The Terms of Use, finally.
Last Updated September 21, 2014
1. NO PORNOGRAPHY.
2. No images from the Fappening.
3. No viruses.
4. ROMs are allowed if they are not available easily in physical form. i.e. a ROM of Super Mario Bros. is allowable, but not one of New Super Mario Bros. U. If it's on the Wii, 3DS, or Wii U, don't post it. If the company hasn't taken action on ROMs, post it.
5. Swearing is allowed.
6. Derogatory terms and racial slurs ARE NOT ALLOWED and repeated use of them will result in an immediate ban. Using the N-word in a non-derogatory term or quoting something that contains it is allowable.
7. If you attempt to evade a ban or IP ban, you will not be allowed back until we decided you have served your punishment.
8. The following users from other sites are banned: thecoolestchris of LUE2, Cookie Bag of GameFAQs, Foo_Fighters of GameFAQs, Error1355 of GameFAQs.
9. Sir Patchy of LUE2, if he makes an account, is to be granted New Moderator status.
10. SomeLikeItHoth, JustMyOpinion, and Sillyknees of GameFAQs, if they make an account here, are to be granted New Moderator status.
11. Linking to 4chan and reddit are allowed, but not to pornographic sites. Celeb Jihad is the limit, so to speak.
Reasons for Moderation
1. Moderator Discretion
If it is possible you have violated the Terms of Use, we may moderate you. If it is determined not to be a ToU violation, then we will restore it.
2. Flaming
Insulting, mocking, harassing, calling users names, etc. is considered flaming and will be moderated.
3. Trolling
Trolling is not allowed. Harassing a user who is, for example, pansexual, by posting a picture of a pan and asking if they are turned on by it is an example of trolling. You also cannot go on the Nintendo board and simply say "Nintendo sucks" or do the same on the Microsoft board. However, if you say "Nintendo is inferior because [insert reason here]" and you have an actual argument, it isn't trolling.
4. Harassment
Following a user around and insulting them, calling them names, threatening them, calling them a welcher, etc. is harassment.
5. Stalking
Stalking is defined as following a user on the boards and posting in every one of their topics, friending them, and continually following them around on the boards. Exceptions are made if the user can prove it is not stalking or if it is for a reason that is not stalking (i.e. for an article, etc.)
6. Privacy
You are allowed to post your own personal information (address, name, location, date of birth, image of yourself, etc.) but not of someone else.
7. Advertising
You MAY advertise your forums or website on the boards, but you cannot advertise a program or application, ESPECIALLY if it is a virus, malware, spyware, a Trojan horse, or adware. Malicious applications/programs are not allowed on the boards. Pyramid schemes, drugs, scams, or referral IDs are not allowed.
8. Illegal Activities
Illegal Activites includes:
A) Admitting to using tobacco products under the age of 18,
B) Admitting to using marijuana products under the age of 18 outside states where it is legal or in cases where it is not medical-related or in a state where it is not legal at all,
C) Admitting to drinking alcoholic beverages under the age of 21 intentionally (accidents happen),
D) Admitting to committing a crime.
It does not include emulation, etc.
9. Offensive Posting
Usage of racial slurs or derogatory terms is not allowed. However, reclaimed words are allowed. You cannot say "******" but you can say "nigga", etc.
You also may not insult women.
Any racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise offensive posts will be moderated harshly. Asking a question about one's sexual preference is allowed, insulting or trolling them about it is not.
The Unholy Trinity of LUE (goatse, tubgirl, and harlequin fetus) is not to be posted.
10. Flooding
Posting the same thing repeatedly on the same board is not allowed.
11. Board Invasion
If it is not malicious and is harmless, it is allowed. If it gets ugly, we will step in.
12. Disruptive Behavior
Shitposting is allowed, it can be pretty entertaining. Continually harassing somebody and posting the same thing (or relatively the same thing) in every topic they make is disruptive posting. Fads and memes are not disruptive. Rickrolling, etc. is allowed.
13. Plot Spoilers
Spoilers without warning is prohibited, unless it is on a board where spoilers do not need to be identified as such.
14. Impersonation
Do not impersonate other board users.
