I looked at the rules and they werent really that good/keeping everyone in-line.
Here are some warnings (moderators may follow these).
Strike One- Not all that serious, you may have been caught flaming, or something of that nature. You will receive a pm from the Moderator/Junior Admin/Admin that put you on Strike 1 explaining why. (Note: Once you get a strike, you have it, and its not going away, so DON'T go crying about it trying to get rid of it)
Strike Two- This will happen if you have received a strike one and continue to flame, spam, ect. You will once again receive a pm from the Moderator/Junior Admin/Admin that caught you, and you can consider yourself on PROBATION. You will receive an automatic 2 day ban for this.
Strike Three- You're out of here! The admin will call up a few Moderators/Junior Admins/Admins and discuss your case, you WILL get banned, may it be temporary or permanent. It is all up to them on the length, it may be 24 hours, or 2 years, it all depends on what you have done
Here are some General Rules
* Do not Flame another user.
- Flaming is attacking the user, not their mod/picture/etc.
* Do not threaten another user.
* Do not post any leaked files.
* No posting warez or cracks of any kind
* Do not spam people’s topics or their PM box
- Spam includes advertisements, content deemed inappropriate or illegal, and flooding of the boards
* Do not overuse:
- Emoticons
- Line breaks or ALL-CAPS;
- Giant fonts with ugly colours.
* NO HACKS FOR HALO MULTIPLAYER CLIENT SIDE (Wireframe, debug camera)
* No saying, "woot first post" or anything related to having the first post, 100th post, or any number
* Try not to double post (You may if it's important)
* No Bumping old topics, unless you have something important or worthwhile to say. Minimum wait time is one month for a bump of your/someones topic.
* No impersonating any users/moderators/administrators (no exceptions, and this IS a bannable offense)
* No ripping other users content and using it without proper permissions and credit. This includes models, skins, sounds, and anything not released to the public, by the creator.
* Do not troll or create inflammatory posts intended to anger other users.
* Do not post the same topic in multiple forums.
* Anything of a sexually explicit nature is not permitted on this forum. This includes nudity, genitalia, sexual intercourse and interactions, risqué clothing, and see-thru clothing; real or animated. (Instant Ban)
* No Viruses are to be Posted, this includes all invasive programs, such as spybot's, etc.
* Don’t post Off-Topic replies
* Don’t post any degratory comments based on age, gender, race, ethnicity or nationality (which will be met with a swift ban)
* Going to the edge of any of these rules (for example, flaming, but not enough to get you in trouble on on specific occasion) multiple times over a long period of time is called being a jerk. Don't be a jerk or there will be consequences (i.e. a ban, either temporary or permanent based on each individual case)
