Rules and Guidelines

#1

Welcome to my forum board! It's a quaint little place, so the rules somewhat reflect that.

You must be at least 16 years of age to make an account and post here.
Don't insult, demean, harass, or discriminate against others.
Post topics in the correct subforum. This is particularly strict for political discussion. (If you mess up once or twice, it's fine, but don't do it constantly.)
Piracy is strictly forbidden, as is encouragement or admittance of it. Do not post ROMs, Warez, or anything you would normally need to pay for here. Discussing emulation, fangames, and ROM hacks is fine, including for recent and still-supported systems.
NSFW content is strictly forbidden. I'm not comfortable with it, and you would potentially be exposing minors to it.
Your signature may not exceed 400px in total height, and shouldn't have anything distracting.
Before posting in a subforum, read any stickied topics that might exist there, as they likely contain important info or additional guidelines.
If a topic has been inactive for at least a week, consider whether you're adding anything to the discussion before replying to it.
Any attempts to circumvent the rules, counts as breaking them.
If you are causing problems for others, even if it isn't listed in the rules, you are breaking the rules.

There's no set criteria for how you're punished for breaking the rules. You might receive a warning, you might be restricted from posting, or in particularly bad cases you may simply be permabanned. The only set-in-stone rules are that three accumulated warnings will result in a permaban, and warnings fall off after a year.

If someone is breaking a rule, report the message by clicking the exclamation-mark (!) button on the post. I'll receive the report and look into it. While I'll see your username, your report will remain anonymous.

If you have any account-related questions, feel free to PM me here, or otherwise contact me.
