Hello Guest, this topic explains the rules.
PowderGames Staff prohibits the following on the forums:
(1) Pornography, XXX, or sex-related posts;
- Elaboration:
Don't post pictures, videos or other similar visual media that includes nudity.
(2) Posts made for the sole purpose of rising post count, spam;
- Elaboration:
Posts that have no logical connection to any other posts in the topic. Outside of the shoutbox, try to keep the flow of the conversation about the topic in question. It's okay to stray away from the original topic for a post or two, but that's it.
(3) Posts made to insult a user's belief;
- Elaboration:
Stating that you disagree with someone is not insulting their beliefs. Attempting to disprove their beliefs is also not against the rules. What is against the rules is maliciously stating something negative about the person's belief.
(4) Posts made to invoke an emotional response from a user;
- Elaboration:
Directly saying something negative about someone that seemingly serves no purpose but to make them feel bad is against the rules. "Constructive criticism" isn't a reason to do this. If it actually seems like you are trying to constructively criticize the person, that's okay, but do so in a polite manner, otherwise it will seem malicious.
(5) Any content that would be considered illegal in the Canadian/United States/International law;
(6) Any content that infringes copyright laws/trademark laws;
(7) Any posts that are random and/or nonsense and/or spam;
(8) Any posts that are only to advertise;
- Elaboration:
Posting a link to your site isn't counted as advertisement if someone asks for it, but doing so just for the sake of advertising is against the rules.
(9) PM advertising (do not PM someone just to advertise). If they ask for the link, that's different;
(10) Signatures that exceed the pixel limit;
(11) Backseat moderating (telling another moderator what to do when you are not one);
(12) and anything that the staff deems insulting or dis-respectable.
(13) Phishing
- Elaboration:
Don't try to hack others or get their personal info.
(14) ID robbing
- Elaboration:
Please use your own username and not others! You will just get reported and banned.
(15) Outside arguments
- Elaboration:
Arguments or fights that have nothing to do with PG or PG2 are not to be continued in the PGForums.
(16) Mistreating and Bullying
- Elaboration:
Do not treat your fellow users like waste...even if you do not use swears or cause fights, the simple act of belittling them and even insulting them over and over is wrong and inappropriate. Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself, and use your common sense when speaking with others. Do not treat people as inferiors; even if you are a high rank, treating a new user in a mean manner is still wrong, any user really.
Banned Users:
If you are banned on Dan-Ball forums, when you attempt to log in, it will say that you are banned and the amout of time you will be banned for.
Creating a new account will lead to a serverban. (Do note, if you are banned forever, it is possible to get unbanned.)
Note to all users:
You can always use the repost button (the little at the top right corner of the post) to report spamming topics. If a user is breaking the rules or sending you unwanted emails or PMs, you can also PM 8power8.
Staff has the right to change the rules at any time. Breaking the rules will result in warnings and then later bans.
Thanks,
-8power8 and the PF staff
