RULES EXPLAINED
No spamDon't post anything that in no way contributes to the point of the topic. Things like "Cool story, bro, +1, -rep" or posts with only one or two words in them are considered spam. Necro-bumping is also considered spam.
No degrading comments, or comments that flame/harass another userAny degrading comments based on race, gender, age, nationality, beliefs, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or other defining features is strictly prohibited. Any harassing or flaming, even as a joke, is also not tolerated.
Post in the correct areaIf you aren't sure where to post, ask. Make sure you use the find function if you aren't sure whether or not your topic has already been posted.
No hacking, exploiting, or providing links to illegal media.Any hacking or exploiting of these forums, or providing links to illegal media, is prohibited and will result in an immediate permanent ban and report to authorities where needed.
These forums are not meant for selling. Go use eBay or AmazonDon't attempt to sell anything, even Steam things, on here. We are not a selling forum. If you really want to rake in some cash, go sell your stuff elsewhere.
Do not attempt to lead the conversation away from the intended topic.Doing so is considered spam. For example, if the topic is about the Xbox One, don't post about the Sega Genesis and why it was so successful.
No animated signaturesThey lag the page and are a pain to look at when trying to read your post. Just don't use them.
Don't abuse emoticons/colored chatBasically don't use 100 emoticons in four lines of text, and don't use the whole rainbow in one paragraph.
