Forum Use Guidelines

If you are new to our forum please read this.

1. First things first, this forum is a gaming based forum, so it should go without saying that this is place geared towards games. We talk mainly about finding, playing, and enjoying video games... please respect that. If you have general or remedial questions about your computer please post them somewhere else.
2. Please keep all posts related to the section you are posting within. Threads posted in the wrong section will need to be moved to the correct section by our moderators.
3. Spamming is prohibited in all sections in our forum and will result in the person making the post being banned, as well as the post being deleted.
4. This is a clean site, so we will absolutely not allow pornographic material or links directed to pornographic material in this section or ANY sections for that matter. Our definition of pornographic material means: if you wouldn't show your little brother, or daughter, don't post it. Both 'Upstairs' and 'Downstairs' must be covered in some kind of fashion. The same applies to avatars as well.
5. Photos or links to photos of illegal activities are not allowed in ANY sections of this forum.
6. No political or religious threads are allowed. These types of threads seem to cause much debate and typically get out of hand and will be deleted on sight. Gaming is the point!
7. No sexism is allowed. Offensive comments will be deleted. We have a lot female users... so why would you want to try and run them off with stupid sexist comments?
8. Multiple accounts are not allowed unless given direct consent by a Forum Admin. For example, a Sponsor who wishes to have his sponsor account separate from his personal account may have more than one account. Registered Users creating multiple accounts for their own amusement will not be allowed.
9. No outside vendors are allowed to sell or promote their products ANYWHERE within this forum! If you want to become a sponsor, contact us!
10. No Sponsors are allowed to attack, or excessively critique the efforts of other Sponsors. If a Sponsor makes a negative comment about another Sponsor, we will ask that they refrain from making any additional comments of that nature and to take their disagreement to email.
11. Flamebaiting and trolling are VERY frowned upon. Controversial threads will be deleted, this especially includes threads started to create drama. Any questionable threads will be closely watched by our Moderators.
12. If a user replies in several threads within a short amount of time, or creates several new threads in a short amount of time, or is resurrecting several old threads in a short amount of time the user's account will be placed on hold for spam or post padding prevention. When the account is placed on hold the user will not be able to post in any threads. They will be notified that they cannot access the page they are referencing. If it is a legit user that just was bumping threads excessively then they will know instantly that they cannot post. The user will need to contact an Admin to have their account re-activated at that point.
13. Continually posting negative comments within threads is not allowed. Problem users will watched by our moderators and will have their accounts placed on hold if problems with them increasingly gets worse. They will need to contact an Admin to have their account re-activated.
14. No Moderator/Admin bashing allowed. If any type of negative comment is made towards a Moderator or Admin of this site, whether if posted within a thread, referenced within a signature/custom user title or within an avatar, it will be deleted on sight. If a user has a valid complaint with certain Moderators/Admins they will need to contact the Moderator/Admin to have any differences worked out. Any of the above mentioned published to complain will be deleted. This is simply to keep the peace here on this forum. Upon the user's second offense, their account will be placed on hold and they will need to contact an Admin to have their account re-activated.

We reserve the right to suspend any users account if they violate any of our guidelines. If a user violates any of the above guidelines, that user can be banned permanently or have their account placed on hold temporarily, depending on the offense. These suspensions are appealable, but in general, if a user has received continuous warnings it's unlikely for there to be a reversal of the suspension since we will have already exhibited a lenient attitude prior to the suspension.

We want you to have fun, bu use of this forum is a privilege not a right!

Failure to comply with any of the above guidelines may trigger one or more of the following responses by the Moderators:

1. Your message may be edited, closed or deleted.
2. You could possibly receive a written warning from a Moderator not to do it again.
3. If you do not receive a written warning and notice a message that you made was edited, closed or deleted without written warning from a Moderator this should make you aware that your post was inappropriate and the edit, closing or deletion of the message should be warning enough. You should not start a new thread concerning the same topic as this may lead to you being banned from the forum. Please do not expect the Moderators to give you a warning every time you do not follow the guidelines that are listed here. It is your responsibility to know these guidelines.

We reserve the right to revise these guidelines at anytime.
