This forum was set up to act as a network where all gamers could come together. How ever it is recommended by this administrative staff that no user under the age of eighteen should enter. If you do, you do so of your own will. It is our goal to make a safe, fun, and friendly environment for all. However our Administrative and Moderation staff does work on a volunteer basis and it can not be guaranteed that one will be present at every hour of the day.
To help us in our goal of creating a safe and friendly environment these forum rules should be followed at all times.
Upon registering for this forum, you have agreed to the following terms
When Posting
1. No Flames!
We are all gamers here and we are all human beings. Treat other members with the respect you would wish to be given.
By definition:
Flaming is a hostile and insulting interaction between Internet users. Flaming usually occurs in the social context of a discussion board, Internet Relay Chat (IRC) or even through e-mail. An Internet user typically generates a flame response to other posts or users posting on a site, and such a response is usually not constructive, does not clarify a discussion, and does not persuade others. Sometimes, flamers attempt to assert their authority, or establish a position of superiority over other users. Other times, a flamer is simply an individual who believes he or she carries the only valid opinion. This leads him or her to personally attack those who disagree. In some cases, flamers wish to upset and offend other members of the forum, in which case they can be called "trolls". Most often however, flames are angry or insulting messages transmitted by people who have strong feelings about a subject.
No Trolling!
By definition:
posting controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
2. No "calling out" or speaking negatively of any users or clan by directly naming them.
3. Slanderous posts containing Sexual Harassment or Racism will NOT be tolerated in any form toward any race, sex, age, etc.
a. No promotion of racial, ethnic, or religious hatred will be allowed.
b. No inappropriate or obscene language and/or images including posting any pornographic material.
4. Use the Search Feature before creating a new topic please. This is to reduce any threads of similar topics. If you are unsure where to put a topic, pm a mod or admin for assistance. They are here to help.
a.Do not make multiple posts for the sole purpose of increasing your post count.
5. No quotes pyramids!
It is asked here that you edited out what does not pertain to your comment, or other quotes that are needless to your post while using the quote feature.
Building "Quote Pyramids" ensures extra scrolling of pages for all and can become an unpleasant experience to one who is looking for only certain things from a thread.
They take up space and are a nuisance for all.
6. Please keep your posts relative to the topic title. While we love to see a little spam and friendly off topic chat from time to time, it creates a mess for those who are actively discussing the real topic at hand. There are many different types of general/off topic/ blog forums and threads for you to use.
Be mindful of your fellow community members. Respect the time they have to read and catch up, and the time they have invested into creating threads and topics.
7. No off site links in posts for promotion of other web sites, services, or sales.
a.Do not post chain letters, solicitations, pyramid schemes and advertisements. If you wish to promote your own website, please restrict this to a link in your signature box.
Advertisement is considered as "public promotion of some product of service" or "non-personal form of communication intended to persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to purchase or take some action."
8. Discussing ways on how to cheat in the online modes of gaming will not be tolerated.
a.This includes glitches, hacks, downloads and etc.
b.This also includes the discussion of torrent files, torrent trackers, BT clients, or anything leading to acquiring anything illegally.
c.Posting about software or hardware hacks, cracks, viruses or methods of acquiring anything illegally is not allowed.
Others
1.The Admin and mod staff work here on a volunteer basis. They are here to help ensure the forum is secure by enforcing these rules.
The instructions of a moderator at any given time are to be followed. If there is still a complaint following a moderator's actions, pm ANOTHER moderator or Administrator, and the issue will be discussed by the mod and admin team together. However, for the sake of forum peace, moderator and admin instructions are to be followed the first time, every time.
2.Signature Stacks should be limited to two. Like Quote Pyramids, too many sigs in a stack takes up too much window space.
If it is felt you have exceed an acceptable height, you will be asked to remove something.
Closing
Your role as a user is important in ensuring these rules are followed. If you notice a topic or poster in violation of these rules, please send a personal message to one of the Administrators or Moderators so the situation can be dealt with. Do not "back seat mod" and try to control the situation yourself. This too can be looked upon as trolling.
The staff is here to help in any situation.
If violations of any of the above rules are made by a user, and verbal warnings go unheeded, a ban will be issued for a time decided upon by the moderation staff and the severity of the violation.
Any bypass accounts (new user name based from an existing logged I.P) will be permanently banned, and the main users account will have more time added to the ban.
These forum rules have been made to ensure the experience here is enjoyable for all who enter.
These rules may be subject to amendments or additions and an update of any such thing will be posted to this thread.
