forum rules [updated]

[solidsteel]

Make sure you are posting constructive criticism, whether it's negative or positive. Contrary to what some people believe, we do take feedback from here into account.

Notice: Administrators/Moderators reserve the right to change/edit/delete any content at any time they feel it is inappropriate.

I. General Forum Rules:
Do not:
- Flame or insult other members.
- Post personally identifiable information (i.e. name, address, birthday, email, phone number, etc.)
- Bump old threads unless you have a good reason.
- Post spam or make pointless posts that don't contribute to a thread (+1 10char, rickrolls, etc.)
- Openly argue with a moderator. Contact the Moderator via a private message.

II. The following topics are strictly off limits:
- Porn, gross stuff, or anything else not safe for work
- Piracy, warez
- Cheating, hacking, game exploits
- Leaked content
- Posting copyrighted material such as magazine scans
- Soliciting, auctioning, selling, advertising, referrals
- Racism, discrimination
- Drugs, alcohol

III. No Backseat Moderating:
Let the Forum Moderators do the moderating. Backseat Moderating is when people who are not Moderators try to enforce the forum rules. Whenever you see a person breaking the rules, take advantage of the "Report this post to a moderator" link. Or simply IGNORE the offensive post(s) or thread. The most common backseat reply is the "+1 in before lock" phrase. Backseat moderating is annoying, and it's kind've pointless.

Report Post to the Moderators:
Should you observe a fellow forum member breaking these rules please report the post by clicking the Report Post button located to the left of every post, or if that feature is unavailable feel free to contact any of the Forum Staff.
