Forum Rules

Log in to remove this sponsored message In order to make the Classic Gaming Forum a pleasant place to post, some rules must be in place. If there are any questions, please PM Feisar. Rules List: 1: Abide by Neoseeker Forum Rules
If there is too much off-topic discussion in the classic gaming threads, the particular thread in question will be closed, and moderator approval will be needed to restart the thread.
These are allowed to a certain state, if they are not within the first five pages or so, by all means, create another, but once we have too many of the same thread, if you make a new one, it will be deleted. The moderator on duty will decide whether your thread stays or is deleted. Use the search function to find the thread you want before creating a new one.
Should you double post, your post will either be deleted or merged with your previous post. Should you continue to break this rule, sanctions will be handed out.
You can post about any console up to the Sega Dreamcast. Gamecube, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii etc. are all not allowed to be posted about. If you post about a new generation console or game outside of the General Discussion, your post will be deleted/your thread will be closed.
quote ExampleThis is not tolerated, and will result in a ban. If you advertise, your post/thread will be deleted. So, what is allowed? If you wish to provide information to another member, you are allowed to post a simple link to an external webpage, nothing more, just as long as it isn't advertising anything, it's fine.
Here is an example of flaming: quote ExampleThis is not tolerated, as we wish for the forum to be a pleasant experience. If you do flame someone, expect to be dealt with properly.
This isn't allowed anywhere in the forum, and definitely not in the General Discussion. One word posts are also considered spam. If you have nothing worthwhile to post, don't post at all. Spamming can be dealt with in a number of different manners. One word posts will be deleted, and you will be PM notified. Posts that are not understandable will be deleted or rectified, depending on the situation.
For example, 'General Touhou Project'. It has been decided that this should no longer be in place. If you wish to make a thread about a single game, do NOT include 'General' in the thread title. If you do, 'General' will be removed. If you are to do it again, you will be dealt with appropriately for failing to adhere by forum rules. However, if you are starting a thread for a Series of games, 'General' is allowed, to a certain extent. Make sure to use the thread search function to see if the game you wish to talk about has already been posted.
Bumps are definitely allowed, and encouraged! However, if you wish to bump a thread, do not just post "BUMP!", because it is counted as spam, and your post will be deleted, which also means that thread will be bumped back to the back pages of the forum. If you do wish to bump a thread, make sure you have something to say about it's topic. Duplicate threads can be a problem if there are about ten threads on one game. Here in CG, we encourage bumping threads. But please try to bump the thread with the most amount of pages. Should you make another thread about that game, and the moderator sees more of those threads in the index, your thread will be deleted and you will be directed to another thread.
This is perfectly fine in cases, and shouldn't be used in others: The moderator on duty will decide whether to close the thread on request. Feisar: I'll probably close it if I see it needs to be anyway. Here is an unacceptable case for requesting closure: *Member* has created a thread discussing a particular idea of theirs (for example, a Classic Gaming NeoWiki). *Member* soon realises that, for example, their idea will not be put into place. *Member* requests closure. This thread will stay open, as it still has discussion value. So, summing up this rule, it is the moderator's decision whether to close a thread upon request or not, but now you know the basics. Note that failure to adhere to this rule constantly will have you being punished.
After a GD reaches 30 pages it will be closed. After three days, the thread will be deleted, so don't be surprised if your post count drops if you've posted in them. The reasoning behind this is because of off topic discussion. So, those are the rules. Make sure to abide by them  If you have anything you wish for me to add, or questions, visit the Requests, Feedback and Suggestions Thread Make sure to have fun! And enjoy Classic Gaming.
