Here you can find answers to questions about how the board works. Use the links or search box below to find your way around.
Posting topics that clearly do not belong on a certain board, posting topics solely designed to raise your post count, with little or no content, posting topics that have nothing to do with a particular game or its characters on that game's message board, and posting topics that clearly belong on another message board is not allowed.
Example: Posting "How do you get Tidus' Sun Sigil in FF X?" at Esthar City.
Posting web site advertisements, For-Sale/For-Trade/For-Auction notices, "Make Money Fast" schemes, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or other posts generally regarded as unsolicited advertising or that are to be used for commercial gain is not allowed. Including a web site address in a signature is acceptable, as long as it is evident that you are contributing to the forum in the body of your message posts.
Flaming will NOT be tolerated under any circumstances. Flaming is malicious harassment of other members. Arguing is ok, but deliberate verbal attacks is considered flaming. Note: If what you say is a joke, please mark it as such, otherwise it will be considered flaming. This is a board for fun, not to be mean.
Example: "You stupid fucking slut! Go back to your mother and get some more action!" This is flaming.
"You're an idiot/stupid." THIS IS NOT A FLAME. This is an opinion. It is completely harmless.
Trolling is prohibited. Trolling is clearly, deliberately posting in a manner for the purpose of angering and/or insulting other participants of the board. It is also creating posts/topics based off of vague or unsubstantiated claims for the purpose of stirring up controversy.
Trolls often resort to innuendo or misdirection in the pursuit of their objective, which is to create controversy for its own sake, discredit those with whom they disagree, or sabotage discussion by creating an intimidating atmosphere. Trolling DOES NOT encourage further positive discussion in the long run, it only encourages personal attacks (if left unchecked).
Examples:
1. inflammatory messages -- "You are an idiot for including this type of message in your list."
2. messages containing an obvious flaw or error -- "I think Star Wars is Roman Polanski's best movie."
3. generalization -- "Everyone on this board SUCKS!"
4. flamebait messages -- "The mods should get off their high horses and shut the fuck up."
