[READ] Rules [READ]

GENERAL BOARD-WIDE

.GameGuides website is aimed toward a general audience. Explicit and vulgar language, drug talk, nudity, pornography and so forth is not allowed.

. Do not mini-mod. We would like to encourage and thank our members to use the Report button, without adding their own criticism. Examples of this include - "Lock this Thread"Warn this user "ban this user etc...

. All publicly displayed messages are only limited to English. This includes posts, titles, signatures, profiles, and other forms of public display unless told otherwise by a staff member

. When posting a new topic; please do not name the topic title as something similar to "HELP ME" - Instead, a better topic would be "Help me with Modding My Gamertag" - It looks better, and more people will respond to it that way.

. Signatures must not contain anything illegal, explicit, contain nudity, or contain porn

. Do not create a new thread on a topic that is currently already in discussion. Regardless of if you "feel" you deserve to have your own thread, the existing thread should be used unless an Admin or Mod instructs otherwise.

. The GameGuides website's Staff reserve the right to lock and/or delete any posts or threads which they deem irrelevant or frivolous at their own discretion

. Do NOT ask for YouTube subscriptions

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

SPAM AND ADVERTISING


.We do not tolerate spam. In short, do not post small or useless posts that are not relevant to the topic being discussed.

. Do not PM a moderator or admin numerous times saying the same thing to try and speed up an answer/problem. We receive the PM's you get. There is no need to keep sending it.

. Advertising on GameGuides is strictly prohibited

. GameGuides is a tech forum, not a social networking site. We do not care if you're having relationship issues or if your dog Scruffy died. As such, have enough respect to not post it, as it wastes all of our time. Any threads deemed frivolous by the moderation/administration teams will be deleted without prior notice. The poster of the topic may be suspended at the staff members' discretion.


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

OFFENSIVE POSTS


. Do not post offensive, abusive, obscene, hateful, discriminating, or harmful posts.

. ABSOLUTELY NO Cursing or Swear Words

. Follow basic netiquette rules. For example, DO NOT ever type in ALL CAPS. This applies to both topic titles and the post messages, as this is considered yelling.

. Never under any circumstances post personal information of another user, pictures, or any other material without person's consent.

. After 2 Warnings - All warnings will be "tracked". This is to keep troublemakers from not getting the 'penalty' for their actions.


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REPORTING ABUSE


. If you have a complaint about another member, problems with other members, etc., please try to resolve the problem in a personal message. If necessary, address an admin or moderator by reporting their post.

. If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to one of Administrators. Repeating offenders will be banned from the forum, and further action may be taken against them.
