Introduction

The Flyme Forum is specifically designed for users and fans of Flyme. We are committed to providing users with an increasingly favorable online platform for communication, interaction and sharing. Each and every step of progress of the Forum would not be possible without the support and participation of every user. We believe that it is our common goal to maintain an orderly Forum environment and create a good atmosphere together.

WE ADVOCATE:

Compliance with Laws and Regulations
“Nothing can be accomplished without norms or standards.” The Rules aim not to restrict freedom of expression, but to allow freedom to everyone while promoting sustainable development of the Forum. It is recommended that you comply with laws and regulations and carefully express your personal views on subjects that others might find offensive.

Inclusiveness
The sea can hold the water from thousands of rivers and it's so large because of its capacity. An atmosphere of harmony and equality is what we’ve been advocating and seeking to achieve for the Forum. We hope Flyme Fans can be more open-minded, tolerant, and friendly to each other, and work together to build a harmonious cyber community.

Originality
Innovation is not only the life blood for product development, but also the cornerstone for the existence of a community. Only persistent output of content can enable us to go faster and longer.

Passion for OS Development
We can fully demonstrate our personal abilities and tap into the functionality of smartphones OS here, and learn from and share with each other. As long as we stick together, we can witness the infinite possibilities of Flyme OS.

WE REJECT

Conformity
Independent thinking should be essential for each of us, and we should encourage different opinions and attitudes. We should form our own opinions before making a judgment, rather than merely echo others’ views.

Rigidity
Ours is not a place with rigid standards. Everybody can have his/her own favorite products and hold different views; and should discuss matters as they actually are presented instead of attacking each other due to differences.

Excessive Ridicule
We welcome reasonable criticisms and suggestions; even occasional mild ridicule causes no harm. But never go to extremes. Unconstructive ridicule and criticism can be disturbing. With a little more understanding and tolerance, we will find life to be so much more pleasant.

Disregard for Copyrights
In an environment lacking any awareness of copyright laws, please allow us to ask a small favor which is that any sharing will be based on the full respect of copyrights so as to allow the creators of the intellectual property to gain their financial rewards.
