Let's start:
- NETTIQUETTE -
* be nice / friendly
* try to be helpful
* if you got problems with some members DON'T flame
* if a relatively new member did something wrong, please direct him to these rules and/or report the rule-violating post by clicking on this icon without insulting/flaming him
* if you have a question you don't want to post on the forum, feel free to PM a moderator; he will do his best to help you
- RULES / CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATIONS -
* if you post files which include trojans / keyloggers etc you definitely will get banned instantly
* if you flame / insult other members you will get an infraction
* if you post a question in a release section (which is marked with [NO QUESTIONS]) you get a warning / infraction (if it was your first time you'll get a warning , if you continue doing this you'll get an infraction)
* referrer links are forbidden; if you post one it will be considered spam and will end up in an infraction
* advertising without a link back to elitepvpers is forbidden and will be punished with an infraction (warning if it's for the first time)
* Advertising similar sites to elitepvpers is forbidden and will result in a ban (it doesn't matter if you've put a backlink on that site).
* Advertising your own forum hosted at a free-forum provider is not allowed.
* if you post racist comments, you will receive an infraction (a ban in harder cases)
* Baiting other members is forbidden, if you have a problem with another member please use our complaint forum to solve the conflict.
* if you want to spam, go to the offtopic and post there, but remember that even the off-topic is not a unlegislated area! Spamming in other areas will end up in infractions / warnings
* posting warez is forbidden, the violation of this rule usually leads to an infracton for the first time and a ban if you continue; requesting warez also is not allowed, if you do so you'll get an infraction
* doubleposting, or pushing up really old topics is not allowed and ends up in an infraction / a warning
* using survey download mirrors (e.g. sharecash) is prohibited unless there is another mirror option
* posting pornopraphic content (no matter what your definition of pornographic content is) will be punished with an infraction and in harder cases a ban
* using any avatar/signature/usertitle which could make members think you are a member of the staff though you are not, is forbidden and is to be punished with an infraction or in harder cases a ban
* abusing your avatar to add fake or custom ranks/badges isn't allowed
* abusing the thanks-system is prohibited; you are not allowed to sell or buy thanks from another member, only give thanks for useful posts!
* if you have 3 active infraction-points you will receive a ban
- Spoiler:
#1. USE THE SEARCH BUTTON Rather than wasting everyones time and asking a question that has already been answered take the time to look though the forums. Focus on the key words your looking for like "Database" or "Pets".
#2 If you do not find what you are looking for by searching then go to the stickied all things guide and look there. You will be surprised with what you can find if you take the time.
#3 DO NOT THREATEN other servers with DDoS Attacks. That is just immature and completely ignorant. It is also an automatic infraction.
#4 NO FLAMING. If you cant say something nice then dont say squat. Its better to be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
#5NO NECROPOSTING(to post in a thread that has been "dead", by being inactive for a relatively long period.) There is no need for it and it causes problems.
#6 Do Not make posts like "[Help]... what the topic says". If you do need help then post with as much detail as you can manage. Not just one or two words, That way people can actually try to help you.
#7. NO DRAMA If you have an issue with a server take it up with the server in question. Elitepvpers is not here for you to whine, complain, or generally badmouth a server. I figured i didnt have to state this obvious rule but for some reason people like to use the "my post was completely within the rules as posted". Hello this rule is common sense.
#8. DO NOT CREATE SEARCHING FOR SERVER THREADS If you can not take the time to look at the thread that Admin STICKIED Thread and trying out the servers yourself you can plan to get infracted. That thread was made for a reason and it is updated quite often.
#9. No advertising of any type unless it has a linkback to the forums. This rule is already stated on the actual board rules but since some people love to claim "its not in the rules" Now its there in plain sight. If you cant see it now or you choose to ignore it. The conaquences that result are your own fault. If you are going to advertise, your linkback must be obviously noticeable via banner, etc. Not just a text link via a href. PLEASE NOTE that the link back just has to be on the main page not every page. As long as it is the first thing they notice when on the main page its all good
#10. If any mod changes your post for any reason (such as putting spoilers in your thread because you have 20+ pictures) it is done for a reason. The first time you change it back I will just redo it and leave you a verbal warning and put the spoilers back in. If you do it again i will infract you and delete the thread. Use the [spoiler ] [/ spoiler] tags people. they are ment to prevent people from having to scroll forever and a day just to get to the bottom of a post. This is your only warning about it there are no other warnings.
