looking ridiculous.
