Welcome to Pwned Gamers! We hope you enjoy your stay at this forum! Here are some simple rules/guidelines which are to be read to keep this forum a pleasant environment. Feel free to contact any of the friendly staff at pG if you need any help. The list of staff can be found here.

Accounts
To keep everything fair, you are only to have ONE Pwned Gamers account. Having another account under the same IP, and even using another account on your IP without a reasonable explanation to one of the admins will result in deletion of the accounts and an IP Ban.

Reputation and pG Cash boosting at the same time will not be tolerated.

Accounts cannot be sold or given away.

Signatures & Avatars

Signatures are to be kept to a small size. You are allowed to have one image only with a maximum size of 500 x 200. You signature is not to mislead other users with inappropriate content. Referral links to other forums are not permitted.

Avatars are also not to include any misleading or advertising content.

Member Behaviour

Flaming and trolling will not be tolerated. Consistent trolling of both other members and staff will result in an infraction.

Insulting members in anyway including racism, descrimination and swearing at others will result in strong infractions and edge close to a ban.

Impersonating other users or staff is a big no no. Causing extreme confusion of this kind will result in an infraction.

Requests for bans will not be accepted. It is just annoying for moderators to have to ban you when you ask them for a ban.

Leaking from the Pwner forums is pretty much stealing our property and giving it to others. We understand the temptation you have to leak, but there are consequences involved. We will either temporarily take away your Pwner status, or permanently remove it depending on what happens.

Hacking of any kind, involving the use of RATS and iStealers of any kind will immediately in removal/ban from pG. Users on pG have the right to feel safe on pG. Remember, if you experience hacking of any kind, please contact one of the staff members to deal with the situation accordingly. Hacking talk is also not permitted both in the shoutbox and in the forums. Pwners are allowed to post all their talk about hacking in the Pwner Hacking forums ONLY.

Posting

Spamming & Low Quality Posting
Spammed and Low quality 1-3 word posts done to increase your post count will be deleted. If you continue to make these posts intentionally you will be infracted and possibly be banned.

Layout & Grammar
Please make sure your posts are readable and the correct grammar is used. Speak English please. Threads which cannot be interpreted by other users will be removed.

Programs & Downloads

When linking to a download, programs and all, please post a virus scan. Failure to do so will result in the link being removed until the scan is posted.

Advertising & Misleading Content

Advertising in your post of any kind will not be allowed. Content like this misleads other users, and can lead to strong warnings and infractions.

Scamming

Scamming of any kind should not take place on the forums. Even though you might think it mostly happens around the auctions section, it can also happen to you without an auction. If you are scammed, please contact a moderator with some form of proof, and the moderator will deal with the issue accordingly.

Ripping

Ripping is taking another person's content and claiming it as your own. Ripping of any kind will not be tolerated on pG, and you could possibly receive an infraction, depending on what you have ripped.

Staff

Staff are here to look after you on the forums and help you whenever you need it. Staff are also here to keep the forums clean, and to make sure that YOU abide by the rules.

Staff are not to be insulted, but treated with respect. Flaming staff members because they closed your thread is not on. It was most likely for a reason.

If you are having an issue with a member of staff, whether it be power abuse or behaviour to other members, you take it confidentially to one of the admins. You don't flame the staff member. We will sort things out.

Staff have the right to close threads, and remove content when and if it violates any of the above rules.

Admins have the right to ban your IP address, if we find you have multiple accounts.


If you find a post that shouldn't be on the site, there is a report button.  It is located at the bottom of each post.
Do not report threads for the fun of it.

pG Staff.
