2. General Rules For ConjointGaming Forums
___________________________________________
* While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts. Our decision is final in these matters.
* Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts, or the such.
* Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
* Advertising, spamming and trolling is not allowed. This includes using the forum, email, visitor messages, blog comments, picture comments and private message systems to spam other members.
* Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts. For style changes and general 'how-to' questions this should be 24 hours. For specific troubleshooting issues, use 12 hours as a guideline.
* We also do not allow posts or links to sites that are sexual in nature or violate vBulletin community standards. The vBulletin team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate community standards.
* Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.
* Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not allowed.
* While we are quite happy to have constructive comparative conversations about competitor's products, we will not tolerate blatant adverts or the sort of 'ooh look, yet another bulletin board' threads. Also, we would appreciate it if you refrain from blatant bashing of other boards.
* We reserve the right to remove offensive posts without notice.
* If you are going to post non-English on these forums, please also post an English Translation of your post.
* Posts arguing about company policies are not allowed. You can fill out a support ticket if you have issue with company policies.
* Posts discussing moderator actions are also not allowed.
* Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
* You cannot post any affiliate or referral links, or post anything asking for a referral. Such posts will be subject to removal.
* You cannot post advertisements or notices for contests.
* Support tickets should be considered to be confidential information. Support tickets posted in the forums will be deleted.
* We also reserve the right to ban anyone who wilfully violates the forum rules, as access to our support forums are a privilege and not a right. A banned customer is still entitled to support from the support system.

9. Admin Obligations
_______________________________________________
1. Server Crashes - If you are admin on a server it is your obligation to report a server crash (if the server is still down) to a community leader or someone who has the ability to restart the server
This is especially true if you are on the server when it crashes
(the sooner a server is restarted the better)
2. Reporting Admin Abuse - As well as not abuse your admin you also have an obligation to report all admin abuse from other admins.
3. Fulfilling your duty - As Admin you are expected to administrate the server but at the same time be lenient. You need to separate those that are disturbing the server and those that are not. Being admin doesn't allow you to be a dick to the players
4. Populating/Starting up Servers -
5. Being Active on the Forums -
6.

It is encouraged that if an admin should accidentally RDM an innocent, thinking he or she was a traitor, he ought to slay himself. This is a mature acts that gives an example. Encouraged, but not mandatory.
