Max Payne 2: Rules & Regulations
Rules v0.1

All of the following rules and guidelines are to be followed and abided by, by each and every member and guest that chooses to visit this forum. If you have a question pertaining to one of the rules, feel free to PM the section moderator, Ryguy13.


Rules

1. Spamming – There will be no tolerance whatsoever for spamming in this forum. It is big enough as it is, and lately lots of people think it is cool to be the top poster of the forum. Moderators will be on specific watch for anyone posting anything irrelevant or off topic messages in the forum. If someone chooses to disregard one of the rules and proceed to break one of them, and I am not around, use the report feature to the best of your abilities. Abuse of the feature will result in disciplinary measures against you.
   
   
2. Off Topic Posts - If you post something which has no relevance to the thread's original purpose or question, your post will be deleted without prior warning. If someone posts something off topic, there is no need to flame them. Simply redirect them to the proper thread and/or forum.
   
   
3. Duplicate Threads – Be sure to check the Topic Listings floated at the top of this forum as well as search the forum, before posting new messages.
   
   
4. Flaming – Types of flaming include, but are not limited to swearing, name calling, impoliteness, charged outbursts, and any behavior that can be interpreted as hostile to another member of the forum. If someone asks a question, there is no need to slam them if it is a question that is asked a lot. Politely answer them and remind them to check around next time.
   
   
5. Memberating – Memberating is the act of of members trying to take charge of a forum. Whether it is by suggesting on banning someone, or by simply requesting thread closures. People seem to love taking matters into their own hands in place of a moderator. Don't do it. Redirecting is okay, as long as it isn't with a request for a thread closure. Moderators do not like people requesting for closures. Remember, redirecting someone to the proper discussion is not considered memberating.
   
   
6. Advertising – Advertising is not allowed on Neoseeker.

   14. Do not advertise other websites. Advertising through posts is strictly forbidden. This may only be done through your personal Profile, Custom Title or Signature. Advertising another website through NeoPM to unsolicited Visitors who you are unknown to, in an attempt to raise traffic, is also not permitted. Members who link to outwar.com or any other type of referral site will lose posting rights on their account permanently.

   Posts advertising anything outside of Neoseeker will be closed/deleted on site.
   
   
7. Circumvention of a Ban – If you are banned from this forum, in no way are you allowed to make another account with the intent to bypass the original ban. All of your known accounts will be permanently banned from all forums on the website if you choose to attempt to dodge a ban on your original account. If you think you can get away with it, you are wrong. Administration knows who you are, and they will go to every extent to keep you out of the forums if you have been banned. If you continually insist on bypassing the bans, your internet service provider will be contacted and you could be left with no internet.
   
   
8. Impersonation & Creating New Accounts – Impersonating of a another member or moderator is not allowed. This rule is in conjunction with the forum wide rule as well. These types of cases will not be taken lightly. Creating new accounts in attempt to break the rules is also strictly not allowed. Again, moderators and administration know who you are; there is no way around it.
   
   
9. Chatting – Do not post irrelevant messages back and forth. If you want to speak with an individual member of the forum, please take advantage of the NeoPM feature. You can gain access to you're my.neoforum by clicking the my.neoforum link at the top of the page.
   
   
10. Message Colors – Another which isn't exactly a rule, but nonetheless, it is something you should definitely know. Please don't post in bright colors making it hard to read your post. Post in a sensible color if you must; one that will be clear on the final post.

Disciplinary Actions

Members who break any of the above rules or any of the Forum Wide Rules will be dealt with on a case per case system. Obviously, repeat offenders will be handled more harshly. No one breaking any of the rules will be overlooked in any circumstance.

Ending Note

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ryguy13 through a PM.
