Terms of Service and Rules

Here at ThatGameforum.com (henceforth known as TGF), freedom of speech is highly valued, but we also realize that such freedom comes with responsibilities. Considering the majority of the community base is of adult age, TGF feel the users are perfectly capable of deciding themselves what is acceptable, and what is not.

In order to streamline things a little, TGF came up with a few basic rules. These are meant to ensure that the work that both TGF and the community put into this site will not go to waste due to a few bad apples. TGF intend to keep the site Safe for Work (SFW), in order to ensure that even when you find yourself bored at work, you can still be a part of the community without all kinds of weird alarms going off in the IT department.

Whenever the administrator of this forum feels the few rules that TGF has are broken or stretched, she may step in. Repetitive breaking or testing the limits of the rules might end in the suspension of your account.

You hereby agree not to:

  • - Flood or spam the site, or any user/member/owner/trained monkey of the site
  • - Harass or troll other members of the forums
  • - Threaten other users of the forums
  • - Glorify or boast about illegal acts and/or substances
  • - Provide instructions for or links to illegal or otherwise harmful activities
  • - Transmit or knowingly receive information related to (or including links to) racism, pornography, pirated software or counterfeit goods
  • - Post chain letters and/or pyramid or Ponzi schemes
  • - Post in any languages except for English
  • - Use the site to advertise and/or peddle goods, other than those related to the use in the work with games
  • - Attack other forum users because of a picture of themselves they posted.Nobody can help the way they look, and not everybody is as sexy as some of us
  • - Reveal or publish any information that was given to you in a private way (like a private message), unless all parties involved do not object to this information being shared with the community
  • - Try and compromise the security or accuracy of the site, or any of the information available on the site. If you are caught hacking (or trying to), or using inappropriate or illegal Internet activities, TGF will aggressively pursue the interests of both the Website and its users. This may include, but is not limited to notifying your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or in extreme cases, the appropriate legal channels (Police, FBI, Cousin Vinny)
  • - Please refrain from starting discussions about religion and politics

    •

    As a general rule of thumb, try and treat others like you would like to be treated yourself. TGF also encourages you to discuss all aspects of game developing and related products and tools and websites both positive and negative, though in the latter case, TGF asks you to do so constructively.

    Your responsibilities as a user of this Website (this is where TGF legally covers it's ass):

  • - You may be held legally accountable for what you say or do on-line. In particular,
  • you may be held liable for any defamatory comments, threats and untrue statements or other illegal or fraudulent claims made by you
  • - You may be held accountable for any breach of the rights of a third party if you have not obtained their prior consent to the use of their property
  • - You agree and warrant that you will comply with the terms of any agreement required by the owner or licensor of any intellectual property rights as may exist in all software and information you access or post via this website and to indemnify TGF against any action or cost suffered or incurred by TGF as a result of a breach by you of this term or any other terms listed in this agreement
    •

    For breaking above rules you may be warned/banned appropriately! Other than that, remember to have fun :)
