Forum Rules
The GameTavern message forums are privately owned. This means we have our own rules which must be followed by all forum users. Please note that "Freedom of Speech" does not apply to privately owned message boards.
The following offenses can result in your immediate suspension from the board:
- Posting anything of a pornographic nature
- Antagonizing other forum users or attempting to start a flame
war. This includes fans of rival consoles making posts that
bash a console or person instead of adding something
constructive to the argument.
- Attacking, bashing, or otherwise maliciously insulting
moderators or administrators
- Posting anything of a racially offensive nature
- Post-cramming or "spamming" in order to increase your
post/doubloon count
- Advertising for a site in a place other than your signature
NEW RULE: In an effort to allow the Admins of GameTavern a way to punish unruly members of the Tavern, as of right now we are instituting a new form of discipline.
Designated Drivers.
Anyone who does not follow the rules of GT, particularity anyone who flames, is popping up as the instigator in several locked threads or anyone who is just being an ass in general will become a Designated Driver.
Designated Drivers will suffer the following:
- No Access to the Arcade
- No Attachments
- Loss of access to their control panel
- Signatures Deleted
- Current avatar replaced with an empty glass (the mark of the DD)
All Admins can make any other member a Designated Driver, any warning issued to an unruly member should be considered a courtesy, and thus they are not required to give someone any prior notice. Bitching about not being warned or demanding to be served are sure fire ways to extend your dry period.

Reputation
**Note: Reputation system currently inactive
Every member has certain privileges which is based on their amount of reputation. Please note that your privileges are not based on the number of posts you’ve accumulated. The rank which appears under your name is the only thing that is post count dependent. In addition, you will gain 1 gold star for every 1000 posts up to 5000.
It’s in your best interest to build your reputation as it determines what you’re actually able to do in the forums. There are four promotional groups which you can reach by having a specific level of reputation.
P0 (registered user)
P1 Bronze (500 reputation or 1000 posts)
P2 Silver (1000 reputation or 2000 posts)
P3 Gold (1500 reputation or 3000 posts PLUS registered for at least 1 year)
P4 Platinum (2000 reputation or 4000 posts PLUS registered for at least 1 year)
You gain a certain # of rep points for every positive rating. The amount of points received is based on the rep power of the user who gave you the rating (default is 10). Ratings are made by clicking on the scales icon on the lower left corner of someone's post. If you receive 1 positives for 10 points each on 50 of your posts, that's 500 points of positive rep for you. This system will be tweaked based on how often people actually give ratings.
You gain one green pip for every 10 rep and a bright green pip for every 20 rep.

User Groups
**Note: No new user groups being accepted at this time
If you are a member of the 2nd promotional group (Silver), you will have the option of creating your own user group. For example, you could start your own fan club if you like and you can choose which users belong to it. A forum will be created which only members your group can access via password. You must have at least 5 people initially for your group to be created. Each group will have a specific font/color that your members’ user names will be displayed in. A list of current user groups you can join can be viewed by clicking “Profile > User Groups.” Many of these will be left free for you to join unless a P2 level user wants to take over as that group’s leader. The leader will have minor mod privileges for that forum but will not be considered a member of the staff.
Your PRIMARY user group is the one which your main forum privileges are based. You cannot leave this user group (except by automatic promotion based on your reputation).
Your IDENTIFIED user group is the one you publicly identify with. Your username will be displayed in the style of the group you identify with.
Most of the user groups have no additional privileges; They simply contribute to your overall persona on the forums. For example, users who have been here for one year will become members of the “Seniors” group. This group has no additional privileges but it’s nice to have in your profile.
Examples of current or potential restricted groups:
Seniors: Here for one year
Veterans: Here for two years
Promotional groups #1-4: based on reputation
Skull Squadron: Neo’s groupies
Signature Restrictions
The maximum pixels allowed in a signature is 550 pixels x 200 pixels (That is... 550 wide, 200 high). That is the maximum size. Pictures can be smaller than either of those boundaries, but not larger. Text is allowed to wrap around, but you are not to break the 200 pixel limit.
Also, a size limit of 200 kilobytes is enforced. If you are found having a signature image larger than 200 kb, it will be deleted on sight. As well, if you put more than one image, then they shall only be no more than 200 kb in size sum.
And just to clarify that, you can only have one main image in your signature (Which can be no larger than 550 x 200). You can also use text and smilies, but only one actual image.
Here's the size area:
As well, there will be no extra size allowances. 550 wide by 200 high is the maximum size area. Signatures even one pixel larger than either of those limits are to be altered.
If you receive a PM from any of the staff asking you to change your signature, you are expected to do so as soon as possible. People that need help in changing the size and whatnot can visit the "Writer's Guild" board.
