Forum Rules

The Let's Change the Game forums are here for the discussion of the competition and related topics (e.g. ARGs). Unrelated topics may only be discussed in the ‘Off-Topic’ forum.

Who can post on the forum?

Anyone has the privilege of posting on the forum.

Why do I have to register?

So no-one can log in and claim to be you.

Can I talk about my game design?

Yes, and you may receive some useful and interesting criticism. Of course, bear in mind that the forum is public and can be read by anyone, including other teams.

What can’t I post?

Insults, flames, hatred comments, spamming and advertisements are an abuse of your privilege to post and can result to a penalty.

Can I have a second login?

No. Creating a second login, using the login of someone else, etc., is strongly prohibited.

What are the penalties?

The administrators have the choice of a simple warning, to a disablement of someone’s login (allowing to read, not allowing to post) for a short or infinite period, to banning any access to the site for a short or infinite period. The administrators may ask from the members to decide on the kind of penalty in a certain case, but they are not obliged to.

What might get me banned?

A non-exhaustive list includes:

  • Double log-ons
  • Massive spamming in a thread
  • Multiple identical comments posted in many different threads
  • Hate threads, or hateful posts
  • Ad-hominem threads
  • Massive flaming
  • Behaviour which is considered disruptive to this site
  • No explicit sexual discussion allowed
  • Doing anything after an Admin or Mod tells you not to do it

Usually, common sense is the rule of how we want things to work here.
