NAG Online Forums FAQ

Users are encouraged to use the reporting facility if there is a post they find offensive or out of place. Please be careful with this, however; abuse of the reporting system for personal matters will result in an infraction.

The moderators reserve the right to lock (block further posting) any topic that is old, finished or the home of multiple offenses. Please do not ask for a locked topic to be re-opened unless there is something very special and particular you feel the need to add to that topic.

Currently, the only commercial advertising allowed outside of the paid-for banner ads are the LANs listed in the appropriate section. Non-commercial advertising may not be in direct competition to Tide Media, its publications, affiliates or advertisers. The moderation team reserves the right to remove any posted advertisement.

Occasionally, a user may do something particularly amusing, annoying, humiliating or fantastic. If the moderation team finds your actions to be worth special mention, those actions may be immortalized in the form of a user tag. Users may request for their tag to be reset to the default ?Member?, but may not request unique tags.

Users are encouraged to use common sense when engaging in discussion on the NAG forums. Don?t make obviously offensive posts, don?t look for trouble and try to be as civilized and courteous as possible. We?re all here to have a great time, discuss games, technology, anime, movies, game development and tons more; try not to rain on anyone?s parade.

We understand that not every posting member has a Pulitzer Prize hanging over their desk, but we do encourage careful posting, correct spelling and at least passable grammar if you?d like to be taken seriously. Think twice before you hit the submit button and try to have a spell-check handy.

Technical threads: If you have a technical question, please make sure that you have searched these forums and the rest of the 'Net for any possible solution or previous discussion before you post your query; in other words, Google it. In a technical thread, please refrain from posting any unhelpful replies - if you cannot help the OP with their query, kindly leave it to those in the know.

The forums feature an optional filter for words deemed unsuitable for minors or those susceptible to offence. The filter is enabled by default on all new accounts, as well as for guest users. Should you wish to disable the censor, you will find the option under User Settings -> General Settings -> Censorship Option. Please note that disabling the word filter is done entirely at your own discretion, and NAG will not be held liable for offence taken once the filter is disabled.
