Off-Topic forum is for fun! So these rules need to be here so people can have fun. Without these every forum would be debate and Bitch' an Moan! Thats why we have those! 1.Custom Rule: Sensitive Assult Some ones aunt just died. Well you just got BURNED in the Bitch' an Moan forum. What do you decide to do? "Your aunt NEEDED to die. Her husband probly killed her. Now your auntless! HA HA".. YOUR ASS AND ALL INSIDE YOUR BODY WILL BE MINE! Rules for GamingVoid These are general rules that apply to ALL boards here at GamingVoid unless otherwise stated. These rules are updated frequently by our staff, so please check below for the update date. 1. Flaming Do not engage in personal attacks on other forum members. This includes not making prejudicial or hateful remarks, threats of physical harm, hacking, threats concerning personal data, objectionable language, etc. Any threads found to be of this nature will be closed and possibly deleted immediately. The offending user will subsequently be reported to the GamingVoid Forum Administrators for consideration of further action. 2. Reviving Old Threads Reviving threads that were around back when this forum was new is not needed. Those topics are old and derelict and should not be brought back into action. If you feel that a thread has not passed its time yet, send a private message to a forum leader and he/she will bump that thread back into action. Otherwise, just create your own version of that topic but you must add something new to the topic. 3. Spamming A Spam post is a post that contains little to no information related to the topic of the thread that the post is in. An easy way to identify these posts is think before you post. If it contributes to the forums, it's most likely not spam. If you have to think about it for more then 30 seconds, it's probably spam. Please keep all Spam inside of the Spam forum. Other examples of spamming would be: -Posting a thread directed toward a specific member -Posting a single word, such as "lol," or "lmao" -Posting only smiles -Double Posting (i.e. posting twice in a row, or making an exact copy of a post in a different thread) (This does not aply in the spam forum or in threads that have been pardoned by staff members) -Posting a URL with nothing that describes where the URL takes you to ... And the list goes on. So, please, just limit your posts to intelligent conversations and the occasional joke/goof-off posts. 4. Adult Content Prohibited Any kind of post that contains adult content or offensive pictures, links, or anything else, could result in a deletion of you account or possibly a complete ban from GamingVoid. Dont distribute, discuss, or post obscene or other unlawful materials like child pornography or illegal drugs. 5. Ranting is prohibited A “rant” is a post which is long-winded, redundant and filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and insight flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents. 6. Personal Information For your own safety, please do not post any personal information in the forum. When you use the Private Messaging (PM) or e-mail functions of this forum, you do so at your own risk. Make sure you know the person that you are messaging or e-mailing well, especially if you are giving personal information through one of those means. Any personal information found in public posts to this forum will be immediately deleted for the safety and privacy of that user. 7. Respect the Staff You will not post questions about the specific actions of a moderator in a public forum (eg. editing a post, deleting a thread, banning a member), as this remains a private matter between the member and the staff involved. However, members may PM or email a moderator at anytime. General questions about staff and feedback about moderators are allowed, just not specific questions about a particular moderator action. All decisions to edit, move or delete a post or thread are based on this set of rules listed here. If you, in any way, insult or aggravate an Admin or Sup. Mod, you will be reviewed for instant termination or suspension of your account. Creating scandals, or starting trouble between staff results in termination. For most cases, termination of account occurs. GamingVoid is not obligated to monitor every post, but we have the right to remove any post or take action against any poster. 8. Other Forums Anywere on GamingVoid you will not link to other forums threads, posts, pictures, attachments, or links. You may not mention other forums unless that forum is part of the GamingVoid Network and/or is endorced by GamingVoid. 9. Posting Violations Don't defend yourself against profane attacks with profanity as you will be treated in the same manner as the originator. Don't post links to materials that could harm other users' computers or would allow others to inappropriately access software or Web sites. Posting off-topic in threads will result in a warning. Poor Quality/Spam Posting will result in a warning. 10. Harassment Policy Don't harass, abuse, threaten, stalk, or spam other users. Don't impersonate or harass GamingVoid employees, moderators, or staff members. |
