Forum Board Rules

Forum Board Rules ​

1) Always be polite. Remember that there is another person on the other side of your screen. As a general rule, never write anything you would not say in person. Treat everyone the way you wish to be treated

2) Personal info is not to be given out on the forums. This includes, but is not limited to, e-mail addresses, messenger contacts, home address, phone numbers, full names and exact age

3) Foul language is absolutely not permitted. We have a zero tolerance policy with swearing. A red card will be given for each and every offense. Swearing includes use of swear words, abbreviated swearing, netspeak swearing, disguising a swear word with symbols and/or extra letters/numbers. Remember that this is a family forum. Just because you do not find a word offensive, an 13 year old may.

4) This is the English forum, all posts must be in English.

5) Threatening others will not be tolerated. If you are upset enough to resort to threats, take a day to calm down before posting.

6) Flaming/insulting other players, mods, admin, supporters will not be tolerated. Again, If you are upset enough to resort to insults, take a break to calm down before posting.

7) Links to outside sites are not allowed. This includes information that references illegal programs of any type.

8) Refrain from the spamming of threads and the forum. Spamming includes double posting within a thread, posting the same thread more than once, posting without saying anything constructive to the topic, and cross posting (posting same thread in multiple areas of the forum).

9) Do not hijack another player's thread. Always start your own thread with your own questions. Hijacking posts and all answers to the hijack will be deleted and possible infractions issued to all parties involved.

10) The use of all caps is considered shouting on the Internet. Please refrain from typing an entire post or sections of a post in all caps. If you wish to convey emotion, change the font color, use bold, underline, and/or italics.

11) All nicknames must be clean and family friendly.

12) In the question sections (General, Chat and Technical Issues and Bugs), only the OP (original poster) should be posting after a mod.

13) Thread titles should convey the idea of the thread. Naming a thread help, ???, or your own name is not helping anyone else who may have the same question and is using the search function

14) Always search before posting. Many questions have been asked on the forums and you can find an answer quickly by using the advanced search function or the FAQ Index.

15) This is a game. Please do not take it too seriously, everyone is here to have fun and relax

16) General Questions, Chat queries, and Technical Issues/Bugs are not for discussions but for questions and answers. If you wish to start a discussion or are seeking opinions from other players, Speakers Corner has both game related and off topic sections for chat.

17: The Update and Ideas section has a few different rules. Those rules are posted in a sticky thread at the top of each subsection. Please be mindful of the section rules when posting in this section.
