General Rules and Information |
The staff members on the site are the sole enforcers of these rules. Speaking to them with intentional spite will most likely end up with your posts being edited and/or deleted with extreme cases leading to your account being deleted and permanently excluded from the site. If you do not agree with any decision a staff member has made, please send them a private message asking them to explain their decision. If a satisfactory response is not recieved, contact an administrator. Do not post a forum thread about the issue, if one is deemed necessary it will be posted by a staff member explaining the situation. If you have a complaint regarding another user, send a private message to a staff member, or if you have an administrative issue the administrator. These rules are not exhaustive, if you're unsure about what you wish to post, contact a staff member first. Remember that this site is used by computer gamers of all ages. If you have to think about whether or not something is suitable, its probably not. Content deemed inappropriate for the site but not explicitly mentioned on this list is still subject to moderation by a member of staff.
The following topics are not allowed on the site for obvious reasons; Software piracy in any form (including asking for CD keys), Pornography, Racisim, Anti Religious Vulgar language, harassment, derogatory slurs, sexism, and slander will not be tolerated, as will pictures containing inappropriate themes, including but not limited to the items already mentioned. Posting links to other sites that offend or may offend other users will be edited out or their posts deleted, including but not limited to the types mentioned above. Sites expressing hatred towards individuals or groups of users on this site are also strictly forbidden. Intentionally bypassing the language filter in order to post inappropriate content is forbidden, doing so will cause a loss of forum privileges. The filter is there for a reason, dont abuse it. Posting private discussions (conducted through e-mail, instant messaging, or the on site PM system) can be done only with permission from the original individual(s). ANY topic that breaches the topic of how to make/use multiplayer cheats will be closed. Multiple attempts to do so will result in the loss of your forum privileges. To prevent clutter we do not allow recruitment links for online web-based games in our forums. Check the rules of the game you are participating in, most usually say posting your link on a site that forbids it can get your game account deleted.
Written text has no inflection and as such, you should be careful how you write your messages as interpretation will vary from person to person. Please take advantage of the built-in smilies to add expression to your words to avoid misinterpretations. Do not flame, or insult, another user; such messages will always be edited out or subject to deletion. Repeated insults will result in your forum privileges being lost and/or permanent exclusion from the site. Do not post random off-topic messages, or create topics solely for the purpose of increasing your post count. Such posts are deleted and your post count reduced, thus only wasting both your time and the staff members on the site. Repeated posting of so called 'spam' messages will result in the your forum privileges being lost. Please remember the golden rule: to treat other forum users the way you would like to be treated. Please use common courtesy and enjoy using our forums!
