Posting Guidelines and Terms of Use
Please respect other members and the content of their posts. This may be a virtual community, but the people here are real and have real questions, thoughts and comments. Although we encourage healthy debate, we reserve the right to remove posts that in our opinion are abusive towards other members, defamatory, harassing, bigoted, sexually explicit, disruptive or otherwise exist solely to insult or violate these Guidelines. We may also remove user names when they violate these criteria.
• Inappropriate links or graphics
This includes any inappropriate pictures or links to inappropriate sites. Swearing, harassing or belittling others in your signature is also not allowed.
• Inappropriate language
This includes sexually explicit language, vulgarities and swearing. The forum allows ages 13 and up and needs to have content appropriate for all ages.
• General Disruptiveness (spamming, trolling, derailing threads, etc)
Trolls and spammers are banned immediately but sometimes a regular member is inadvertently disruptive and needs to be reminded about proper board etiquette. Please do not link to other commercial gaming sites, post links to pirated material, or tape trade on the boards.
• Attacking or harassing other members
Belittling or attacking others for how they think or feel, name calling or debasement of any kind is not allowed. People are free to have their say within reason. If you think someone's post is unreasonable, please report them or place them on ignore.
• Attacking Moderators or Administrators
Self explanatory. People don't need to like what we say, but we ask them to respect the rules. We will listen to thoughts and concerns, but draw the line at personal attacks.
Controversial Topics
Threads with controversial topics such as abortion, religion, or politics are not to be posted and will be removed. We ask people not to use controversial or political topics in their avatars or signatures. It's important people consider the message boards a welcoming site to be on, not a place where people feel a need to defend themselves for who they are or what they believe.
Reporting Posts & the Ignore Feature
If you see a post that is a breaking the rules, please do not quote it or respond to it. Use the report post button. There's a Settings or "Post Options" tab next to each post. If someone is uneasy to get along with, Ignore them. I think it's either under Settings next to the posts, or in their profile. If someone is deliberately being disruptive report them but if it’s a personality issue than it’s your responsibility not to react to them. Use the ignore tools we provide.
Thank you for reading, and welcome to this Unofficial GSN Forum!
