The HiCalibur 3D Productions Forums are for everyone to enjoy and to post in. No users has more rights here than the next forum user.

All users here are required to read and understand this document to the best of their abilities. Any users who are unclear of a rule stated or do understand how the rule may be applied, they should consult a forum moderator as soon as possible for them to do so, in order to alleviate any confusion and possible infractions of the rules.

Moderators reserve the right to edit/close/delete topics/posts as they see fit in order to enforce the rules. Moderators reserve the right to interpret the rules contained herein in any manner they see fit or as the situation(s) allowed dictate. If you have questions or comments as to a moderator’s judgment or interpretation, speak with the moderator who applied judgment to the topic/post/thread in question.

Pointing out spelling/grammar errors isn't necessary. The best way to improve the overall presentation of the forums is not to post in every poorly written thread complaining about it. Instead, practice what you preach: Try to write reasoned, well-thought out, well-written posts.

--RULES--

- Respect the opinions of others; your opinion isn't the only opinion that can exist in this world. Don't force your opinion into other ones believes (religious, political or otherwise).

- If you decide to reply to a thread, make certain not to drag the conversation off-topic.

- If you feel someone is doing something wrong do not bother to post about it. Direct the post/thread to a moderator and it will be handled.

- Watch your language, we don't ban every cursing/vulgar word as long as it is not directed to anyone in particular; Moreover, restrict yourself to not using vulgarity in thread titles or excessive usages of vulgarity.

- Do NOT start a thread asking why a moderator edited/deleted/moved your post/thread. If you have any questions send a private message to a moderator.

- Do NOT discuss any prohibited content on these forums.

-- Prohibited Content--

--Additional Rules--

* Post count, length of time on the forums, or any other means of measurement does not absolve you of responsibility. If anything, we expect long-term members to behave more maturely, and help make this forum a great place for discussion amongst gamers!

* There's no need to post in someone's topic saying "this will be closed soon!" or "why did you write this?" or demanding that the moderators close the topic or ban the member. However, if someone is being exceedingly disruptive, feel free to bring it to a moderator's attention (via private message or email).

* You do not have the right to insult/attack/etc someone for any reason (new to the boards, old-school member who should be able to "take it", you just feel like it, etc...)

* People are going to ask questions that have already been asked, bring up topics that have already been discussed, and so forth. These things happen. If you're not interested in the topic at hand, simply don't post!

* Try to stay on topic this particularly applies to gaming discussion, but even in the miscellaneous area, we'd still prefer you avoid making random, off-topic posts for no reason.
