The Hub | The Hub Rules
While we think you’re all super nice, sweet, and pretty level headed enough to make good decisions (and we know this how?)… we still, however, reserve the right, and the obligation, to kick your interweb arse out of our community. We’ve also recruited some user moderators to help us out on this front. So… you’ve been warned.
Some Stern Rules:
No Hate
- Any kind of hate speech. You call somebody a f*g, I call you BANNED.
- Racists are NOT welcome here.
- Violence is not nice. So it's close enough to "Hate" as it gets.
- Ad hominem personal attacks. Criticize the idea, not the person.
No Cursing
- Gratuitous profanity. If your post is 30 words long and 23 of those words can't be used on network television.
- It's not such a big deal if you use a swear word in an "adjective" sense every once in awhile. That's why we removed the wordfilter. What's never ok is any of the following:
No Cybering
- Posts that just don't belong on a video game board. GamePro is not a venue for adult erotic fan fiction.
- Post regarding sex, sexual interactivity, other users’ sexual orientation, etc. will simply be deleted and user banned upon our discretion. Deal with it.
- Go flirt on MySpace, they have many more lawyers than we do.
Unacceptable Images
- Any of the above could be depicted in a .jpg and/or .gif file if you try hard enough… If you do so here and post it, we will ban you. This includes, but is not limited to: nudity, gore, sex, the middle finger, etc.
Some Basic Guidelines:
- PROFANITY LOST ITS SHOCK POWER 20 YEARS AGO. If you want people to care, learn to write well.
- This is a site about video games and the video game industry. Try and keep things in context.
- One of the best things about GamePro.com, and always has been, is the community and its openness to others’ and others having fun. Let’s keep it positive around here!
- Spoilers suck. Don’t ruin games, movies or books for other folks. It’s not nice.
