Hey everyone. As a new mod and one who will be moderating mainly this and the Sorceress Memorial forum, I have decided to lay down what I expect. It's nothing new, just basic rules on what's allowed in here and what's not. If it's too harsh or you think I've overstepped my bounds, feel free to contact me and/or reply to this thread. I went over these rules with an ex-mod to see if these guidelines were ok, so I'm not going on a power trip here.



OK, first off, the following may be posted in this forum:

-questions on FFVIII strategy
-responses to these questions, including hints, tips, secrets, walkthroughs or other various information
-conversations and discussions related in some way to the topic.


What you may not post in this forum is:

-spam
-non-Final Fantasy VIII strategy questions
-double posts
-personal attacks on another member, in specific about another member's ability as a gamer.
-first posts asking other members to ask all their questions in that thread.



Posts which contain non-FF VIII content will be moved promptly to the FF Talk forum upon discovery. If you have more information to add, and you were the last one to post, edit your post instead of double posting.

Topics will be left open for discussion, and members will be able to ask new questions on the same topic, or post new information about the question if they have any new information. It would be prefferable if those without new information do not post. Repetitive strategies or suggestions won't be deleted, but I firmly suggest against it, as it only confuses and/or annoys the person who asked the question and those that replied to it.

Topics will be locked only if the question has been thoroughly answered, or if an argument occurs in which the members in question are unable to resolve the problem, and continue to use the thread as a battle grounds. Every means necessary will be used before closing the thread. These threads are meant to be informative and stimulate discussion, and as such, will not be locked unless no other solution can be found.

Also note, posts that are completely off topic will be deleted after 5 days. Whomever wrote the post will be notified before the post is deleted. This is so that those who look into the thread later do not have to sift through twenty off-topic posts before finding their answers.

Also note, new members and those who have questions to ask, please look through at the very least the threads on the first page to see if any other members have asked the same or similar answers. If so, read their responses, and see if that answers your problem. If not, feel free to post your question as a response to that thread. If there are no topics on your question, feel free to start a new post.

Also note, do not post threads asking other members to post all their questions in your thread. Threads with different questions should be posted seperately in different threads, and follow the guideline above.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them in this thread, or PM me. If at any time you find someone who is breaking these rules, and I or another mod have not solved the problem, feel free to PM me.

Thank you all and have a nice day!

Nice one Frost. You've not overstepped your bounds at all, unless anything has changed since I was a mod. Spot on ^_^

Just a reminder: do not spam in any of the threads in these boards.

Unless you are giving productive, unique assistance in a thread, or the thread is your own and you are thanking those who helped you (or you are correcting the information given by another strategist), please do not comment.

"Wow.." and "Awesome" and "cool" comments are considered spam and won't be tolerated from now on. If you made the topic, you may comment as you like, and if you add more meaningfulness to the post ("wow, that was awesome. Just remember that (insert some type of tip here). Thanks for the help" instead of "wow") it is also fine. But one or two word responses are generally not helpful or productive, and will be deleted upon discovery. Please read the above posts and learn what is and is not allowed in this thread. Thank you and have a good day.

Also note: I renamed this thread (basically switched around "What I'll be Looking for" with "Guidelines for the forum") to make it easier to tell what this thread is about and that yes, it would be nice if this was read BEFORE making posts in the board ;) Enjoy yourselves :)

Now, I'm not too partial on locking my own threads....so kindly take your spam to the spam thread and play nice with the other kiddies. ;)
