FORUM RULES

[1idgofr]

Welcome to the G2K Games Magic: the Gathering forums. Before you start posting, please make yourself aware of the rules. These forums are meant to be a building block for the Magic community of the Tri-Cities and the surrounding areas.
When posting here, please use common sense and be polite as if the people you are talking to are sitting face to face with you. The following scenarios are frowned upon and could lead to suspensions or bans:

* Spam
A spam post is any post that contributes little or no content to a thread. Spam displays one or more of the following characteristics:
1. Burdens the thread of conversation.
2. Is not clearly relevant to the current topic.
3. Represents a willful attempt to act as a general nuisance to the community as a whole.

* Flaming
"Flaming" is a broad category consisting of various forms of malicious attacks directed at another person. Flaming can consist of, but isn’t limited to, racism, sexism, trolling (attempting to get another user to flame you), derogatory statements, inappropriate language, or other forms of communication that lack the manners and decency needed when posting on this forum. Flaming is not allowed in posts, signatures, avatars, locations, custom titles, etc.

* Signatures and Avatars Offenses
Keep all signatures and avatars G-Rated and no excessive flashing.

* Double Posting, Bumping and Necroing
Please do not post two times in a row on the same topic. Instead, edit the post using the button to add to the first post or the button to respond to several posts at once. Bumping a thread without adding content is not allowed. Also do not post on old and inactive threads which have effectively died and have dropped to the bottom of the forum page or beyond. ("necroing"). For more information about necroing, please read this post, specifically noting the exceptions when necroing is acceptable.

* Evading the Censor
Certain words will be turned into asterisks (*) by the forum software. Do not attempt to get around this by altering the word slightly or inserting an asterisk of your own. If "gris" were a banned word, "gr*s," "gr1s," and "grris" would all be examples of censor evading.

* Mod Text and Evading an Infraction
Bold red and the [mod] tag are reserved for moderator use. Using them will result in an Infraction regardless of intent. The only exception is text that is directly quoting a moderator in a post. If you quote a moderator in your signature, remove the red bold from the text. Also, do not edit your post after a mod has done so. Doing so will result in another Infraction being given.

* Backseat Modding
If you see a post or thread that breaks the rules, hit the button. Don't lecture the person about their broken rule, don't say "This thread should be moved to ____," just report the post and be done with it.

* Invisitext
All posts must be made using fonts and colors that are easily readable on all available forum skins. Posts containing hard to read or invisible font will be edited to be more readable and the poster can be infracted. On the same note, any content violating the forum rules in invisitext is treated the same as a violation not in invisitext.
Note that certain text colors show up differently on the various "skin" options the site has. Please try and ensure that they're visible in all the variations.

* Advertising
Do not link or advertise for competing companies without first asking permission from an administrator.

These rules are liable to change at any time, and by posting on these forums you agree to abide by these rules.
