Forum Rules

Rules of the Game Forum
1. Don't spam. Spamming includes:
A) Posting multiple threads of the same topic when there is a
larger, active thread for that topic already;
B) Multiple one-word responses, especially if they make no sense
or off-topic. Especially if your sole-purpose is raising your
post count.
Also try to avoid posting consecutive posts on the same thread
(called double-posting or multi-posting, depending on how many
posts in a row you made). If you just thought of something else
to say, and nobody has made a post after you yet, use the Modify
function on your post and add in what you had in mind. It's
recommended you use the word "EDIT" before the addition. You may
also use the Modify function to change what you originally had,
for typos or something.
2. Don't go off topic. Try the best you can to stick to the
topic of the thread.
3. Be polite. This is split into two parts:
First and foremost don't, whatever you do, insult people. This
is called flaming and will land you in heaps of trouble.
Second, when you do debate someone try avoiding language, polite
that it may be, that is designed to offend. Condescension and
needless heat will only land you neck-deep in a rather heated
argument. This, while not technically against the rules, will
make the mods upset. Upset mods are Bad.
4. Don't troll. Trolling is when you make a post for the purpose
of provoking peoples' ire.
Another form of trolling is making a thread you KNOW will anger
someone/everyone, such as one where you call out forum members
and flame them in order to get them to respond and fight back.
Another type of trolling is more insidious and even more
hurtful: The sympathy thread. Don't make a thread specifically
designed to troll (there's that word again!) for sympathy.
Complain freely, of course, but don't be manipulative and tug on
our heartstrings for some selfish end.
Trolling is one of the fastest ways to get suspended or banned.
Just don't do it.
5. Please try to write coherent posts.
Try your best with spelling and grammar and always re-read to
make sure your sentences make sense.
6. No-one likes posts that make your eyes bleed. Avoid posting
animated GIFs overuse of smileys or writing in odd colors.
7. If you have any troubles on the forum, or you don't know how
to do something ask an admin or mod. It is (one) of the jobs of
a administrator/moderator to assist members.
Also remember: if you see someone break one of these rules it
would be appreciated if you'd use the 'Report' button on the
offending post. We know how to handle trolls and trouble-makers
(a lethal combination of automatic weapons and exotic martial
arts in case you were wondering).
7-b.Please do not abuse the report button! If your thread was
locked, do not report the mod/admin that locked it claiming it
was wrongly closed. If your claim is false and there is, in
fact, a rule broken that required a quarantine, you will receive
a warning.
This goes for reporting people 'just because you don't like
them' or because their opinions are different than your own.
In short, if it's not against the rules, don't report it.
8. Do not ask to be a mod or admin. I will decide who gets
promoted based on their maturity, activity, and their influence
on the community.
9. Do not ask an admin to give you fake posts. There is no point
in having fake-posts if you did not earn them by contributing to
other threads.
This rule also applies to admins. Do not give yourself fake
posts just to be 'higher' than other members.
10. Remember the first rule of the forum: We are all here to
have fun. Anything that impedes that is bad and anything that
helps it along is good. All else is formality.
