“This is an Online Forum” and we expect you follow Common Sense and Standard Online Forum and Internet Etiquette with regards to your fellow participants. The Forum Rules are simple and straight forward: - No Hacking - This should go without saying, but you are not permitted to hack the board. Guessing someone else's password and succeeding counts as hacking. Members who hack will instantly be permanently banned without any warnings.
- No Discrimination, - You may not insult members based on their religion, race, sex, political beliefs, or whether they are gay or straight. This is worse than flaming, because it also hurts other members of the board who fall into the catagory you insult. The Internet is a place where everyone is equal, and discrimination will NOT be tolerated!
- No Bullying - Do not pick on other members. The worst kind of bullying is where new members are picked on. This hurts the members as well as the board.
- No Flaming - Flaming causes thread's to go off topic, and most importantly, it hurts the person being flamed. The victom may defend themselves against any accusations made to them, but may not make any additional accusations to the flamer (which also counts as flaming).
- No Profanity or Obscene Content - Such content does not belong here. A censor system is in place as a backup. If you see words in your post being replaced with ****, you have done something wrong. Please edit your post and tone it down before your timer runs out. To edit a post, click the "Edit" button right below it. Cheating the censor system is against the rules.
- No Advertising - You are not permitted to make money using this forum. You are not allowed to use the member list to obtain Instant Messenging screennames to harrass people to purchase a product from you.
- No Illegal Activity - You are not allowed to break the law using this forum. Posting links to roms or hacked code is illegal, so this counts as a violation of this rule.
- No Double Posting or Spamming - You may not post more than once in a row in the same thread. Posting lots of times in a row reduces the quality of the board, is a waste of the board's memory, and provides the culprit with ill earned post count points. Double posts will be merged into regular posts, and you will lose 10 postcount for each of the posts excluding the first one. Your post count can be changed to a negative number if necessary. The only exeption to this rule is if your edit timer (24 hours) for the post has run out, in which case you may double post if you have something important to add. Spamming is also not allowed, and is defined as a post that has no meaning.
- No Topic Bumping - If a topic you created has no replies, you may not post again in it (although you may edit the post if the timer has not run out). If you made the thread because you need help with something, you may post again as long as you include additional information about your problem (the fact that you really really want it fixed does not count as additional information). You must post this in the same thread, and you are not allowed to create more than one thread per topic.
- No Posting Personal Info - You may not post your last name, or your street address on this forum. This is because this information then becomes accessible to anyone.
