| Rules (21 Jan 2006) |
While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or eliminate any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable.
You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions. You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit. As a user you agree to any information you have entered above being stored in a database. While this information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent, the webmaster, administrator and moderators cannot be held responsible for any hacking attempt that may lead to the data being compromised.
This forum system uses cookies to store information on your local computer. These cookies do not contain any of the information you have entered above; they serve only to improve your viewing pleasure. The e-mail address is used only for confirming your registration details and password (and for sending new passwords should you forget your current one).
Access to this forum is a privilege not a right therefore you must use it with respect towards all other members. The Management may, at its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the registration of any user who violates any of the rules contained in this page or for any behavior they believe is inappropriate regardless of whether or not a technical breach of the rules has or has not taken place.
Due to the real-time nature of this message board it is impossible for us to review all messages or confirm the validity of information posted. The messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of this message board or any entity associated with this message board. The individual member remains solely responsible for the content of their messages weather those are true or false.
The interpretation of these rules is at the sole discretion of the forum moderators. Both the rules and the forum policies are not open for debate or discussion so if you do not like them then you are free to leave.
Please Note: This document is subject to change at any time and without notice. Please refer here regularly to keep yourself updated. |
| The Forum Rules |
1. Do not ask for, offer or supply materials that are considered illegal
We do not permit discussions about getting any illegal materials, such as Ripped Music CDs(MP3 etc), Ripped Movies(Divx etc), ROMs, ISOs or Warez. Threads which break this rule will be either closed or simply deleted and the thread creator will be dealt with accordingly.
2. Not Safe For Work("NSFW") content
NSFW is defined as anything that most people would not want to be seen by their bosses, parents or teachers. Do not post links to content that is considered NSFW. This rule applies to signatures(text and images) and user avatars as well.
- Do not post images of sexual acts for any kind or images containing nudity that can be considered inappropriate for minors.unless it is in a adult section which have been clearly named
- Signatures and avatars should not contain any sexually "suggestive" images as both occur site-wide. There is a thin line between that and "ecchi", try not to cross it.
- Do not post images of explicit real-life violence
Please Note: This place is geared toward the PG rating. Meaning, that there are children that post here as well as adults. Please keep your posts in the normal forums to these rules, in the adult forums a certain amount of leaway is allowed but if you are unsure ask the moderator before posting anything
3. Flaming, Trolling & Baiting
The use of insults that are meant to annoy, harass or insult members(flaming) is not allowed. Failure to comply to a Moderator's warning regarding the use of profanity could lead to a permanent ban.
Hate posts or posts specifically designed to provoke a negative response from someone (baiting) for fun or otherwise are not allowed so try to be tolerant, understanding and respectful of other people's point of view. Registering an alternative ID for the sole purpose of creating problems on the forums(trolling) will only cause the new account to be banned immediately and permanently. The primary account holder may be banned as well.
Please Note: Actions or posts meant to harm(defame, insult, bash etc) the site, affiliates or any entities associated with us will not be permitted.
4. Thread Bashing & Off Topic
There will be some posts or threads in the forum that you may not like. If you dislike somebody's thread or some of the people participating in the discussion simply don't bother reading it. Posting in it with the sole purpose of having it closed(bashing) will not be tolerated.
Try to stay close to the original topic of a certain thread as much as you can. If you wish to talk about something else make a new topic, do not use an existing one(don't make it Off Topic).
5. Do not use more than one member account at the same time
Use only one user account. If you want a different username please contact an Administrator to request a name change. Making more than one accounts to "have fun" could result into a ban as well as making a new account to bypass a ban. Unauthorized multiple accounts will be closed at once when found.
Please Note: If you need a new account badly for a specific reason then feel free to contact an Administrator about your situation.
6. Do not Spam
SPAM - Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages - We simply don't like it. There is no need to reply to every single post. If you only have one thing to say, explain and expand it, fill it with meaning and substance.
Members who register and immediately start posting spam links will be banned. Army building spam is not allowed as well. Below is a list of examples of topics that we consider as being spam:
- User posted advertisements
- Scams or cons
- Multiple posts & threads to promote a single subject or to get a solution to their problem faster.
- Hostile advertising.
7. Avatars & Signatures
The signature rules are only loosely enforced. Never-the-less, signatures that violate them will be replaced with a warning. Members who ignore this warning and keep violating the signature rules will be temporarily banned. Annoying signatures may be edited or removed without warning at the sole discretion of the staff.
- Use acceptable content. Any content that is found to be inappropriate or insulting will be removed.
- You can use only one image/banner in your signature no larger than 500x100 pixels and 50kb of size.
- You may use text in your signature but no more than four lines.
- You may not use the spoiler tag to bypass the image and text size restrictions.
8. General Tips
The following are some tips that can be followed to ensure a more pleasant posting experience.
- Post in the right part of the forum. That way we get to keep the forum organized.
- We don't like "Grave Digging". Try not to bump threads that haven't been replied to for over three months without a serious reason.or unless asked to do so by an administrator
- Don't post just to raise your post count, there is no bonus in that.
- If you don't have something constructive to add to a thread then don't post at all. It is better than just posting a "lol".
9. About Junior Admins & The Moderators
Junior Administrators & Moderators are the people assigned to help look after the forum and try to make this a pleasant experience for everyone. They will help you if you are in trouble or be strict if you break the rules. If you encounter any problems with any members please use the report button or contact a moderator directly to have the problem solved.
While the Junior admins & moderators are members themselves we require that you follow their instructions when it comes to forum matters and show some respect. Remember, they are only doing their job in keeping the forum clean.
Please Note: If you don't like the decision a junior admin or moderator made you should contact him/her directly to have the problem solved and if that doesn't help PM an Administrator. DO NOT start public threads criticizing their actions in order to gain sympathy.
10. Security & Privacy
We take security seriously. Given that fact we would like to remind you that the individual users are responsible about the security of their account password and the e-mail account associated with the forum. If a user account is hacked then you will be held responsible not we. Any user found trying to gain unauthorized access to restricted or sensitive areas may be banned as well.
As a registered member you acknowledge that all information posted by you can be viewed by everyone. Do not post private information if you don't want to have it publicly shown.

| Ban Information |
Banned users will see a screen with information as soon as they log in. Both temporary and permanently banned users have no access to any posting features.
Please Note: Creating a new account to bypass a ban will only lead to a new ban. We don't care what you did to get the original ban or how long ago that happened.
