Forum Rules

Make sure you are posting constructive criticism, whether it’s negative or positive. Contrary to what some people believe, we do take feedback from here into account.  

Notice: Administrators/Moderators reserve the right to change/edit/delete any content at any time if they feel it is inappropriate.

I. General Forum Rules:  

Do not:

• Flame or insult other members
• Bypass the swear filter or other filters
• Abuse or encourage abuse of the Reputation, Post Reporting, or Private Messaging Systems
• Post personally identifiable information (i.e. name, address, email, phone number, etc.)
• Bump threads
• Derail a thread’s topic
• Post links to phishing sites
• Post spam or Re-post Closed, Modified or Deleted Content
• Repetitively post in the incorrect forum (example: trade requests belong in trading forum)
• Openly argue with a moderator
• Share your account (forum accounts are intended for the use by one person)
• Create alternate, backup, or multiple accounts
• Publicly post or otherwise share PMs with other users unless you have the expressed permission of the sender to do so (private messages are intended to be just that – private)

II. The following topics are strictly off limits (including inserted links):

• Pornography, offensive, or any topics not appropriate in a public or work environment
• Piracy, warez, leaked content (*Any* discussion of piracy will result in a permanent ban from the ZG Forums)
• Cheating, hacking, game exploits
• Threats of violence or harassment, even as a joke
• Soliciting, begging, auctioning, selling, advertising, referrals
• Racism, discrimination
• Religious, political, and other “prone to huge arguments” threads

III. No Backseat Moderating: 

Please allow the Forum Moderators do the moderating. Backseat Moderating is when people who are not Moderators try to enforce the forum rules. Whenever you see a person breaking the rules, take advantage of the “Flag” link. Or simply IGNORE the offensive post(s) or thread.

IV. Report Post to the Moderators: 

Should you observe a fellow forum member breaking these rules please report the post by clicking the Flag button located at the bottom of every post, or feel free to contact any member of the ZG Admin Team.
