General Rules
1. If you see somebody or something violating the rules, REPORT
IT. If no action appears to be have been taken, it is possible
that the moderation team judged that no rule-breaking occurred
or they contacted the offender privately. If you are unsure if
the situation has been dealt with or not, feel free to PM an
administrator or moderator. However, please do not report
something multiple times, or spam reports from many different
threads: This will be punished with a warning.
2. Do not create multiple accounts for yourself. Once you have
registered an account, you must use that account only. If you
wish to have a different display name, you can ask a forum
moderator to change it for you. If you are unable to log into
your account, (ex: because you lost your p*bleep*word), DO NOT
create another account. Simply contact a forum Administrator on
their corresponding wiki talk page. We will reset your
p*bleep*word, then email it to you.
3. Use proper grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation
when posting. The only exception is if English is not your first
language, in which case this rule will be more lenient.
4. Do not derail threads, i.e go off-topic for more than 3-4
posts. An example of going off-topic is debating Capitalism vs.
Communism (believe it or not, a big problem here) in a topic
about the new Presidential election. Additionally, posts that
are completely irrelevant to a topic, (ex: posting "I like
frogs" in a topic about 'The Rolling Stones') will be deleted;
said poster will receive a warning.
5. No spamming. Spam comes in many forms, some of which may be
tolerated. However, if a moderator deems something as spam, you
are expected to stop posting said spam.
6. No double posting within 3 days. If somebody hasn't posted
after your post and you need to add something, simply edit your
existing post. This only applies if it wasn't because of lag.
Double-posting is, however, allowed when adding to project or
news threads (but try to edit instead if possible).
7. Show respect towards ALL members, no matter who they are. Do
not flame people, or bait them into flaming you and don't be a
troll. No racial slurs or any type of prejudicial comments.
8. Do not publicly question us on policies. We will listen to a
well reasoned opinion on why policies should be different, but
this needs to be done through PM. As such, creating topics or
posts that insult or question the authority of a moderator is
not allowed. We don't care how upset something makes you, you
have the ability to handle things privately in a peaceful
manner.
9. No requesting, sharing of or linking to illegal wares (such
as ROMs, or certain mp3s). If you are unsure of whether an piece
of content is illegal or not, PM an administrator or moderator;
said Administrator will tell you if it is okay to post it.
10. Absolutely no inappropriate content such nude images,
pornography, gore, etc. This includes discussion of said
content.
11. Posting advertising threads is not allowed, unless
permission is given by a staff member. However, advertising
links in signatures are allowed.
12. No troll-feeding. Posting in topics to antagonize, praise,
or insult trolls is not allowed.
13. No enormous quote blocks. Large quote blocks can cause
certain members' computers to run poorly, and it puts stress on
the server. Trim down the quote block, or make a post without
quoting if you wish to continue a conversation with a growing
quote block.
14. Try to avoid making topics that already exist. If you're
unsure whether it's already been made you can use the search
button to check.
Warning System
* An infraction of the rules warrants a warning.
* Being warned more than once warrants a suspension.
* Being suspended multiple times is grounds for consideration to
be banned.
*An infraction of the rules, if severe enough, can warrant a
suspension in it's own right, or even a ban, especially if it
deals with pornographic images or
