Forum Rules

1. General Conduct

• Debate and disagreement are allowed, but insults, harassment, personal attacks, hate speech, threats, and intentionally inflammatory posts are not allowed.
• Do not bypass profanity filters or post content that is vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, or unlawful.
• Do not post meaningless threads, one-word spam replies, or repeated posts created only to increase post count.

2. Spam, Advertising and Solicitation

• Advertising, spamming, trolling, referral links, affiliate links, and unsolicited promotions are not allowed.
• Do not use threads, private messages, visitor messages, profiles, signatures, or email features to solicit users.
• Contests, donation requests, marketplace offers, or service promotions may be removed unless explicitly permitted by staff.

3. Illegal or Restricted Content

• Discussion or sharing of piracy, stolen accounts, copyrighted material, illegal downloads, or instructions for illegal activity is not allowed.
• Do not post private credentials, personal data, support tickets, server logins, payment details, or confidential communications.
• Links to unsafe, malicious, adult, exploitative, or community-standard-violating sites may be removed.

4. Accounts and Identity

• Each member may use one account unless staff grants permission. Duplicate accounts may be merged, restricted, or banned.
• Do not impersonate staff, another user, a company, or any public/private person.
• Usernames, avatars, profile fields, and signatures must follow the same standards as posts.

5. Posting Etiquette

• Post in the correct forum and use clear titles. Duplicate threads may be merged, moved, or removed.
• Wait a reasonable time before bumping a topic. Repeated bumping may be treated as spam.
• If you post in a language other than the main forum language, staff may ask for a translation or move the thread.

6. Signatures and Avatars

• Signatures must be compact, readable, and not disruptive. Staff may remove oversized, misleading, or promotional signatures.
• Avatars may not imitate official staff badges or contain offensive, explicit, misleading, or copyrighted material.
• Animated or visually disruptive profile assets may be restricted if they affect usability.

7. Moderation

• Moderators may edit, move, close, hide, or remove content when needed to enforce rules or keep the forum usable.
• Public arguments about moderation decisions are not allowed. Use private messages or the contact page to appeal respectfully.
• Access to the forum is a privilege. Serious or repeated violations may lead to warnings, restrictions, suspension, or bans.

8. Rule Changes

These rules cannot cover every possible situation. Staff may take appropriate action against behavior that disrupts the forum, harms users, creates legal risk, or abuses the community. We may update these rules as the needs of the community change.
