Have you read the rules recently?
WELCOME TO GRCADE!
We hope you have a great time here! Forumites' enjoyment of this place will be enhanced by all members observing the following posting guidelines:
- Do not bump old threads without good reason.
- Try not to double post - edit your last post instead.
- Post new threads in a relevant forum.
- Try to find a thread that answers your question before making a new one.
- Post in a thread that is currently active and relevant to the post you want to make.
- Use a relevant thread title when starting a new thread.
- Try to read the thread completely before replying, where reasonable.
- Keep offensive language to a minimum (the optional swear filter can be turned off in your User Control Panel, but it doesn't give you free reign to litter every post with swearing).
- Try to be nice!
Stick to these guidelines and you won't go far wrong.
GRcade operates an escalating system of "punishments" for bad behaviour. Hopefully these sanctions won't have to come into play, but they are outlined below.
Warnings
Two strikes and you're out (24hour ban).
Why would you receive a warning?
- Posting malicious links (spyware, viruses, loads of pop-ups etc).
- Posting pictures of topless women.
- Spamming.
- Abusing/'flaming' other forum members.
- Trolling/baiting other forum members.
- Discussing illegal activities such as pirating game software, music piracy and other intellectual property violations.
- Posting any referral links, or anything asking for a referral, without referring to a moderator for permission.
- Posting multiple threads on the same topic across several forums.
PLEASE NOTE: Issuing warnings is at the discretion of the moderators, and in extreme cases they may be upgraded to a temporary or permanent ban.
Temporary ban
- Posting pornographic images, linking to pornographic images, or linking to known pornographic websites.
- Posting anything (words and/or images) to incite racism/sexism/homophobia with malicious intent.
- Using multiple accounts.
- Using racist "slang" for no apparent reason.
- Being part of a 'forum invasion'.
- Breaking an existing temporary ban (ie. reregistering before a ban period has been fully served)
PLEASE NOTE: The length of the temporary ban will be at the discretion of the moderators. In extreme cases (for example, if a forumite posts multiple explicit pornographic images in a random topic), a temporary ban can be upgraded to a permanent ban at the discretion of the moderators.
Automatic permanent ban
- Attempting to hack a forumite's account.
I can't see it "expressly" (or otherwise) anyhere...
