    1) Private Server, Account Trading/Buying & Gold Spamming
    Anything related to private servers, gold buying/selling, and account trading and selling - advertising and/or asking how and where you can get one or join one will be destroyed on sight.  Repeated offenders will be marked as Trolls and banned from the site forever.

    2) Excessive Vulgarity & Obscenities
    Aside from intellectual discussion purposes, anything to do with raping/rape, excessive swearing, anti-lifestyle remarks - eg: homosexuality, anti-religious remarks, anti-political remarks - will all be either deleted or edited.  If the post is excessive enough, we'll even consider marking you as a Troll and banning you forever.

    3) DO NOT MAKE A NEW TOPIC WITH ONLY CAPITAL LETTERS
    We will notice your topic anyway. Using only capital letters will only annoy the people trying to answer questions.

    4) Check Before Posting New Topics
    Check the first three or four pages before posting up a new topic.  If we find that you open up a new topic with another topic on the same page, we will delete it without warning.

    5) Expletives, Noobs, Name Calling
    Before you call someone a 'faggot' or a 'fag' or 'gay' or a 'noob', ask yourself: "That does what exactly?"  Rather than simply name call someone, either shut up or give some constructive advice.  A good smack upside the head from time to time is encouraged, but don't go too far with it.  Remember, forum ego can be quite a destructive foe to deal with.

    Anyone using these terms such as 'faggot', 'fag', 'gay', or 'noob' or other similar terms will have their comment either deleted, edited or their account marked as troll on sight.

    6) Paid Guides
    Advertising your paid guides will automatically mark you as a troll without warning.  You should know better than to offer paid guides.  If you truly want to help someone here, there are TONS of free guides including the useful resource links in the General forum yellow stickies. 

    7) Gibberish
    Obviously, comments full of crap will be deleted on sight.  This may also include comments without punctuation, excessively bad grammar and spelling, and l337 speak.

      these seem quite reasonable. Hopefully should stop alot of useless spam.

      As well, please report anything you see that are breaking these rules.  So I can go and edit or delete them.  Thanks.

            Is there any positive reinforcement or recognition, for
          people who may write extremely informative or entertaining
          responses? If not, would you consider a place on your page
          that noted the individual and maybe his guild, thanking the
          person for taking the time to put together a well thought
          out comment. In browsing your forums, I noticed a lot of
          really helpful information, that obviously met your guide-
          lines, that taken one step further would take a "good" site
          and make it "great". With some insentive maybe some of the
          original pieces would be "retro-fitted" with the latest
          patches, and updated by their original authors, which I
          think would be really cool and that's important...right?
