StreetSide Gaming Rules

[Derek]

While we may have trimmed down massively on what we used to enforce in terms of rules, we still have rules that need to be followed, and will be enforced if and when necessary.

All rules apply to anything that all users can use to put text into. This includes all posts, editable profile fields, avatars, signatures, profile pictures, albums, profile backgrounds, user titles, visitor messages, and userpages.

While I strongly suggest that you follow all rules in private messages too, it is largely up to the user on what is and isn't appropriate in the private messages. If you have no problem being trolled, flamed, talking about anything illegal etc., you are free to not report those private messages. However, the one rule that will be enforced (and you must report if this happens) is advertising through PMs.

1. No Trolling. This is a major one. We will not tolerate trolling at all.
2. No Flaming. This is also a big no-no. Flaming is inversely related to trolling, hence it's own line here, but does often end up in troll posts. This rule, like trolling will be enforced to the fullest.
3. Nothing illegal here. This is more directed at pirating (illegal downloads of music/movies/etc) than real life illegal activities, but the more severe illegal activities in real life are included in this. The discussion of this is not allowed either. This includes the mention of an illegal activity, which can often lead into a discussion.
4. No advertising. Most sites are allowed here, with the exception of anything pornographic or really just down right disgusting. We do get quite a lot of bots, which are disposed of quickly, which is what the rule mostly refers to, but if you're not sure if a site is allowed to be posted, do not hesitate to ask someone on the staff.
5. No impersonating anyone, or any kind. This is rather a given.
6. While you may be free to talk about disciplinary action taken against you by the staff on the forums, it is not suggested you do so. Doing so (as has been done before), the staff will not hold back in telling what actually happened, embarrassing anyone who lies to make the staff look badly.
7. No pornography or hentai. Meaning no visible nipples, penises, or vaginas.

Breaking rules will result in warnings, suspensions and/or bans. The length and type depend on the severity of the broken rule.

We reserve the right to at any time add or remove any rules, and edit this at any time.
