Welcome to Live XBOX 360! This is a great place to be to discuss the XBOX 360 and XBOX Live, but it can be even better if there are rules placed here.
Below are six simple rules. More will be added at any time. Do not make it harder for anyone else. Just follow these rules, and everyone is happy. These rules apply to every board in this forum, no exceptions.
1 ) Spamming
Spamming, is a no-no. Spam is known as junk mail on the Internet, but if you have trouble remembering it, here is a good acrnoym to remember it. Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages! Do not be that person who's going to be banned because you could not follow the number one rule. If you are posting non-stop nonsense in the Member Lounge, you are spamming. If you are talking about anything that is not about the XBOX in the XBOX Boards, you are spamming. See how this works? To be sure you are not spamming, be sure to read the board's "About the Board" to figure out what that board is about. Other than that, you'll be lucky to find a second chance.
Double posting (having two posts back to back in one thread), is considered spam. Unless if it is needed, it is spam. The modify button works just as well. Short, unintelligent posts are also spam. Posting 'Yaaaay!!!' is spam. Why not back up your 'yay' with some reasons why you are happy?
2 ) Flaming
Flaming is another fun Internet term. If you are arguing with someone, you are having a Flame War. If you are insulting someone, you are Flaming them. If you are making fun of someone's opinions, you are Flaming them. Basically, flaming is arguing and insulting. Do not do it, it makes me (the admin) mad, it makes the other members mad, and it's going to make you mad after you get banned.
3 ) Advertising
Advertising is not permitted here. Do not ask other members to join your site, I gurantee you wiill not get any members by doing so. If you want to advertise your site, put your URL in your signature. Not only is it allowed, but it shows up in all of your messages, not just one! That is much better than just having one spam thread!
4 ) XBOX 360
Everyone is entitled to have their opinions, we respect that. But... some opinions should not be said outloud. If you hate the XBOX 360, then there is no point of you reading this. There is no reason for you to be here. Because, if you post, it will be something like...
"OmG g3Tt3H P53, N0t T3h XB0x!!!1!1"
Then you will be banned for spamming, and for flaming the 360. Do not insult the 360 here!
5 ) XBOX Live
Do not harass other members here over XBOX Live. Yes, we do allow people to post their GamerCards here, because we expect that nobody will harass them. If you are found spamming a member's XBOX Live account, then you will be punished here.
6 ) Proboards TOS
Read the ProBoards TOS. This forum has all the rules that the TOS applies. If you are breaking the Proboards TOS, then you are breaking our rules. Take particular note to 3.B..
