Forum Rules

[Skyward]

Ok so since we didn't have any official rules for the forum yet, i've decided to pick up those from Gamezone24.net as reference.

Global Rules


1. No warez (Illegal downloads)! Any warez talks or links to warez sites are not allowed on GameZone24 forums.

2. No trashing/flaming towards any person! Do not trash or insult other GameZone24 forum members.

3. No violence, brutal etc. images or links!

4. You are allowed to change your username once every 6 months. If you'd like to change your username, contact an admin.

5. No multiple accounts or fake IPs! Each member is allowed to use only one account. Multiple accounts will be deleted.

6. No links to pornographic or abusive sites! Links to any sites with pornographic or abusive material are not allowed.

7. No pornographic images! Do not attach any pornographic images or other pornographic material to your posts.

8. Meaningless spam in topics or sections that are not meant for spam is not allowed.

9. Any racist, nationalist, nazi and similar to these comments are strictly not allowed on GameZone24 forums.

10. Please do not ask us to delete your account. We have a policy of not deleting any accounts, but you are free to stop using it.

11. Do not put autoplay sounds or music in flash signatures! Music and sounds are allowed in flash signatures only if they do not play automatically (ie. requires clicking or mouseover).

12. Do not post or upload copyrighted images! For more information, refer to image use policy.

13. Do not post (edited) pictures of other forum members without their permission.

14. Do not abuse the Report Function (ie. by reporting posts that do not contain any breach of our rules).

15. Do not post the content of private messages unless all parties that are involved have agreed to do so.

16. Please refrain from excessively posting in languages other than english (International chatterboxes, shoutbox and hosted Clan forums are excluded from this rule).

17. Overall signature height can't be higher than 220pixels..

Any breach of these rules will result in an infraction that either leads to a stay in the Penalty Box or a ban, depending on the severity of the breach and the number of active infractions.


Shoutbox Rules


Spamming or flooding is not allowed in the Shoutbox. If you want to spam, use spam threads for that. Flooding will only cause huge load on the server.

Please note that all of the Global Rules mentioned above also apply on the Shoutbox.

If you don't obey these rules you will be banned from the Shoutbox.

Advertising

We do not allow people to post threads or to send private messages or emails or anything of that kind to users here that advertise or solicit any products or services. Explicit advertising and solicitating in signatures is also prohibited.

Thank you for reading and respecting those rules.

paragraph 11 - almost not possible unless:
1 - user has "flash block" installed
2 - flash is encapsulated in "spoiler" tag .....(then its activated only when opened ...but again ....in firefox - not always works...- activates on open but does not deactivate on close ....)


paragraph 12 - whole internet is a copy/paste of other images... - .... some are copied from the copy that was copied from another copy originally a copy of copy work that was copied from a site that copied it from some other site.
Most images have a watermark embedded ... but that does not indicate a copyright ...
Only some images are ... - like purchased images from photo stock sites - ...most of those are available for purchase only... but i doubt they are interesting
mostly those are used for collage as part of other works by graphic designers.

paragraph 13 - questionable ... unless you mean pictures OF user faces/bodies... ...photoshoped into something ...


for the rest - all looks ok ..


and about advertising - there is triple protection ..... last spammer was 2 months ago - he registered manually - and was banned before being able to post anything ... - though the rule is fine !.
