Hey guys! Welcome to the PS! Mafia forums community!While we want all of you to have fun on our forums, we will still need to set down some basic ground rules for everybody to have an enjoyable time. Without further ado, lets start with the basics.
DO:
1) Be nice and polite.
Everybody deserves respect, regardless of their history or roots. Please treat other people how youd would want treated. Positive and polite posts create a cohesive enviroment for everyone to feel confortable in.
2) Think before posting
Well thought-out and legible posts help other members in understanding your post.
3) Post in the relevant sections
This way, members who are interested in your posts will actually see them and bring the right attention to your posts, or in the case of game approvals, prevent unwanted information from being leaked.
4) Remain on topic
New threads should be made for new discussions and not in unrelated topics.
5) Report content
While the staff is important in managing the forums, we still need your help in moderating the forums as we might not be able to look through everything. If you believe a posts requires moderating, moving, and/or modified, do use the report system!
6) Be active
Frustration can be caused by inactivity, especially in games. Do try to stay as active as possible to receive updates on things you need to know!
7) Read forum-specific rules
Reading this was already nice enough, why not read all of them?
DO NOT:
1) Use exessive profanity in any form
Come on, there are more ways to show disapproval and frustration than using words that start with f and ends with ck (eg. firetruck or flock) all the time. A little is fine, but excessive amounts would be a disappointment.
2) Post inappropriate content
We strive to create a family-friendly place, and inappropriate content (eg. Pornography/discrimination materials) is a huge no-no.
3) Flame or Provoke
Do not insult other people on the forums/room. Similarly, do not post with intentions of provoking a reaction from another person. Instigation and encouraging of flame wars will not be tolerated
4) Behaving in a malevolent (Like the Disney Movie) manner
Behaving in a manner where it will cause distress, harm, inconvience and anxiety to other members is prohibited. This includes, but not limited to, discrimination, bullying, offensive materials, breaching of another's privacy, accessing another account (whether with permission or not. Accounts can be terminated due to this.
6) Participating/Aiding in illegal activities
While the forums are not stationed anywhere and thus does not follow any law strictly, the Copyright and Computer Misuse law should be followed.
7) Advertise/Use the forums for commercial activities
Self-explanatory. Its a distraction to other topics in the forums, nuff said.
8) Spam
Just, don't. A spam post is a post that adds no value to a discussion (in other words, does not do anything). Most common spam posts include "tl:dr?", "+1", "this", a post with only one picture and nothing else, a post with only one word, posts chokeful of memes, unspoilered huge images and duplicate posts.
9) Post in games you didn't join
Unless explicitly stated you can post, do not post in games which you did not join in. This can create distractions which is obviously not wanted.
10) Cheat/Ruin Games
Self-explanatory in my opinion.
Please note that these are just a general guideline, staff will warn as they see fit. Thanks for reading, and have fun in the forums!
