Apparently since you guys can't control yourselves, I have to make a rules thread here.

1. No Spamming. This is simple. No senseless blabbing, off topic posts, or anything of the sort. I don't mind you guys poking fun at each other occasionally in threads other than the GDT, but don't let it get out of hand. Also, keep your posts in English. Any posts that aren't in English will be considered spam and will be deleted. I'm not going to spend 3 days trying to translate a post.

2. No Flaming. Again, a simple rule. No derogatory remarks that could be seen as slanderous or offensive will be allowed.

3. No Memberating. I'm big on this rule. As long as you guys don't tell people what they can and can't do or act like a moderator without being one, you'll be fine. Requesting closure in a thread also falls under this rule WITH THE EXCEPTION of when the originator requests it.

4. Do not abuse the Report feature. Again, another rule I'm big on. If you guys can't learn what to report and what not to report, then don't report anything at all.

5. Do not use filler text in user reviews. I don't mind you guys writing user reviews. In fact, I encourage it. Just make sure you don't add anything "extra" to fulfill the 750 character minimum. If you can't get at least 750 characters without using filler text, then don't write one at all.

6. Do not discuss Gameshark codes here. This not only goes for Gameshark, but for Game Genie, Action Replay, and any similar devices as well. There is no forumwide rule against this, but most forums ban the discussion of them to cut down on fighting that may break out. Referring to them is okay, but posting codes or asking for them will not be allowed. Any codes posted in the cheats section relating to these devices will be deleted on sight.

7. DO NOT BYPASS AN ISSUED BAN! This is a major rule. If you're banned, wait it out. There are many people who can tell if you're getting around a ban. If you're caught, you may be punished by a permanent forum-wide ban on both accounts, courtesy of a site super moderator.


8. Read the DS RPG/Adventure Rules. It's got everything you need to know about general forum rules within the DS RPG/Adventure section.

9. Do not put the forum moderator on your ignore list. This rule applies to section and super moderators as well. We need to be able to contact you via NeoPM, and if we're on your ignore list, it won't do any good trying to get through to you. As such, if you have ignored any moderator of this forum or any moderator of the DS RPG/Adventure section, you may be punished by an immediate ban of at least 5 days for non compliance.


This is subject to change at any time, and it's YOUR responsibility to keep up with it. It's not my job to make sure you guys read the rules. It's just my job to enforce them.
