Rules may change without notice. If we feel a member has acted out but has not "broken" any rules on this page, we will make exceptions.
General Politeness - Use the THANKS button -If you like what someone has posted, please use the thanks button as a token of gratification. This is how contributors know that they are appreciated.
- Help out - When helping people, please give C&C. This site is a learning site so we accept people of all skill level in modding, skinning, etc. Please do not be rude when commenting. Rude comments may receive a warning; 2nd offense will be an infraction.
- Use our SEARCH feature - People tend to not like to repeat themselves so please search before asking for help.
- Respect - Please give the utmost respect to all members, especially our Staff. Infractions will be given out to those who don't respect members and staff.
- Keep it private - If you don't like someone or what someone did, please use the PM system.
Awards Rules - Only ONE request per day.
- You can request for another user to be nominated. Refer to the first rule, you only get 1 request and this counts for the one. So, you can either request an award for yourself OR someone else, but not both in one day.
- Read all the descriptions. If you do not fall within the description requirements then you will be infracted. Please view the infraction details below.
- Each award can only be requested once every 2 months.
- Infractions will be given out to broken rules. Infraction points = 6 points never expiring (please refer to the infractions section for more details).
- These rules are entitled to change at any given time and by requesting an award, you are agreeing to these rules.
Infraction system Infractions are used as disciplinary notices and are given out when a member has committed an offense that breaks our site rules (listed above). If you break a minor rule the first time, you will most likely be given a warning through our system. Warnings are just logged in our database for our records only and no points are put towards your infractions
Once you reach a certain amount of infraction points, a suspension or ban may be issued: - Once you reach 10 Points, you will be suspended for 3 Days
- Once you reach 20 points you will be suspended for 2 Weeks.
- Once you reach 30 points you will be suspended for 1 Months.
- Once you reach 40 points you will be permanently banned from our site, and will not be permitted to access any of our content; including tutorials.
Premium Information Warning: If caught using a hacked paypal account, your IP, email, and any other information will be turned over to authorities. Your IP and account will be banned from our server as well.
Q - What is a Premium Member?
A - Someone that has donated to the site to help pay for the server costs to keep us alive.
Q - How do I become a premium member?
A - At this time, we have a button at the top of the site that can be clicked. Once you are on the donation page, there are various sets of options you can chose from. Currently we only accept PayPal payments but this may change in the future.
Q - Why should I become a premium member?
A - There are many reasons. One, you are helping us maintain the site, get upgrades when needed, and hopefully we can start giving out cash prizes when we have everything paid for and money left over so you would have a chance to win your money back.
Q - What is in the premium forums?
A - We have many people helping out in the premium forums. A few of the things we have in there right now are invites to beta programs, invites to private torrent sites, previews of what we will be releasing on the site, a section to ask our premium members what we think should be added, removed, or changed, and information that should not be released to the unpaid public.
Q - Are there any other advantages?
A - Yes, of course. We have set up a section for requests. Sometimes requests are overlooked in the public forums or the request has been fulfilled in the premium section and we feel that only premium members should have the access to it. Once premium, you are looked at as a higher ranking official. On top of that, the staff will try to help you with any problems you may need assistance with giving you the higher priority than regular members.
Another advantage is another secret forum, Projects. There we explain what we have planned for the site and we ask for premium members input. We try to make the site for the members and we feel that the members that help the site out the most should have a vote in what we do.
Q - What if I donate and I'm not promoted?
A - If this happens, please contact AzzidReign via PM. Sometimes this may happen for a few reasons. One being you didn't have a balance in your PayPal account so PayPal removes money from your bank account and transfers it over to the sites account. When this happens, it is viewed as an "eCheck" and can take a few business days to clear. Sometimes people will use a hacked account and the payment gets reversed almost instantly. Once the payment is reversed, our system automatically removes the member from Premium status and that user takes the risk of being permanently banned from the site and server (and we have many sites on our server).
Q - Do you offer refunds?
A - No! Once you buy, there will be absolutely no refunds since you can get everything you want after ONE day and then want your refund. No refunds!
If caught stealing from the section and posting at other sites, especially without giving credit, you will be demoted and your money will not be returned. So by donating, you are agreeing that if you act out, you will be demoted and not refunded.
All evidence will be upheld if need be for any disputes. If you use a fake paypal source, any information needed by authorities will be given.
