Rules.

[Hells Guardian]

1.) Avoid bumping threads. Double posting is only allowed in threads where a running total or site information is provided. For example, the 'Unhacked Gamecube Titles' thread or any threads involving the upgrading of the forums or main site. Also, please try not to 'necropost', or post in dead (no new posts in weeks/months) threads. Necroposting is only allowed if you have something meaningful to contribute to that topic (for example, a code for a dead code thread).

2.) Treat other members with respect. The line between jest and seriousness is easy to see.

3.) Keep posts in the relevant forums.

4.) Locking topics must be justified with a fellow administrator or moderator.

5.) Moderators and administrators have been appointed and are expected to be treated with respect.

6.) Any harassment of other users will be dealt in an efficient and organized manner. We will get you shutdown from your ISP!

7.) Not all code requests can be filled immediately. Some games are harder to hack than others, we are not obligated to hack a game.

8.) Do not try to take credit for another's work. As hackers we pride ourselves in our work.

9.) Any abuse of the PM system reported will result in a punishment. This includes your right to report them.

10.) When reporting, if you do not include a legit reason for such you will be asked and if you fail to respond it may result in a ban depending on the number of reports given. This includes both PMs and posts, and sending me spam is also not to be tolerated. If you use any email obtained here to spam me or any other staff member, you may be banned.

11.) Please donate to Rune for his game hacking and for GSC. Note any and all donations will go towards buying unhacked Gamecube games and helping make GSC a better place. (I didn't think it was possible for GSC to get better though)

12.) If you have a comment on a member please keep any that are considered offensive confined to Town Hall. FYI this doesn't mean go all out and be an absolute ass. You are allowed to speak your mind in that board but please don't go overboard; this means any continuous flaming will be dealt with.

13.) This rule applies to the suggestion board. It is highly recommended before posting that you read to ensure you're not repeating an earlier topic. If we find that the topic has already been brought up the new post will be locked.

14.) One account per person. Re-registering under a different account will result in a ban to that user and a call to your ISP regarding your misbehavior on these forums.

15.) Use only 1 topic per game please. It makes the chances of your request being seen even greater. this rule doesn't apply to a hackers submitions.

16.) Any advertising of any competing websites will result in an immediate ban and/or deletion. However, adding a link to your personal site in your signature is fine. Just coming here to advertise though is not okay. It is allowable to post a link to your forum in the proper thread.

17.) Do not use the shoutbox as a means of bypassing any rules of the forum. It is not the place for you to request things. It is meant for real time conversion with the members. Please keep it that way.

18.) Please, do not reveal game spoilers to those who don't want the game spoiled for them. If you have something you wish to spoil, please use the [spoiler] tags. However, if the entire thread is marked as *spoilers*, the [spoiler] tags are not necessary unless you are spoiling something from a different game (ie giving spoilers from Earthbound in a Mother 3 spoiler thread). Also, please mark what game the spoilers come from when using the spoiler tags.

I have polished what you have said above:

Guidelines:

1) Avoid bumping threads. Double posting is only allowed in threads where a running total or site information is provided. For example, the unhacked gamecube titles thread or any threads involving the upgrading of the forums or main site.
2) Treat other members with respect. The line between jest and seriousness is easy to see.
3) Keep posts in the relevant forums.
4) Locking topics must be justified with a fellow administrator.
5) Moderators and administrators have been appointed and are expected to be treated with respect.
6) Any harassment of other users over PM will be dealt in an efficient and organized manner.
6) Not all code requests can be filled immediately. Some games are harder to hack than others. We are not obligated to hack a game.

[Hells Guardian]

much clearer. and thats why you the head admin of GSC. lol

[Rune]

7) Please donate to my Paypal if this site has ever helped you. Even $5 U.S. would make the difference between purchasing a game and being broke for two weeks. Otherwise, I will not be able to pick up all of the unhacked NTSC Gamecube titles until much, much later.

[Hells Guardian]

8.) Do not try to take credit for anothers work. As hackers we pride ourselfs in our work.

lol I forgot that that little 8 with a ) makes the cool smilly. okay now it's better. 8)

[Hells Guardian]

9) Any abuse of the PM system reported will Result in a punishment. This includes your right to report them.

10) when reporting if you do not include a ligit reason for such you will be asked and if you fail to respond it may result in a ban depending on the number of reports given. This includes both PMs and posts. and sending me spam is also not to be tolerated. If you use any email obtained here to spam me or any other staff member you may be banned.

To sum it all up be respectful and don't spam.

Is it against the rules to post in the rules? The topic not being locked sure doesn't repel the people.

New rule: It's okay to swear!

[Hells Guardian]

Yes it is but in moderation. I wouldn't recomend posting fuck multiple times for no reason.

[Mike The Poet]

I fucking won't!

Huh, I guess I should stop posting here, heh? And how about updating the first post with all the good rules? It's not helping when the member has to search through multiple posts to read the rules.

[Hells Guardian]

Good Point.

[Mike The Poet]

Glad I could help.

[Admin Man]

Any advertising of any competing websites will result in an immediate ban and/or deletion.

[Pamizard]

Any advertising of any competing websites will result in an immediate ban and/or deletion.

just a curious question. I know my websites aren't going to compete this one so its okay to advertise in my sig right?

[Mike The Poet]

This post is boring. Has to be deleted. Rune keeps editing.

[Hells Guardian]

adding a link to your sig is fine. However just coming here to advertise is not okay. It is alowwable to post a link to your forum in the propper thread.

[Stungun]

You have two #6 rules, thought I'd let you know.

[The Roaming Gnome]

Maybe Rune meant something like this:

6) Any harassment of other users over PM will be dealt in an efficient and organized manner.
6.A) Not all code requests can be filled immediately. Some games are harder to hack than others. We are not obligated to hack a game.

[Hells Guardian]

thats likely my fault. I'll fix it in a moment.

[Hells Guardian]

whatever number) Use only 1 topic per game please. It makes the chances of your request being seen even greater. this rule doesn't apply to a hackers submitions.

[Link500]

Can we curse? Do yis class bollocks as a curse?

[Hells Guardian]

of course we can. We just can't do it just for the sake of doing it. Say every post you just slipped a word in there just for the sake of cursing. However to just say Fuck if theres a problem or if someone is pissing you off in town hall and you call them a fucking idiot or a dumbass is fine.

[Hells Guardian]

A new add on to the rules in a second.

[Mike The Poet]

I find it funny how people post that much in the RULES topic. And I find it funny how HG always leaves "POLITICS" with a mistake in it in his signature.

[Admin Man]

Closing this so that only administrators can reply.

[Hells Guardian]

what about mods?

nevermind I just answered that. anyways thats a good plan. It is getting fairly annoying.

I don't really require donations anymore. All of the unhacked NTSC Gamecube titles I have purchased.
