Screenshot Expo Forums Rules - PLEASE READ before POSTING!
User notes will be added against you if you don't follow these rules! No exceptions!
The 3 Strikes System:
When any of the below rules are broken, you will receive a strike against your username. The system works like this: 1st Strike - People need to PM + thread warning + (if necessary, close or soft-delete)
2nd Strike - Addition Warning via PM + (if thread close + soft-delete)
3rd Strike - 1-3 Day Ban without warning
All incidents are documented!
General Guidelines: No character names can be displayed in images, unless premission is given, or its your own character
All posts are subject to the rules of the Guild Wars Guru forum guidlines.
Swearing in images are not allowed, make sure to censor them. The whole word must be censored, not just part of it.
Image Posting: Images must be no larger then 800 x 600. If they are then please do the following:
Please convert images to .jpeg if possible. Images that are over 600KB in size will be converted to URL links or deleted.
Thumbnails, such as the ones provided by ImageShack are recommended for all images.
General Chatting within Threads - NOT ALLOWED!:
This thread is not a chat room! Don't use it as such. This also falls under spamming! (See below)
Please don't use the thread as a kind of chat-room. If you wish to discuss random stuff then please use forum PMs, e-mail or chat in-game if you like. Not in the thread.
Chat room talk / spam will be deleted.
Replying to Posts + Spamming:
The GWG forum rules on spamming are very clear:
Quote:
5. No Spamming Post count - no matter how impressive a high number might look - is irrelevant here. Therefore, please do not spam these forums, or such posts will be deleted. To determine whether or not your post can be considered as spam, ask, "does this add to or advance the thread in a constructive way." If you answer, "yes," then chances are, you're good to go. Examples of spam posts include: “Yeah me too," "lol”, “that’s what I wanted to say…,” “what the guy above said…”, etc.
Please keep all replies tasteful. Swearing, flaming, crude comments, pointless comments will not be tolerated!
+1 post count spam is not encouraged! Mods actively found themselves deleting this kind of spam from a number of the Screenshot threads. The "Post your Character" threads in particular. The following clearly explains the differences between a comment/chat and a spam/+1 post:
