§3. Users are prohibited from:

● The title of a created topic must correspond in meaning to the message opening it. This serves to facilitate reading the topic, simplify the work of moderators, and ease navigation in the forum. There is a taboo on topic titles such as, for example, "Help!!!", "Must read!" or "AAAAAAA!!!!".

The topic title must reflect the essence of the question or message opening it.

● Identical messages in one/several forums by the same player are prohibited. Use the EDIT. function for this.

● It is not recommended to use a large amount of graphics in your messages. Do not write the entire text in large font, and do not highlight the font in color, except to draw attention to a passage of text, do not overuse uppercase. All this makes communication on the forum difficult. The moderator in such cases has the right, at their discretion, to demand that the user comply with this clause.

● Overquoting is prohibited - abuse of the [quote] tag (quote). When using quotes, do not forget to cut off the excess. Quote only the text regarding which you want to publish your opinion on the forum.

The topic author has the right to ask the moderator to close the topic at any time.

Moderators, like users, must discuss controversial cases in private discussions.
