Community Rules (Rules that apply to all UGI forums.) * Spam - Posts with only one or two words, posts that have nothing to do with the thread topic, or posts that have no real relevance to the forum are considered spam. Such posts are likely to be deleted or locked by a moderator. Please do not reply to spam as this just adds to the problem. Simply make a moderator aware of the spam and it will be dealt with. * Duplicate Threads - If a topic has already been discussed in the forum please don't make another unless the previous topic is old and outdated. * Search Before Making a Thread - As mentioned above, many topics get repeated in these forums simply because the thread author didn't know it was already discussed. However, not having numerous threads about the same subject helps keep our forums clean and organized, and ensures that more pertinent threads stay at the top of the page. Help keep our forums tidy by doing a search to make sure your topic hasn't already been mentioned before. However, not every duplicate thread is a bad thing. Sometimes it can be a good way to refresh a conversation that is old, or if there is new information regarding a topic that warrants a new thread. All in all, use good judgement. * Artificially Raising Post Count - Please do not spam or do a massive post run in numerous threads just to increase your post count. If you're posting only to increase your post count it is usually quite noticeable and your posts are liable to be deleted by a moderator. * Don't Double Post - A double post is when you make a post and then, only a few minutes afterwards, make another post. This makes it where you have two posts in a row in a thread. Please avoid double posting if at all possible. If you've made a post and you need to add something else to it then please use the Edit function (which you can use for up to an hour after you make a post). * No Flaming - Attacking/verbally abusing other members is strictly against the rules. If you have a problem with another member please remain respectful. You don't have to always agree with other members, but you do have to keep it polite and respectful. Also keep in mind that sometimes some debates are better left to private messages between you and that member. Know when to take a conversation out of the public eye. If a member is giving you problems in any particular way you can always PM a moderator to alert them of the problem or report any violating posts. * Necroposting - Necroposting (also known as necrobumping) is what is referred to when a very old thread is bumped up by somebody making a post. For example, a thread was last active in 2006 (as in that's when the last post was made) and a member comes along in 2008 and posts in that thread. This bumps the thread up to the front page, thus reviving a 2 year-old thread. Usually information in threads that are this old are outdated and no longer relevant, so it's usually not a good idea to bump these threads back up. The only time when a necropost is okay is when the information in the thread, despite it being 2 years-old, is still current and applicable. When bumping an old thread up please read through the thread and make sure your necropost is valid. * Multiple Accounts - Multiple accounts are strictly against the rules. If you have an account on the forums you are expected to keep that account at all times, through your full duration of time spent on these forums. Making an alternate account is not allowed, especially if you're going to use this account to "anonymously" spam the forums. Your alternate account will be permanently banned and you run the risk of getting your original account banned as well. Alternate accounts will not be tolerated. * Locked Threads - Has a thread been locked and you don't know why? Or do you simply disagree with the lock? Please contact the moderator who locked it (or any moderator if you do not know who locked it) if you have any questions regarding the lock. Making a thread about a locked thread will only get locked as well. * Picture Or Link Only Posts - Along the same lines as the rule against spam. Please don't make a thread and simply post a picture or link with just a word or two (or worse, no words at all). Take the time and effort to actually tell us why you're posting that link or picture. What's so interesting about it? Why should we, as a forum member, take the time to look at your picture or click on your link? * Pointless Posts - Yet another elaboration on spam. Try to avoid posts which serve no real purpose in a thread. For example, if somebody asks a question and the question is answered, somebody coming in and posting "What he said." might be considered not only a member just posting to increase their post count but would also be considered spam. Another example would be if you come across a spam thread. Instead of posting in the thread saying that the thread breaks the rules, just report it or send a moderator a PM to alert them of the problem. Posting in such threads only keeps bumping it back to the front of the page, something we certainly wouldn't want. * Threads Aimed Towards Another Member - If you have something to say or ask another member please do not make threads to do so. Instead send them a private message. * Large Signatures - Please make sure your forum signature is not too large. My current signature is right about the maximum size allowed and anything larger would likely be excessive. Also try to keep your file size low in your signatures as well; be mindful of other forum members whose internet connection might not be as fast as yours. Signatures that are considered too large in either dimension or file size is left to the discretion of the moderators and will be removed or edited if found to be too large. * No Inappropriate Content - We have members in these forums of all ages so no swearing, pornography, racism, violent images, etc. When in doubt, don't! * No Bypassing the Swear Filter - If you do swear it will be automatically filtered out. Bypassing this filter will can run the risk of a ban. * Illegal Discussion - No discussions about pirated (illegally copied) materials, or endorsing/encouraging the use of such materials. Magazine scans are also not permitted. * Anything That Violates the Terms of Use - As always, anything that violates UGI's Terms of Use is strictly against the rules. Game Specific Forum Rules (Rules that apply to just the Game Specific forums.) * Spoilers - Please be sensitive to the fact that there are many members here that, while enjoying the atmosphere and community, wish to avoid spoilers if at all possible. If you wish to discuss anything which might potentially ruin another member's experience in the form of a spoiler please provide sufficient warning. Putting *SPOILER* at the beginning of your post or in your thread title will likely help avoid any unpleasant surprises. * Questions About the Release Date(s) - If you have a question about a release date, or have something you'd like to comment on regarding a release date, please don't make a thread about it. Since we get many release threads a month, each one taking up space on the front page (thus bumping more interesting threads out of the way), such threads will get locked. There are a good handful of release date threads among the forums, please seek those out if you have any comments or questions regarding the release. For the latest release info check out the FAQ at the bottom. * Off-Topic Discussions - Please keep discussions in these forum(s) related to the specific games. If you'd like to discuss something that isn't about one of these specific games please put it into the Off-Topic forum. * Site Feedback - If the forums or UGI website are giving you problems or are not operating properly please post in the Site Feedback forum. |
