The Game Zone

[Bluerain89]

Now, A rule of thumb:
This board is supposed to be family friendly. Although we are not going to go insane over a little profanity, remember that people as young as 10/12 may read this board.

Onto the Rules!

Bowser's Kingdom operates on a warnings policy. When you break a rule, you get a warning from a mod in the form of a PM (private message) telling why you have been warned. If you want, you can appeal via PM to the mod who sent you the warning. However, we are usually lenient in giving warnings, so when you get one it is well deserved 9 times out of 10.
If you get 3 warnings, you are banned for a week.
After that week ban, if you get another warning, your username is deleted and you are permanently IP and Email banned from greatforum.12.com.
The whole point of warnings is to let you know that you are using this board incorrectly, not to bash you on a personal or seniority basis.
Remember, Evoryone on here is equal. From the newest newbie to the oldest, crusty oldbie. Hell, Even I have a warning to my name.

Rules:
1) Spamming!
This is a big rule, and it covers:
Posting 1 word/ sentance replies
Posting meaningless replies/ topics
Repeated double posting (remember, you can edit and delete your own posts!)
Posting topics in the wrong forum
Consistent bad spelling/grammar that could have been easily avoided. (ie: No full stops in a post.)

As said before, we are lenient and will not give you a warning for one small mistake that you make..

2) No Discrimination.
this covers:
Racism
Sexism
Religious hatred
Personal flaming
These are all looked on as being very serious. You wouldnt use racist language in real life (and if you did, you would probably be carted off to the police) so do not use it online.

3) 18+ or illegal links/images
Do not post images of an illegal or explicit nature on here. As said before, people as young as 11 or 12 browse these forums. If you want to tell people about somthing funny you found that is a bit risky then link to it and make it clear in your post if it is work safe/ mind safe or explicit.
The last thing we want is a member grounded from using the computer because he clicked on the wrong topic while thier parent was in the room.

4) No member bashing.
I'm repeating myself, but its no fun to have someone continually hi-jack threads flaming another member.

5) No mod bashing.
Us mods get no payment for our labours looking out for the boards, and as such we kindly ask you to respect us. We are not gods, we make mistakes, but dont think you can abuse us.

lastly:
DO NOT BE AFRAID OF STARTING THREADS!
If you have an idea for a discussion topic, serious or not, do not afraid of starting a topic about it. Just make sure it is in the right forum and does not break any of the above rules (which is amazingly easy) and you are all set.

Any ideas/ questions, again, PLEASE PM A STAFF MEMBER!

THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF ALL:
If you are not sure, send a PM (private message) to a mod or admin. For any reason, we will help in any way we can.
