Hey guys! I just want to post the rules in-case anyone missed them. (They are at the top when you are posting something.)
1.Try to stay on topic at all times. Try not to drift off topic during a thread conversation. Please don't join in with off topic discussion even if others are. Instead, try starting a new thread and linking to it. Off topic posts may get deleted, and threads that really get out of hand will be closed.
2.Post similar questions together. If you have several questions, it's better to ask them all in the one thread rather than create additional threads to ask each within. Make use of the edit feature in your post to add more information.
3.Try not to post duplicate threads.
4.Use short, concise thread titles. When posting a new thread, it's a good idea to use a short, yet informative title, so it is not too long and other Visitors to the Forum know what your thread is about.
5.Try not to double post!. If you post additional identical replies/posts by mistake, please delete the duplicate replies.
6.No offensive, insulting, profane or vulgar remarks are allowed. This also applies regarding comments about other people who do not frequent the site.
7.Do not impersonate other Visitors. Trying to pretend to be someone else on the site, including Staff, is not allowed, because firstly you'll be bad at it and secondly you will be punished!
8.Do not spam. Under no circumstances are you allowed to spam anywhere, within any Forum.
9.Do not use other accounts to break any of the Forum Rules. Please do not attempt to break rules as another Visitor for the purpose of anonymity to avoid punishment. All Moderators and Site Staff can find out who you are if they need to!
11.Do not create additional registered accounts to bypass an issued ban. Trying to get around a ban using secondary/additional member accounts will result in a permanent banishment of all binding accounts from which you have created. Further abuse will lead to your ISP being informed for site abuse - that can mean you won't have the Internet anymore - yes, even just because you got in trouble on an Internet site!
12.Do not aid other Visitors to bypass bans! Using your knowledge of the site workings and Moderator tools to help a troublemaker or banned Visitor will get you in a lot of trouble as well.
13.Pornographic content is not permitted on this Site. Young Visitors frequent this Site due to its basis as a Games Information Network, and should not be exposed to adult material. This includes the provision of links to source material, or the posting of pornographic text or imagery anywhere on the Site. So keep all of those "special pictures" to yourself, noone wants to see them here!
14.Do not advertise other websites.
15.Do not use inappropriate avatars, custom titles or signatures. Using any of these site provisions to show sexual imagery or text, profanity, religious, social or personal slandering is a serious offence.
16.Do not pose as an Administrator or Moderator. Visitors to the Site who are not recognized Administrators or Moderators with full credentials, should not pose as either through the use of Administrator or Moderator in their Member name, avatar, custom title or signature. This includes but is not limited to using the following titles or deviant spellings of admin, Administrator, Webmaster, Staff, Mod and Moderator.
18.Do not attempt to distribute or discuss Warez, ROMs or any other illegal software or counterfeit merchandise. This includes the provision of links to source websites and/or file transfer software for the obtaining of this material.
