Here are the rules for this forum.
1. Flaming and/or making insulting remarks to other people on the forums is not tolerated. Insults and flames would include anything that is posted for the intent to anger, intimidate, demoralize, aggrovate, threaten, and/or frighten. Anything that discriminates someone based on religion, sex, sexual affiliation, and/or race will also be considered as flames.
2. Posting of or linking to material that could be considered as inappropriate is not allows. These kinds of materials may include: pornography, nudity, hate oriented material towards a group of individuals, sexual explicit material, and highly violent material. Remember, kids come here too, so the forums should be PG rated.
3. Please keep forum spam to a minumum. Try to make posts that will contribute to the thread, rather than simply saying whatever you feel like. The forums are not to be used as a chat room.
4. Try to keep your posts on topic as much as you can. Going off-topic can usually turn a potentially good thread into a spamfest. Going off-topic in the off-topic forum is usually more acceptable than any of the other forums, since the off-topic forum is meant for general chit-chat.
5. When you decide that you wish to post a topic, be sure that it is a strong enough topic for people to stay on. This way, the forums will be able to have more successful threads with much discussion rather than having multiple threads that are either spammed or simply ignored.
6. When you have a strong topic chosen, and are ready to post it, be sure to post it in the correct forum.
Beta Testing Feedback is for people to point out any observations they have made, Bug Tracker is put there so that people can report any bugs that they experience when playing maps, Support for people to ask for help with any problems installing maps, and General is for anything not directly associated with my maps.
Posting in the correct forum will ensure that moderators do not have to spend time making sure everything is where it should be.
7. We do not condone any illegal content or information for such things on the forums. Do not ask for help, do not help others, and do not give links to illegal content or anything that can lead to illegal content.
8. Think before you post. When you have an idea for a thread or a post, think carefully about what you want to say, and how you want to say it before posting. Also ask yourself if it violates any of the forum rules in the CoC. If you think before your post, your post will have a higher quality and as will the rest of the posts in the forums.
9. When discussing movies, books, or tv shows, give a spoiler warning if your post will disclose any information that could spoil the story. You wouldn't want to have the story spoiled if you didn't already have the information you have, so give them the same consideration.
10. Give proper respect to everyone, especially me. Remember that he's not being paid to do all this work, and are spending countless hours for YOU.
11. Do not resurrect or re-post any thread/post that has been deleted, edited, or closed. Doing so will result in the same moderating action as before. If you do this repeatedly, you may face a temporary ban.
12. Do not revive old or dead threads. If the last post in a thread was made more than 2 months ago the thread is to be considered "old". Create a brand new thread if you really want to talk about the subject more.
13. Do not double, triple post, etc. Use the EDIT button instead of spamming the boards with multiple posts.
14. No posting of warez, cracks, serials or URLs to them. This includes MP3s, applications and games. Any thread containing such posts will be closed.
15. When deciding to post a thread, make sure there isn't already one on the same subject. Also, when asking a question for help on something, first search for an answer on google, and/or check the forums using the "Search" tool to see if the question has already been answered.
16. Do not make threads or posts that boast your alleged "skills". For instance, posting a picture of you with an incredibly good score, and the purpose of this post only being to boast your own talents.
17. Do not make threads or posts requesting someone to do a job for you, such as make you a skin, an avatar, a sig, a replacement mod, etc. Deal with this sort of thing via pm.
18. If you need to contact someone about something, do it via pm. This also includes server complaints
The most important rule:
19. Do NOT disclose ANY information about these maps to anyone NOT on the beta testing team. When in doubt, don't rat out - contact me.
