Hey Andy here, your 1st in Command OverLord, this is a list of the forum rules, please read through them and make sure you abide by them.

*NOTE - All banable offenses have 1 warning, after which, you will be suspended(suspension length depends on severity of what has been done) or banned permanently or for a much lengthier time than a suspension. Also note that bans from this site ban IPs, meaning you will be unable to register new accounts to cause any further problems to us, once you're gone, you're gone, so think before you post.*

1. All guests visiting the forums are asked to register.

2. All people registering must register with a unique (If possible) name, with no numbers etc. If possible refrain from racial abbreviations in names such as Azn etc. as it can, very rarely, but still can, cause problems which we would like to keep to a minimum.

3. All posts/polls MUST be posted in the relevant board, if they aren't it creates extra (and unnecessary work) for myself, other OverLords and Admin ranked members.

4. No Block Capital topic names (Or usernames)

5. Topic names must describe what the topic is about, not be irrelevant or it will be removed, or if you're lucky moved and renamed appropriately (causing unnecessary work/problems
for myself, other OverLords and Admin ranked members.)

6. Any polls must be posted with the "Question Mark" post symbol.

7. Any users found flaming posts will be suspended/banned or demoted, flaming is an unnecessary thing and will not be tollerated, if you have a difference of opinion that's perfectly alright, word it as such (For example - Someone has a strat on a game you think isn't great or could be improved, tell them how it could be improved and why you believe it's not so good, don't just say something like, "That strats **** you're a noob" etc., this isn't helpful and just causes stress and many problems.)

8. Abusive posts etc, will be removed and users posting them will also be removed or suspended, this also goes for any inappropriate postings of pornographic pictures/videos, this isn't the place for that and never will be.

9. Any user sending private mail which is abusive and is brought to our attention will also receive a suspension/ban, this is cowardly and unnecessary.

10. Anyone who refuses to follow OverLords/Emperors/Imperials/Generals Orders will be suspended/banned from our forums.

Basically, Abuse in any form will not be tollerated, users found being abuse to others will be suspended/banned.

Those who abide by the rules will be rewarded for this, promotions, prizes (in-game and out! can be received)

Our community is a fair, friendly one and users who try to make it otherwise will be suspended/banned from our forums whilst those who uphold the rules will be rewarded.

*Update*

From now on all boards placed in catagories that are inappropriate or boards which have no use will be deleted without notice, all topics posted will be removed, re-named or reposted and marked as previously inappropriate.
Examples
- Boards/Topics posted with inappropriate names will be deleted/re-named
- Boards/Topics placed in inappropriate places or catagories will be deleted/moved

Preferably any members who wishes to add a new board should speak to myself before posting it, I created these forums and would like it if you would help me keep it in order and not in a mixed up mess with catagories filled with boards and posts with no relevance to anything or any body.

Further more, all new games etc. which are added to our archives will be subject to a leadership vote, this means you do not just appoint yourself leader of a section, you tell others you are going to have it added or would like it added and the player deemed best fitting to the job will be appointed leader, you will not be made leader of the section(s) just because you are the one who asked for the board/catagory to be created. The person who will be made leader will be our member with the best leadership skills (primarily) and who also has experience of the game (a player who has the best experience may not be made leader if they show signs of being a bad leader, bad listener etc.) but also a player who has good leadership skills but has little to no experience of the game in question will not be appointed leader unless there is no one who has any experience of the game or has insufficient leadership skills. People can be promoted/demoted if someone who is better suited for the job comes along or an existing member develops their leadership skills or skills in the game in question beyond that of the current leader. These rules do not apply to the sections MMORPG Gaming (Lead by Myself) or XboxLive Gaming (Lead by Myself, Dylan and Ryan) or other major catagory unless an OverLord/Emperor etc. must be removed due to gross misconduct or is deemed unfit for the community or leaves for any reason.

People who continuously break these rules will be demoted, people who continue to do so after demotion will be placed in the banned catagory and will be unable to post at all.
Anyone who is abusive toward ANYONE in ANY way when it is unprovoked or unnecessary will be suspended/banned from the forums, this applies to EVERYONE, from Initiates - OverLords. These forums are friendly and safe ones, we do not and will not tolerate any forms of abuse, any members experiencing abuse contact myself immediately.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

All times stated are rough times and can be altered as necessary by myself, I follow up complaints, I do the banning, no one else, so if anyone has any problems with them now, or after they've received a suspension or ban, direct all your words towards me as I am the only person who can do anything about it and am the sole person who is responsible for them so if you feel like shouting abuse at someone cause you got banned, there's only one person you can do it to and that's me. This doesn't bother me, any abuse only lengthens your suspension or turns it into a full ban, and trust me, nothing you can say will do anything more than make me laugh. So don't try it. I'm here to provide a gathering place and community for friendly gamers and help those who are less experienced, not give a place to abusive, nasty individuals, these people will not be tolerated and as stated before will be suspended or banned.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Any questions/suggestions/complaints on this matter please feel free to ask (Private mail or my e-mail in my signature as you can't reply here, locked). If you feel you have been wrongly banned, I will happily review what happened and if I or anyone else was mistaken in their judgement etc. I will reinstate you're rank and privelleges immediately! This is a friendly place, I intend to keep it that way.

Anyone who would like to report abuse, you can flag abusive posts and we will get on it as soon as we see that it has been flagged. Any other forms of abuse, e-mail or private mail me and i'll get onto it as soon as I receive the mail!

Thank you once again, I know this has been a long piece of reading, but I need to make my intentions clear and make sure people know what is and isn't tolerated and what penalties (and rewards if good) different behaviours can incur.

Happy Gaming!
