I can't see any, except the ones I had to agree to when I registered.

Thanks.

^ It's mostly just good old common sense.

Yeah, but common sense isn't that common anymore, is it? Heeheehee

True.

Hijacking a thread is frowned upon. For most of us, that's when a conversation takes place in a thread between two or more posters that should be carried out in emails, PMs or IMs.

wikipedia..

Thread hijacking is the act of trying to steer a web (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web) forum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum) discussion thread off topic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off_topic) by discussing a subject entirely unrelated to the subject at hand.

While this can be an intentional act of trolling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll), it is often accidental - caused by other participants in the discussion responding to a throwaway remark, taking the thread off at a tangent to the original subject matter. The results, whilst sometimes humorous or otherwise interesting, often provoke a feeling of resentment from the author of the original post.

ie: asking about pianos in a guitar thread.
