The Laila Lounge Rules

Site Admin Joined: 13 Apr 2008 Posts: 84

To make this place as pleasant as possible for ALL members, I have come up with some rules for everyone to follow. These are general rules for the entire forum. Individual sections may have section specific rules. Please READ ALL of these and adhere to them. Failure to do so may result in the suspension of posting privileges or a ban. Thanks!

Language
Please use proper English and correct spelling as much as possible. Internet slang or slang spelling is NOT allowed. Substituting spellings for words like your->you are or you->u (these are just a couple of the many out there) are NOT allowed. Also, please do not use bad language/cursing.

Attention Seeking
Posts and replies aimed at nothing more than attention seeking are not allowed. Please do not post and then complain about people not replying or not getting enough replies. Please do not post asking for help and reply shortly after asking why no one has replied.

Searching and FAQ
Use the search feature and read all FAQs before asking a question. There is nothing more tiring than seeing questions that have been answered over and over again. If you expect others to take the time to help you, then please have the courtesy to make sure your question hasn't been answered.

You MAY Reply to Old Threads
Since this is a small forum, please feel free to reply to old threads! In fact, it's encouraged to do so rather than starting a new thread topic on something that's already been discussed.

Posting to Specific People
If you have a question or comment about a specific person, please use the private messaging (pm) feature. Of course interacting person to person in a thread is perfectly fine, just don't use threads as a chat box.

Thread Subjects and Headings
Please use appropriate thread subjects and headings. Misleading or incomplete subjects are not allowed. Please do not use generic headings like "I need help."

Points of View
As much as we want everyone to be able to share their points of view about things, the following is strictly prohibited: racism, sexism, homophobia or any such types of hateful comments and isms.

Excessive Punctuation, Yelling and Other
Posting in all caps is strictly prohibited. Also, no excessive punctuation like help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or question??????????. Also, do not use excessively large font or multi-colors unless you are using them for a specific purpose.

Posts about Illegally Downloaded Games
Stop being so cheap and pay for the game. You get so many hours of enjoyment for the price of the game, it's worth it. If you post questions asking about illegal versions, no cd cracks, etc., you may be banned instantly.

Maturity
We expect all members to behave maturely. Please think before starting new threads or replying. Threads with no discussion value or those started for the sake of starting a thread or increasing post count will be deleted. Members who repeatedly have threads and posts deleted will have their posting privileges suspended. Of course silliness, joking when appropriate and camaraderie building are allowed.

Content
No advertising or spam on threads of this forum.

Posts violating any of these rules will immediately be locked or deleted. There is also a good chance that repeat offenders will lose posting privileges. The worst offenders will get banned from the site.
