 General Nintendo 64 Forum RulesWelcome! The following rules will be in effect throughout the entire N64 Category. They are in place to ensure everyone enjoys themselves during their time here on Neoseeker. Please spare a couple of minutes to read them before posting:
Spamming is when you post something that doesn't add anything to the conversation in a forum thread. "Ya", "ok", "lol" and "ahsgdka" are all examples of spamming. This is one of the easier rules to break, so please try to post with meaning and substance when participating in a discussion.
No Flaming
Flaming is when you yell, insult, or harass someone. Yelling can be considered typing in all caps, so please try not to do so. Cussing (cursing) at someone also falls under this category. If there is tension between you and another member of a forum, please PM the member and try to work something out. If that fails, do your best to avoid them.
No Memberating
Memberating is when you act like a moderator when you are not one. It doesn't matter if you were once a moderator or not, don't go throwing your weight around with no power to back yourself up. You can help someone by re-directing them, but no bossing around or threatening, etc. Do not request closure for a thread unless you started it.
No Double Posting
Double posting simply means posting twice in a row without someone else's reply to break your posts up. In the bottom right-hand corner of your post you will see an edit option. Click on that if you feel the need to add to or change anything in your post.
Quality of Posts
Put effort into all of your posts. If correct spelling and grammar are used, people are more likely to help you out! Try to add depth to your replies. Instead of just answering with one word, give reasons to back up your response. If your post isn't of suitable quality, then it will be deleted on sight. Persistent posting of poor quality posts that include text talk will result in a lengthy ban.
No Advertising
I'm pretty sure everyone knows what advertising is, but just in case, advertising is when you tell someone about something (in this case, another website) and try to get others to go there. This is not allowed on the Neoseeker forums, so if you want people to go to a website, you may put it in your profile, signature, or NeoHome. Advertising over NeoPM is also discouraged. If you see someone advertising, please report the message and take the message out of view.
No Game Threads Without Permission
If you want to start a game thread then please PM Dragon or Fluidity first. Game threads need to be well-organized and the moderator needs to make sure the thread doesn't promote spam. Usually when a moderator isn't aware of a game thread, it spirals out of control. If you do not have permission, your game thread will be closed.
No Bypassing
Bypassing a ban is when you are banned on one account but make another so you can post again. You can be and will be caught, and your punishment will only result in a longer ban on any/all accounts. Living out a ban is the best way to go.
Use but don't Abuse the Report! Button
If you come across someone breaking one of these rules, please use the report function. Instead of replying or provoking the rule breaker, reporting a post alerts a moderator so they can deal with the individual as quickly as possible. This function can be abused, which in turn leads to a ban, so please don't report anyone without a reason.
Have Fun!
Last but not least, enjoy yourselves! This is what the forums are all about!
