2 - Profanity:
Profanity is not tolerated in the board, some words will be censored, also there is to be no name calling, doing so will give you a warning, and then a ban if you continue.
3 - Spam:
Purposely spamming a message board with senseless, vacuous, or empty messages to gain a higher post count, or just to annoy others is HIGHLY frowned upon! Commercial spamming and advertising are just as unwelcome unless it is done in the special designed area. Promoting your site is only allowed with permission of the site owners. Bumping old threads is allowed in the request forums, but needless bumps in other forums will be classed as spam.
4 - Email & Private Message Spam:
If the members are using the private message facility to spam the others with pointless, unsolicited mail they will be banned. If anyone receives one of these messages, please contact an admin immediately.
5 - Piracy, and Warez:
We do not mind discussions about piracy or warez, as long as they are just that...discussions. Linking or giving information about any site that distributes illegal software, or warez, seeking help to circumvent any copyright laws, or encouraging software or media piracy is grounds for an immediate ban.

7 - Off-Topic Posts:
There is no major punishment for off-topic posters. But lets be honest, it drives us all mad!! If you have something to say but it really has nothing to do with the current thread you are in, please open a new thread for it. Otherwise it will just be deleted and won't solve anything at all.
8 - Circumventing a Ban:
If you log onto the forums and receive a message that you have been banned, please submit an unban request and wait for a staff member to get in touch with you. You may NOT re register under a new name if the software lets you. But, if you try to sign up again and we caught you, then it will become a permanent IP Ban.

These issues are left to the discretion of the individual moderators, but may include any material that is knowingly false and or defamatory, misleading, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, that otherwise violates any law, or that encourages conduct constituting a criminal offense.
Mkuu wangu Naniliu,
Ukweli ni kuwa siku za nyuma tulijaribu sana kuwafahamisha members kuwa JF haiendeshwi kwa fedha za watu flani bali kwa kujitolea.
Tukatanabaisha wazi kuwa wanachama na wote wenye mapenzi mema inabidi watambue kuwa tuna mzigo mkubwa wa kubeba kwa niaba yao.
Nyakati hizo tulikuwa na wanachama waliojisajili karibia 2,000 hivi na tukasema endapo kila mwanachama (aliyejisajili) angechangia Tshs 10,000/= basi ilimaanisha kuwa tungepata Tshs 20,000/= ambayo kwa wakati huo ingetosheleza kuiendesha JF kwa karibia mwaka mzima bila wasiwasi.
Maisha yakabadilika, Server tuliyokuwa nayo ilikuwa ndogo sana kumbe kulinganisha na uhitaji wa watanzania, balaa lilionekana wazi Mwezi Februari pale Mhe. Lowassa alipokuwa akijieleza Bungeni... Server ikachemsha kubeba mzigo mkubwa.
Kwa wakati huo tukaona ni vema tukaangalia namna ya kuweza kuwashirikisha wanachama juu ya ugumu tunaokumbana nao... Tukalazimika kununua server kubwa zaidi mbili na zenye back up za kila baada ya masaa 6 kwa nyakati tofauti. Tukiwa na uwezo wa kufanya hosting hata BURE kwa website za watanzania.
Hilo likasaidia japo kwa gharama ambazo zilitoka mfukoni mwa mwanachama mmoja! Ndiyo, kulipia server hizo kila mwezi ni karibia $900 na ameendelea kufanya hivyo kwa imani kuwa kuna siku mambo yataenda sawa.
JF inahitaji SANA michango ya watanzania na wote wenye mapenzi mema.
Kuna wanachama ambao humu mnawaona wana usernames ambazo ni bolded, hawa ni Premium Members. Hawa walau wamechangia kwa kiwango cha kuanzia $5 na wawili walau $300 tangu JF inaanzishwa mwaka 2006 (ikijulikana kama JamboForums).
Tangu JF inaanza (2006) mpaka sasa, tumekwishapokea jumla ya US$ 1,450/= toka kwa wanachama waliojisajili na wasiojisajili.
Wengi wa waliohitaji kuchangia walikuwa wanatuma barua pepe nasi tunawapa maelekezo juu ya namna ya kutufikishia michango hiyo.
Ukweli ni kwamba kwa wasio wanachama wa JF wakiwa wanasoma hapa wanaona matangazo mengi ya Google kuliko wanachama waliojisajili.
Dhamira yetu si kuweka matangazo haya ya Google kwani hayaingizi kwa kiwango kikubwa hivyo, watu hawabonyezi matangazo hayo na hivyo income yake inategemea pale mtu atakapokosea akabonyeza tangazo ndipo tupate vijisenti kidogo kwa clicks hizo. Gharama za uendeshaji bado zinatoka mfukoni mwa mtu mmoja mpaka sasa na baadhi ya Premium Members ambao wameendelea kuona umuhimu wa kufanya hivyo.
Mpaka sasa JF ina wanachama waliojisajili karibia 8,000. Endapo waliojili hawa wangechangia walau Tshs 10,000/= kwa mwaka basi inamaanisha JF ingetengeneza Tshs 80,000,000/= kwa mwaka na hivyo tusingeweka matangazo KABISA na tungejitahidi kupata moderators ambao watakuwa wanalipwa kwa kazi yao na wangeifanya kwa umakini mkubwa zaidi.
Ukiangalia katika historia ya Forums nyingi, huwa zinashindwa kuhimili traffic inapokuwa kubwa kutokana na servers kuhitaji umakini zaidi na Forum owners hujikuta wanaona ni mzigo usio na faida hivyo forums hizo kufa.
Tumshukuru Maxence kwa kuendelea kulipia gharama hizi kila mwezi kwa kujitolea mpaka sasa huku akilipia na Chat Server (IRC Server).
Wapo wanachama kama Ogah, Nyambala, SteveD, FairPlayer, Mchukia Fisadi na Phillemon Mikael ambao huchangia walau kila wanapopata wasaa... Hawa nao wamesaidia kwa kiwango kikubwa katika jitihada za kuhakikisha JF inakuwa hewani. Bila kuwasahau wadau waliochangia walau $200 hivi initially kama Mtanzania, Field Marshal ES na Halisi.
Ninachoamini binafsi ni kitu kimoja, Tshs 5,000/= kwa mwaka inawezekana kabisa kwa watanzania tulio na uwezo wa kuingia mtandaoni. Na uzuri, benki zetu Tanzania zinaruhusu mtu ku-deposit Tshs 5,000/= kama kiwango cha chini.
Endapo kuna mwanachama anaguswa (kutoka moyoni) na angependa kuiwezesha JF kuendelea kusimama imara na kufanya vema zaidi bila mizengwe ya kifedha, basi anaweza kukubali kuchangia Tshs 5,000/= walau kwa mwaka.
Benki zetu (hapa naongelea NBC na CRDB kwa haraka) hazikulazimishi unayetuma hela kuandika jina lako la kweli bali lile ambalo ungependa mpokeaji alitambue.
Kwa walio Tanzania wanaweza kuichangia JF kwa kutuma katika akaunti za NBC au CRDB.
Akaunti ambazo tangu awali tulipendekeza zitumiwe ni za Maxence Melo (as the JF Founder) na tukawaomba wanaotuma waandike Nicks za kuweza kutanabaisha kuwa wao ndio walotuma.
Michango inaweza kutumwa kwa njia kuu nne:
Kwa walio nje wanaweza kutumia PayPal au Credit Cards au Debit Cards kwa kufuata link hii (
https://www.jamiiforums.com/payments.php) iliyo kwenye sahihi yangu (linapoonyesha dole gumba) na pindi mchangiaji anapoweka chochote tunakuwa notified nasi tunafanya kuwasiliana na mhusika ili aweze kupandishwa kwenda katika group la Premium Members.
Njia ya pili ni kutumia Western Union au Money Gram na kutuma kwenda kwa Maxence Melo wa Dar es Salaam.
Njia ya tatu ni kutumia Bank accounts za Maxence kama ifuatavyo:
NBC:
Acc #: 033201064359
Jina: Maxence Melo Mubyazi
CRDB:
Account Name: Maxence Melo Mubyazi
Bank: CRDB Pugu Road Branch
Swift Code: CORUTZTZ
Acc No: 01J2092391800
Njia ya nne ni kwa kutumia email ya
macdemelo@gmail.com
kwenye hii link:

Ikumbukwe, SI LAZIMA kuandika jina lako la kweli na SI LAZIMA kwenda mwenyewe bank kutuma pesa hizo (kwani unaweza kumpa unayemwamini na kumpa account details na jina lako ambalo ungependa aandike).
Tunaweza kuandika mengi lakini ukweli unabakia pale kuwa JF inahitaji michango yenu kwa sana tu.
Kwa wenye maswali zaidi wanaweza kuwasiliana na Maxence kupitia namba yake ya simu +255713444649.
