- Don't post anything that is racist/sexist/creedist...basically stuff that is just meant to offend people. I think we've all been on boards like that and it generally sucks. This could get you banned for a few days or banned permanently based on the seriousness of the offense.

- Posts advocating that you or someone else should kill themselves, kill someone else, destroy property, or otherwise advocate violence against someone else is punishable by ban.

- Just generally watch your language.

- Don't post anything copywritten, or post links to hacks or stolen music/videos/books/anything. Keep in mind we are making a game here and we have partnerships with companies that will make our game awesome that could be adversely affected by that sort of thing. We want to maintain those relationships and make an awesome game for you. This will get you banned. Probably permanently.

-No spam. No one likes spam. No one is going to buy your 1/2 price pharmaceuticals, your opinions on penny stock garbage, or your inane spam poetry of random words. First of all it isn't rock, second of all it is the worst possible way to advertise to a person. This is an immediate permanent ban and we will forward your weird foreign IP to the appropriate parties. We may also have a party at your house when you aren't there and break your stuff.

-Just say no to console wars. It is beneath all of us to track that mud in here.

-Discussions of a commercial nature are strictly out of bounds. This includes ads for selling your gear, links to Ebay auctions, and sale/trade of online redeemable codes.

-If you wish to solicit community opinions using the poll feature, the poll needs to have a full and fair range of objective answers. To do otherwise is misleading and grounds for removal of the poll.

-Quoting an objectionable post is the same as posting it yourself. Don't do it. Report it, and move on.

-Have fun and start networking. This is imperative.
