General Rules for the entire Goozex Forum
Welcome
to the Goozex Forum! Here in the Announcements forum, users are
able to post comments pertaining to Announcements brought to you by the Goozex Team.
This forum is ONLY to be used for Announcement related discussions.
If
you have a question regarding your experience with the Goozex site, its
features or something general, please visit the Help & Support
forum. (Before making a new post, search through previous posts to
check that your question has not been brought up, or better yet,
answered.)
If you believe that you have come across a serious
problem or glitch with either the Goozex site or forums, please let the
staff know by emailing them at forum AT goozex.com. When emailing the staff, please be very clear and detailed about your description of the problem and/or glitch.
If
you notice another Goozex member flaming, spamming, posting obscene
pictures and any other inappropriate material that does not comply with
the Terms of Use , please select/click on the “Report Abuse to a Moderator” link at the bottom of the post in question.
If
you would like to make a post or read topics other than gaming or if
you‘re new and just want to say hello and chat about anything with
users, you may post it on the Other Interests forums.
Rules For Posting
• Do not ignore moderator/admin warnings.
Any
posts/comments that, in mods/admins sole judgment, appear to violate
the Forum Rules may be deleted without notice. Goozex reserves the
right to end any posting privileges and limit or terminate access to
anyone for any reason at any time without notice.
• Mistreatment or abuse of Goozex staff is strictly prohibited.
Goozex
Moderators/admins are here to help out the community. At no point do
they deserve abuse. On another end, if you feel you are being unfairly
treated by moderators or admins please contact NinjaJ, the Goozex
Community Manager.
• Warning!
Do not! Post anything racist in nature, including pictures and
comments. No sexual harassment or personal threats. This will not be
tolerated; therefore it will result in permanent ban from the forums.
• Limit your flaming.
Controversial
or hot discussions are welcome at Goozex, but directly insulting or
badmouthing another member is not. Please do not humiliate or
discourage other members on the forum by commenting to their posts with
things such as "You are a "dumbass", etc. Avoid excessive cursing when
posting on the forums. If you commit this act, moderators have ground
for post deletions and/or permanent bans.
• Be aware of where and what you are posting!
Do
not generate unnecessary comments/threads with no redeeming value to
the community or yourself (SPAM) such as 'Get a Free Wii from me!'?
This also pertains to bump posts, to get your thread to the top, one is
ok, but when it becomes a repetitive occasion, you run the risk of
having your thread or comment removed. DO NOT produce off-topic threads
or posts. That’s what the Off Topic boards are for. Same with Wii
threads on the Playstation threads or Comics threads on a TV section.
Please make an effort to stay on the topic you are posting in reference
to the thread.
• Do
not cause trouble on the forum. Being a trouble maker just because you
feel like it is a great way to get immediately removed from the forum.
DO NOT create inflammatory posts obviously intended to start a fight or
get a reaction. Malicious users or those that obviously signed up to
ridicule others will get banned on the spot, without warning.
• No Porn/Nudity
Warning!
Any type of post that includes pornographic/hentai sites or images will
be immediately removed as well as the author too. DO NOT post, link or
make available anything that could be considered, defamatory, obscene,
pornographic, abusive, and offensive or otherwise violates any law or
right of any third party, in violation of the law or in violation of
any of the other forum rules. Avatars that contain nudity, sexually
explicit materials or sexual acts are prohibited.
• No CD cracks, hacks, or "warez."
Do
not discuss or post links to sites that have software or other material
protected by intellectual property laws (or by rights of privacy of
publicity) that could potentially violate copyright laws. If you think
it's a questionable link, don't post it. Do not ask for CD keys or help
with mod chips. Goozex has a Zero Tolerance Policy regarding video game and any other type of piracy!
• Advertising will result in deletions, locks, and bans.
DO
NOT create advertisement threads/posts for off site things such as
clubs, websites, contests, etc. (NOTE: You may advertise your personal
site in your signature.) DO NOT send unsolicited private messages to
our members advertising things such as off site clubs, contests, etc.
•
Lastly, when you registered with these forums, you agreed to the Terms
of Use, and all material submitted to the forums are subject to the
TOU, which is located here: Terms of Use
If
you're unsure about something you're about to post, you probably
shouldn't post it. You're always welcome to ask a mod before posting if
you're unsure.
Rules Regarding Signature Content
Images
should be NO LARGER than 600 (this amount is arbitrary and up for
discussion, mods) pixels wide by 100 pixels high. If you're not using
an image, please contain your signature to no more than 6 lines of
text. Please keep the file size fewer than 100kb.
Regarding the
content of signatures: Keep the images in your sigs strictly PG-13
rated. This means no nudity, close forms of nudity; swear words, or
anything that may be considered foul or derogatory. Anything embedded is not allowed. Aside from that, your signature must follow the guidelines set forth in the Terms of Use. First offense will be a warning; second offense will be removal of sig privileges.
Note: The aforementioned rules are subject to change at ANY time with or without prior notice to the community.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact the following moderators: NinjaJ, Blackcoyote, zannabianca.
