Board indexTerms To Know
Posting- Making a topic or replying to someone elses topic.
Spamming- If you make useless topics just saying "Hi", "Thanks", "I'm trying to get my post count up", or just post one post after another this is spamming.
Forums- The forums are what you are on now. The forums have many sections in it.
Section- A specific section on the forums contain all the topics and posts.
EX: Youtube Videos, Tech News ect.
Topics- A topic a person has opened. Like the name of this topic is Rules, yes we have them
Reply- A reply is made to the topic a person has opened. So if someone wanted to reply to a topic they would click the button. Which this can't be done to this topic as I have disabled it.
Rules
1.) No spamming.
2.) No harassing/flaming (Being disrespectful) any visitors, members, Mods, Admins, or anyone else that uses the forums. If caught and depending on the case you could be either given an warning or be banned.
3.) No posting false information.
4.) No stealing credit. (Rather it be a code, tutorial, or design.)
5.) No posting in the wrong sections.
6.) No creating a second account, without my permission. (If caught your second account will be deleted. If you continue doing this you will be banned.)
A little info on rule 6,
If you are caught imitating a staff member you WILL BE BANNED! This means that if you make a name that looks the same as or almost looks like any of the members in the group,
If you imitate any of these names in these groups you will be banned.

NOTE: If the name is close to any of these I will have a staff meeting on if we think it is too close. If it is too close you will be banned, if it is some what close we will ask you to remove it. Ban times will start from 2 days and very depending on how high up the list the imitation goes. We can understand mistakes, but we do not tolerate imitating staff purposely.
If you are banned and you create another account and you are caught you will be IP Banned for double the amount of the time you were originally banned for. So if you were banned for 3 days and you make a new account 1 day before your original ban is up. If you are caught your second account will be deleted and your ban will start over as an IP ban for 6 days instead of 3.
7.) If posting a download link, the link must be a direct download and not require registration of any kind.
8.) No Advertising anywhere on the forums (Posts, Shoutbox, ect.)(Putting an add in your Signature is fine) People seem to be having trouble understanding what advertising is. Advertising is purposely telling about a website that you may own or know and then sending a link to it. Say like I go on a website and go "Hey there's this great website that has Free PSP games http://www.gamingrus1.com check it out" that's advertising. Even just posting a random link in a post and not saying ONE word is not only advertising, but spamming also.
I don't mind people being like "Hey I saw this really cool game on gamespot check it out at http://www.gamespot.com" or w/e. If you have your own website though don't advertise just PM me and ask me to be an affiliate. I'll then add your link on a section I will create. Don't risk being banned. Now if it's like "there's a cool game over here go to [insert link here] to download it." That's fine as long as the website itself does not have PSP Games on it.
Since that's what my website is about and that would be redirecting them to another PSP hacking website which is advertising." The only links allowed to be posted are file hosting (like megauploads, sendspace, ect.), myspace, and youtube (Or other video websites like google
videos) links or links required for a tutorial. If the tutorial can still be used without the links then the links should not be posted. If the tutorial WILL NOT WORK without the links then you may post them. If the tutorial requires a link, but the link goes to a website similar to mine DO NOT POST IT! Other than that there will be NO ADVERTISING.
ADVERTISING- Any links are counted as advertising. If it is a website it is a link. If it redirects to another website it is a link. If it goes to another website it is a link. If a link is posted in a code tag it is still a link.
PEOPLE A LINK IS A LINK NO EXCEPTIONS. DON'T MAKE UP EXCUSES!
Exception to advertising - I made one forum for outside links,
When posting websites be sure that they do not fall under any of the below categories:
* Competition websites, this includes any console resource site.
* Websites specifically containing adult material.
* Personal referral websites, such as AWSurveys etc. If caught putting elsewhere a warning will be given and up to a ban. Here is the LINK
If you see anyone advertising please report the ASAP! You can do that by either clicking this
in one of their posts, or you can just PM one of the The Team.9.) No posting bots this will be treated as spam.

Types Of Posts
Ever wonder what a normal, stickied, and announcement type of post was? Well here is a description.
1.) Normal- These are posts that are made by members, VIP etc.
2.) Sticky- These are important posts that need be read. These can only be made by me, Admins, and Mods, but if me, an Admin, or Mod thinks a Guest or Members post is useful, then they can change it to stickied. Usually these are something that are related to the topic of the forum and can help out alot.
3.) Announcement- These are important posts that need be read. These can only be made by me, Admins, and Mods, but if me, an Admin, or Mod thinks the Guest or Members post is detailed news and the author of the topic has backed up what their topic, thenme, an Admin, or Mod may change it to an announcement. This is usually NEWS related to that topic of the forum or title of the post.
SIDE NOTE: The rules could change at anytime. If I update them big enough I add in my signature "Rules have been updated as of "DATE" you may read them Here .
