General Overview
These are the Black Gate Forum rules. If you don't agree with them, you can leave or refuse to register an account. Upon breaking a rule you might receive a warning, but this is not mandatory. You can be banned for your first offense of breaking these rules.
Although the staff is willing to keep the Black Gate Forums alive and well, they are NOT willing to do this so people can spam or just be jerks. You aren't being asked to be a dancing blob of joy, but you are asked to behave like a normal, decent, person.
Before posting a topic, please ask yourself ,"Am I making a post which is either funny, informative, or interesting on any level?"
If you can answer "yes" to this, then please post. If you cannot, then refrain from posting.
Try your best to post in the right board. Each board has a description but if the topic is not in the right place the staff will move it and you WILL NOT be able to get back into the topic unless you go to its new place.
Try not to state the obvious. When you come onto Black Gate and you see something new, probably you aren't the first to see it. For example if there are new boards or a new look don't start a topic about it pointing out that they are there.
Adding any links that results in a flood of pop ups will result in a ban
It is ok to post a website link here,even your own website, however do not constantly post it. Chances are that if no one liked your link the first time than they wont like it more the second time. Unless you COMPLETLY changed it.
Make sure your posts add to the discussion. Don't just go into a topic and post something like "What?" or "I don't care." Try to make your posts longer than one or two words. If the moderators seem to think that you are posting just to increase your post-count, you will be banned if the monderator feels you need to be.
