1. The general rules of the forum still apply. This should be a given. Learn them and love them.
2. The rules of this section are subject to change under the almighty will of Recon, at his discretion, without prior warning.
3. You are allowed to be critical of a game or platform in a post, however this does not mean you are allowed to outright flame it. Only saying "this game sucks" or, as might also be the case, "this game is t3h suXXorZZ!! J00 All should DIE for playing it!" will not be tolerated. If you have a bad opinion about the game, explain it.
4. I want to see no console wars. End of story. If I see any "OMG PS3 SUCKS" posts I will not be happy. Console wars are stupid. They add nothing and everyone walks a way with a bad taste in their mouth.
5. No posting links to ROMs. No asking about ROMs. Don't go around bragging that you found a great site to download ROMs. In fact, don't talk about ROMs at all. They are illegal, if you haven't noticed. The same goes for torrents. Threads and posts that contain links and talk WILL be deleted.
5.1. You can talk about freeware though. Freeware are ROMs that are public domain.
5.2. Patches for hacks are ok. Just don't ask for the ROMs themselves.
6. When you create a topic name it appropriately. For example, if it's a topic about Zelda don't call it "OMG TEH MASTER SWORD PWNS!" Call it something along the lines of Zelda Games. Think before you name a topic.
6.2. On the same note, make your OP interesting. Don't just say "Anyone played this game?" Tell us about the game. What is it about? Is it a series? This is not required, but it is good practice to do so.
7. Spoilers... boy oh boy. If there's a bigger downer in the world, it has to be learning something about a game that you might not have wanted to know yet. This will not be tolerated. If your post has spoilers in it, then you should do two things. First warn of said spoilers. That's fairly basic. Secondly, here's a bit of code you can use to hide the spoiler information.
For red posts: YOUR SPOILERS HERE[/color]
For blue posts: YOUR SPOILERS HERE[/color]
The forum doesn't flow that fast, you have no excuses not to use them.
