This forum is intended for TRANSIMS users. There is a separate group forum for TRANSIMS developers.

Guidelines:

1. First, do a search to see if your question has already been answered.

2. When creating a post or response, please do the following:

a. Remember that this forum is aimed at general users and all posts become public.

b. Post in a way that is respectful of others. Flamers will be warned and their posts removed.

c. Respect others copyrights and bandwidth. Although attachments are allowed, they should be kept small.

d. Use an appropriate, descriptive title when posting a new topic. Examples of bad titles include: "Help me!", "I'm stuck!", "I've got an error!", etc. Examples of good titles include: "Unable to run the Router", "Cannot open the Input_Shape file", etc. If your problem is with running a specific TRANSIMS program, please include the exact name of the program. This will help others with similar problems in their searches.

3. Please use your business contact information. This is a non-government website, and all postings are released into the public domain, so do not submit anything you do not wish to be broadcast to the general public. To protect your own privacy and the privacy of others, please do not include personal (home) contact information or other personally identifiable information in the body of your posting.

4. Postings in this forum are solely the professional opinions of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the author’s business or government organization.

5. Do not post or re-post a message excessively, especially unsolicited advertisements, even if they are related to the purpose of the site. Advertising of any kind, including non-profit organizations, is not permitted.

6. Do not post any copyrighted material to the site, without written permission of the copyright owner.

7. Personal attacks, defamatory, pornographic or other offensive text is not tolerated. We will not tolerate such postings, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offense. Users will be warned and their post removed.

8. The forum moderators reserve the right to remove any post at any time. The determination of what is construed as indecent, vulgar, spam, etc. as noted in these points is up to the moderators and not users.

9. Users must realize that the site administrators do not have detailed control over what is posted, as they cannot review every message before it reaches the list.

10. Users violating these guidelines will, depending on the severity of the violation, be warned, placed on moderation, or will have their membership canceled.
