This post is long overdue, but better late than never. These rules are pretty basic, and boil down to "Don't be a dick", but here they are:
- Don't intentionally insult, belittle, or otherwise be a jerk to other forum members.
Really, this should be a no-brainer, but here it is. I'm not gonna be particularly unpleasant about this stuff, but there will be a zero-tolerance policy for anything along the lines of racial/ethnic/gender slurs. Apart from that, just don't say anything you wouldn't say to someone's face, and you'll be fine. - Don't post the same thing more than once.
It will get you attention, but not the kind of attention you want. Do it once, and you'll get your duplicates deleted and a warning. Do it again, and the consequences will be somewhat more...severe. At least, as severe as a forum banning can be. - Don't create a post for something that's already got a post.
Again, this will get you attention, but not kind you want. I know everyone makes mistakes, and I'm not going to come down on anyone too hard for this, but please check and see if someone has already commented on your issue. Bumping an old post may get your the attention and answer you do want. It's happened before. - Your sig is a sig, not an ad.
The forum has, in its infinite wisdom, granted you the ability to include signatures beneath each of your posts. You are welcome to include small pictures, anecdotes, lines from Doctor Who, etc, in them, but please, do not use them to advertise. Put a link to your personal web site if you wish, but please don't link to a site that just sells stuff. I will generally consider this spam, and warn you, but if nothing is done, your account with be suspended. - Don't be a pirate.
In other words, don't steal things. This also means "don't talk about how to pirate, or your own piracy." I obviously can't control what you download on your computer, but if you post about piracy here, I'll delete your post and warn you. If you do it again, I'll ban you. Simple enough.
And that's it, pretty much. Of course, these are more like guidelines than actual rules, but please keep them in mind when you post.
Alles andere ist käse.
