WiiUsers.net Rules & Regulations
Welcome! You've just stumbled upon our basic instruction of what and what not to do here at WiiUsers. We take our website very seriously. This being said, we do not tolerate users who are unwilling to follow our simple rules and regulations.
We do ask that you read and understand these well. Violation of any rule or rules, will result in an infraction. Members that continue to do this may result in a banning. Anyhow, we take pride in operating this website! And you should too! THE GUIDELINES 1. Be Welcoming! When newcomers arrive, welcome them to our growing community. Many of our community's senior members are a wealth of knowledge and have much to share. Help new members learn about how to find information and resources, save time, and how to get involved in the Community. Help them around the site and lend a hand! 2. No Flaming Flaming is defined as personal attacks or insults on another person regarding the persons religion/views/postings/knowledge, etc. Though we encourage healthy discussion and debate, a certain point comes in which an insult turns personal, and this is strongly discouraged via both public forums and privately. Reports of such abuse will usually result in a warning; multiple abuses will result in a perma ban. 3. Be Cautious! Think before you post or speak: Do you really want to put your address or telephone number on a public discussion forum? We encourage you to keep personal information personal. In the same vein, do not ask for personal information from others. Discussion forum posts that request members to submit personal information to another party will be removed immediately. (We would like to keep our forum a safe environment as well as have a fun time while here) Information that should be considered personal includes but is not limited to your home phone number, name, and age. If you must give this out for any reason, please do so privately. 4. Be Appropriate! There may be places where explicit, obscene or vulgar language, graphics or behavior is appropriate however WiiUsers.net is not one of them. Discussion forum posts that contain explicit, obscene or vulgar language will be removed without hesitation or notice. Occasional swearing is okay, only in the shoutbox, etc. However, if you abuse it too much, infractions will be given out. 5. Action Reply/Hacking/Cheating There might be places throughout the internet where Action Reply/Hacking or Cheating device discussion is allowed, however, WiiUsers is not one of those places. Any discussion throughout the site, anywhere, will be deleted without notice. If you are caught or reported for this, you will be banned. (Please provide evidence when reporting. 6. Ban Contesting - NO Though we like to have an open dialogue with our users, a ban will stay a ban. Please do not log on under a different account or send an e-mail to ask why you have been banned. If you are unable to realize why you were banned, your lack of understanding of the Guidelines to WiiUsers.net is probably the reason itself. If you login under a different account somehow after a banning, you will once again be banned. 7. Double Posting - NO If you need to add any information to your previous post, use the "edit" button at the top-right corner of your post. You may only double post if the update to that thread or post is extremely important in some way. If a double post is spotted, the post will just be removed without notice. 8. 3 Word Post Minimum There is a 3 word minimum, unless it is in the "Forum Fun & Games" forum - otherwise, you may post any selection of number of words. Anything less is considered SPAM and will be deleted without hesitation and/or notice. 9. Signature Guidelines If your signature is in violation of something that is inappropriate, it will be removed without notice.(The Staff may remove it without prior notice. If you have any questions as to whether something is acceptable, please PM a Staff Member) 10. Competing Sites The internet is a big place, and it's no surprise that from time to time a site will come along whose mission is to occupy the same idea as WiiUsers.net. We have no issue with that. However, if you wish to advertise a site, please do so in the appropriate forum, "Visit My Website". 11. No Copyrighted Material / Plagiarism Information copyrighted or owned by any individual other than the member should not be exposed anywhere throughout the site, unless you have consent by the owner. If such an event occurs, the individual posting the information shall be held responsible. WiiUsers.net shall not be held responsible for member-posted information that may violate copyright law. 12. No Illegal material or Discussion Illegal activities, most commonly here as a form called piracy or theft is absolutely not tolerated. You are not allowed to discuss any Illegal activities such as Wii Points Generators or Piracy. This is a SERIOUS offense, and will be dealt with swiftly, and we will take action to prevent thieves or pirates. If we have reason to believe you are taking part in or promoting these activities, we can and very well may report you to your ISP and criminal charges will occur. 13. No Joking around about Death This is a serious matter and is not tolerated here at WiiUsers. Any joking around about it will result in an immediate One day ban. If it continues after, then one week. If it still continues and you do not comply with this rule, you WILL be permanently banned. It is common sense not to joke around about this sort of subject, why? Because others may care deeply for those who past on. As well as it being rude and passing off our site as if it was us who are careless. If you are the type of person who does, either leave now after reading this rule, or Do it away from this site, (meaning not here at all). Last edited by Mazumia; 08-24-2008 at 11:25 PM.
