Forum Rules

There are only a few simple rules to remember when visiting the forums.

1. -=xXx=- members should be visiting the forums a MINIMUM of once a week. There is a wealth of information that is in our forums. We announce clan promotions, rule changes, clan challenges and other things here. If you're not checking the forums regularly you WILL miss something.

2. No Trolling! If you are unsure what trolling is, it is defined as, "someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion." A warning will first be issued, but if trolling continues, posting rights revoked for 1 week. A second offense will be punished by a 2 week ban from the entire forums. A third offense will result in a permanent ban. This rule applies to forum members and clan members alike.

3. Do not revive old posts. If a post is older than 2 weeks old, please DO NOT post in it. If you continually do this, you will eventually end your posting privileges for a week or two. Continued abuse of it will result in your posting privileges being totally revoked.

4. The 'Cry Me A River' section is for ban appeals ONLY. There shouldn't be anyone posting in there other than the person appealing a ban, the person who banned them and the administrator moderating the matter.

5. While we are all here to have fun, please try to behave in a mature and respectable matter. Respecting all isn't a rule reserved for game play - you are expected to respect your fellow -=xXx=- members and any forum members who are guests in our forums. Forum members are expected to do the same.

6. We are a gaming community focused on having a good time in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. In order to ensure this we do not allow the posting of topics of political, religious or moral issues (abortion, drug legalization, etc). If you violate this rule we will simply remove your offending post. Continued violations of this rule and we will simply remove you.

Most importantly, we are all here to have fun. The rules aren't here to constrict us but rather to set some guidelines to help keep order and to make sure we are all on the same page and we can all enjoy the time we spend on the forums.
