Gladiatus.ph Board Rules
Each User agrees with his/her registration to the following
board rules.
Every offense against the rules of the Forums ( not following
general rules and of course the special rules for some subforums)
may lead to a warning. The Administrators of the forums have the
right to ban accounts on the forums and maybe even ingame and
on IRC in extreme cases. The interpretation of the rules is up to
the board team.
- Every User may register and use one account. Multiple registrations and usage of several accounts may lead to a banning of all accounts.
- After receiving the third warning, an account may be banned up to 2 weeks, in extreme cases longer. The circumventing of the ban by registering a second account is not allowed. An account may get banned permanently if the user receives again several warnings after the account was unlocked.
- In extreme cases, it is possible that a User will get banned without having several warnings.
- Editing a post after a warning was given (this includes removing or editing the warning) is against the rules and can lead to a ban from the forums.
Attitude on the forums
To guarantee a relaxed atmosphere between all
participants on the forum, some posting restrictions
are needed.
- The Board language is English, and only English. Exception: Filipino phrases or foreign languages will be allowed ONLY if there is a correct translation enclosed in parentheses. Thread titles must be in English.
New Rule: Filipino or Taglish may be allowed if the section is being handled by a Filipino moderator.
- SPAM. Spam is any sentence, phrase or word that does not belong to the topic and does not contribute to any information that can help the players regarding the topic.
Any phrase that does not exceed four words will be considered as SPAM. Examples: "Congrats", "I agree." "Yes." Emoticons will not be counted as a word.
SPAM is not allowed and may lead to a warning. An exception of this is the Spamboard.
- BACKSEAT MODDING. These are postings which point out violations of the rules. Only the board team is allowed to do this.
- Posthunting ( posting just to get a higher postcount) results in a warning or in extreme cases, a direct ban. Posting twice within the allowable time to re-edit the original post shall be considered Posthunting.
- Flaming, trolling, offenses against other users or staff and inappropriate language are punishable in the whole forum.
Trolling is posting controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal topic discussion.
- The board team holds the right to censor threads. This will be marked in the relevant post.
- Reposting of a subject that was already closed is not allowed. If you wish to post in it, ask the moderator who closed it to reopen the thread. Likewise, posting a thread on the exact same subject as another thread is not allowed. Use the search button to check if your topic has already been discussed.
- Spamming of emoticons and images is not allowed due to the fact that it may freeze peoples’ computers. No more than 5 emoticons shall be allowed on each post. Images or postings which are too large (meaning one has to scroll vertically or/and horizontally to read it all) are not allowed.
- Discussion of bans or warnings are not permitted in the public forums. This may result in further bans or warnings. Please discuss these issues with the moderator involved or their superior on the board only.
- Requests to unban ingame accounts are not to be discussed anywhere on the forums. Please contact the Game Operator who banned you via pm or email.
- Posting contents and links of pornographic, politically extremist, immoral and offensive material which may breach applicable laws are forbidden.
- It is also not allowed to post keys, hacks, cracks or other things of illegal nature, including illegal download pages and "warez". Discussion of such items will lead to an immediate warning.
- It is not allowed to post private conversations (board PM, IRC, MSN, ingame PM) without the consent of the other party.
- Moderators may remove any pictures deemed to be oversized at any time. No more than 5 pictures may be placed inside any single post.
- Due to information that may need to be passed on to users, the Team may sometimes have a extension on the size of the image, or text placed in the signature.
- Advertisement and linking to non-GF games is not allowed on the whole forums, including the PC Forum. Links to games with the aim to count every visitor are not allowed.
- Mug links are only allowed in signatures on this board.
- If you feel warned unfairly, first PM the Mod who gave the warning. After 24 hours in which there was no response, you may contact the Super Moderator. In extreme cases, you have the right to talk to the Board Admin. The Board Admin’s word is final. Follow the hierarchy, or you may be ignored. Please include all previous communication to the messages.
- Impersonation of a Staff member (Name, Avatar, Signature) may lead to a warning or in extreme cases to a ban.
Signatures
Signature Pictures may not exceed the following measurements
Height: 100 px - Width: 500 px
OR
Height: 150 px - Width: 450
Datafile can't exceed: 80 kb
- Anything that is used to circumvent the rules, means posting at the end of the post siglike pictures and other that makes the sig appear larger, is not allowed.
- Staff members may be permitted to have larger signatures at the discretion of the Administration.
Notes
- Board Administrators and Smods (in emergencies) have ban rights (sigs and Users), Custom Title and user name Changing rights.
- The Staff reserves the right to change rules when they deem it necessary.
- The use of these forums is a privilege not a right. Administrators reserve the right to do what they think is best for the forums.
