Forum Rules

Forum Rules

1. Posts are to be made in the relevant forum. Users are asked to read the forum descriptions before posting. Users consistently posting to the wrong forum may be given a warning.
   
2. Members should post in a way that is respectful of other users. Flaming or abusing users in any way will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.
   
3. Members are asked to not act as “back seat moderators”. If members note an issue which contravenes something in this policy document they are welcome to bring it to the attention of a member of the Moderator Team. Please use the “post report” feature to report posts. Do not respond to such topics yourself. Members who constantly “act” as moderators may be warned.
   
4. Members should remember this board is aimed at a general audience. Posting pornographic or generally offensive text, images, links, etc. will not be tolerated and will lead to a warning.
   
5. Members are asked to respect the copyright of other users, sites, media, etc. Users linking to or asking for information on warez, crackz, etc. or re-printing material without permission will receive a warning and their post will be removed.
   
6. Members should use an appropriate, descriptive subject when posting a new topic, and if necessary, brackets for what subject the topic is focused on. Examples of bad subjects include; "lol is dum!", "videogames!", "asrsgfs!", etc. Examples of good subjects include; "[AWBW] New Map: Title", "[BBCP] Ragna Combo Video", etc.
   
7. Spam is not tolerated here under any circumstance. Users posting spam will be warned and their post removed.
   
8. The moderating, support and other teams reserve the right to edit, remove or put on moderation queue any post at any time.
   
9. The above forum rules where applicable also apply to private messaging. Abuse of the private messaging system may lead to warnings (as above) and/or the revocation of private messaging.
   

These are basic rudimentary rules and are a guideline, not a hard and fast rule, but moderators and administrators will follow these guidelines at their own discretion.

Policing

1. Users will be warned a maximum of three times for any and all offences, or less depending on the severity of the offense. If the need arises a temporary ban will be put in place of 1 or more days.
   
2. Arguing with team members after having received a warning will lead to an immediate additional warning.
   
3. Users who feel they have been unfairly warned are welcome to contact the relevant moderators. If they feel you were treated badly they will remove a warning.
   
4. Any attempt to circumvent a temporary ban or other moderator action will lead to a permanent ban of your account(s). Circumvention includes re-registering or using an already registered account under a non-banned username. Other examples include changing IP addresses, using a new email account or other action that can be taken to evade moderator action to hide your identity as the owner of the sanctioned account.
   
5. An exception to the these rule applies when users contact team members personally (via any method) and post insulting, indecent or vulgar material. Such users may be subject to an immediate permanent ban.
   
6. Permanent bans are a last resort and thought is given before implementing them.
