General Overview

These are the Forum rules. If you don't agree with them, you can leave or refuse to register an account. Upon breaking a rule you might receive a warning, but this is not mandatory. You can be banned for your first offense of breaking these rules.

The "BIG ONES"

If you break these rules, you'll earn an instant ban, regardless of which moderator sees the post(s).

Using racist, sexist, homophobic or hateful language.
Posting pornographic (including cartoon porn) or NSFW (Not Safe For Work) material.
Linking to pornographic (including cartoon porn) or NSFW material without a clear warning.
Linking to viruses, referral sites, or maliciously coded websites, either in your signature or in your post.
Discussing illegal activities - including, but not limited to: ROMs, cracks, warez and hacking.
Instigating or discussing malicious attacks on other websites
Posting with an alt whilst banned, or your main account while an alt is banned. Both accounts may be deleted.
Posting any member's real life information without permission.
Impersonating Administrators, Moderators, or videogamerus Regulars.
Bumping any old topic without a good reason and new information.
Making multiple short posts (five words or less) over a short time period.
Attempting to smartass your way round these rules.

The OTHER RULES:

If you break these rules, you're definitely risking being banned. Think before you post.
Remaking, or complaining about, a locked or deleted thread by creating a new thread.
Complaining or boasting about any ban, including in signature text.
Backseat modding: pointing out what needs to be deleted, banned, locked, destroyed.
Picture spamming, and/or posting flashing or strobing images, including your sig.
ALL CAPS posting.
Chasing / harassing / flaming other users, regardless of who instigated it.
Harrassing other users by having generally negative or bitter attitude towards them.
Insulting or harassing the moderators or administrators.
Trolling: cruising the boards looking for a fight.
Recreating a thread that has been created recently. Use the search bar before hitting 'New Topic'.
Posting excessively in a language other than English for the sole purpose of excluding the majority of the users.
Making 'Hi, I'm new', 'I'm back', or 'I'm leaving' threads without significant content pertinent to your situation.
Creating parody threads, or posting with gimmick accounts.
Making stats threads.
Posting 'Use the search', 'Use Google' or similar without providing relevant links.
Posting lame chat convos. No one cares. Seriously.
Attempting to smartass your way round these rules.
These rules are open to interpretation by individual moderators.

ADVICE
Use proper punctuation and grammar.
Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse not to follow them.
Lurk first, post second. Read the entirety of every thread you post in BEFORE you post.
If you're about to make a post that you're not sure is OK, whether covered by the rules or not, don't.
If you can't make a positive contribution to a topic, don't post.
If you're not here to have fun, go elsewhere.
Read, re-read, and respect these rules

Trus me follow these and you will be a-ok. Welcome to Videogames R Us.
