Forum rules

#1

Post by Lobby »

General rules

§1 - Illegal things
Threads whose contents are illegal according to German law will be deleted as fast as possible. Pornography, pirate copy or radical political content may not be distributed in any form. It's also not allowed to pass off something from someone else as your own work.

§2 - Insults, Bullying, Swearing
We don't bear insulting/bullying behavior in our forum. If you post something insulting/bullying we may censor or trash your post. This includes swearing since we guess that's not how human interaction should look like.

§3 - Spam
Posts with no real content/information might be trashed.

§4 - Layout
Try to give your posts an appropriate layout so it's easy to read.
§4a - Images
Don't post huge images.
§4b - Text
Don't use huge and/or bold text where it's not needed. Also avoid using caps-locking, especially in titles.
§4c - Signature
Keep your signature small so it doesn't have a bad influence on reading threads.
§4d - Quotes
Only quote other posts if your reference wouldn't be clear otherwise. Don't quote images if possible.

§5 - Category
Try to post your threads into the right category, otherwise we might have to move it.

§6 - Title
Your threads should have a descriptive title that tells us what we have you expect when we open your thread. Titles like "Help" or "Look at this" are not good titles. We may edit the title to something more descriptive if you aren't able to do so.

§7 - Multiple accounts / account sharing
It's forbidden to register multiple accounts in the forum. If we notice such behavior we will warn you. This includes sharing your account credentials with others to allow them to post in your name.

§8 - TheoTown piracy
We won't tolerate it if you
  • Create/use/share a hacked version of the game
  • Create/use/share premium contents of the game (e.g. via plugins)
Users who violate this rule might be banned immediately.

What happens if you disobey these rules?
In general, moderators will try to edit or trash your posts to keep the forum clean. Dependent on the case we might give you a warning. After multiple warnings we have to ban you.

1. Will go into §1
It depends on how bad the image is
2. Will go into §2 or §1
Depends on what image it is
3. Will go into §2
Depends on what the image is if it's just a joke it might be okay
But you should still think on rather posting it or not
some people might be offended or feel insulted
4. Will go into §1
It's obvious because it's illegal

Just my opinion :wink:

If you see this <..> in a post you made, I have removed a quote or a quoted image where the context is clear.

Post reply, the button on the right beneath the thread is what you should normally use when answering immediately after the post that you are replying to.

What's the definition of 'hacked version'?
Any version not released by Blueflower that uses parts of Theotown or something else?

A hacked version is basically a modified copy of the game. Usually hackers remove or replace the monetization of the game, that's why it is not allowed.
