    This might help out some of the newer members that aren't used to some or all of these games. As a side note, I haven't moderated any forums in quite a long time so I'm not used to doing things like this so if I miss some rules or something feel free to yell at me below. And as said above, give me some feedback as to what you think of this thread.


    1) If you are unfamiliar with a game, read the rules. We are starting to have all sorts of different forum games around here and I'm sure most new members will not be up to speed on the rules for every single one of them. The first thread of each game will have (or at least should, if it doesn't tell me) the rules to that game in it. Simply read these rules and follow them and you'll be fine, plus you'll be able to enjoy the game more.

    2) Keep all posts family-friendly. Yeah some of these games allow for a bit of... creativity to say the least. However, we've got people ranging from all different age groups on these boards and no one wants to see a bunch of those "potty words" or "naughty pictures". I'll be honest with all you people, I really don't care if there's a curse or something slightly "suggestive" every now and then but don't be posting ****ography (hope that word isn't filtered) or using the F-Bomb in every other post. Just don't do it or I'll bring out the ban-hammer. Actually I don't have the power to ban people but I can still bring out the edit-hammer! :smash:

    3) Don't spam! I realize that a lot of posting can be done in this section, but that doesn't mean that you have to spam. It's not funny, it's not cool, and the only thing that it results in is a bunch of angry members. Plus it makes me mad. And you don't want that. Now some people are confused as to what spam is. I will give you my definition of spam and what I don't want done in here. Spamming (to me) is-

    4) Double-posting. If there's a game that you really like it's okay to bump it in an attempt to revive it. But don't make a post and then a day or two later go back and make another post in there. A two-day old thread is not "outdated". Double posts will be edited with a note from me.

    5) Posting things that don't have to do with the thread. This is simple and self-explanatory.

    6) Don't go around creating new forum games right and left. There's a suggestion thread around here somewhere, that way it can be approved first. Don't worry, if it gets passed you'll be able to create it yourself :)

    7) All Forum Games are required to have a Stay or Close poll, please add the poll when posting the game. If you don't add a poll your game will be locked until one is added.

    8) If you don't know what to post... don't post. The thread will still be there tomorrow or next week or whenever you have a new idea.

    9) Be respectful of other forum gamers. This should be common sense, but don't be bashing each other or throwing insults around. Have fun, and play nice.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~

    I will try to enforce the above rules as best I can. If you break them, you will know.

    I mess with your posts in this color.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~

    Hopefully this will help improve the forum games section and give the new members a clue. ;)

    And remember, please post your opinions on these rules below!

    :)

    I think that the policy is 24-hours per thread bump.
    Also, you might want to lock this thread, but that's just an opinion.

    Bumping would be different if there were a ton of topics being created. That's not the case though.

    And why would I close this? Then I wouldn't be able to receive feedback. :)

    Hack10 and a few others do not seem to be listening in http://www.gameogre.com/forums/forum-games/5956-you-know-your-gameogre-too-much-when-37.html#post125451 i already asked jared to help me say something, but obviously they don't even listen to me the thread creator and a mod to this forum section. last thing i can ask to do is either a) shut it down, which i don't want to do....
    or b) delete the people's who can't even copy and paste a section of a response. then have the mod post.
    c) which I am not even going to consider at the moment - removing the "you know your on gameogre too much when...." from being in someone's post.

    so i created a thread that apparently got "spammed" that means it gets closed down? T^T
    [i put spammed in inverted commas cuz i havnt read the posts, they were deleted]

    btw, i havnt been on here that long so i feel like i need to ask: posting two or more times in the same thread in 48hours is counted as spam? >x<

    It depends on what you posted. I haven't seen the thread in question, but I would play it safe and wait until somebody responds before posting again:).
