Welcome to the WorldSims Forums, where we can gather to chat about almost anything, technical, non-technical, gaming, or non-gaming in nature.
We do ask that you follow some basic guidelines while chatting here, and ask you respect the following:
While we are quite happy to tolerate constructive criticism and comparative conversations, however we will not tolerate blatant advertisements or the sort of 'oooh!!! Look!' or 'Yet another blah blah' styled threads. Also, we would appreciate it if you refrain from blatant bashing of other sites.
While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, purposeless inflammatory posts or personal attacks. Please respect each other's views. Our decision is final in these matters.
Please refrain from posting meaningless threads, one word (or short) non-sense posts, or the such.
Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
Advertising, spamming and trolling (http://members.aol.com/intwg/trolls.htm) is not allowed. This includes using the forum email and Private message system to spam other members.
Please wait a reasonable amount of time before bumping posts. For technical issues and general 'how-to' questions this should be 24 hours. For specific troubleshooting issues, use 12 hours as a guideline.
We also do not allow posts that are sexual in nature or violate WorldSims community standards. The WorldSims Team shall be the sole arbitrator of what does and what does not violate the morale and ethical standards of this community.
Discussion of Illegal activities, such as software and music piracy, and other intellectual property is not permitted in any form or manner.
Each member is allowed one login account. Registering with multiple accounts is not permitted. Attempting to circumvent this rule will cause your account(s) to banned, per the discretion of the administrator.
We reserve the right to remove threads/posts without notice.
If you are going to post non-English on these forums, please also post an English Translation of your post.
Also while these rules cover most common situations, they cannot anticipate everything. Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
You cannot post any affiliate or referral links, or post anything asking for a referral. Such posts will be subject to removal. WorldSims may from time to time post approved affiliate/referral links.
Advertising and spam in general is not allowed in all forums. Fansites wishing to showcase their work may do so in the Community Showroom (http://forums.worldsims.org/forumdisplay.php?f=36).
We ask that you do not use obscene and vulgar language on this site. There are millions of words in the English language, so why must one resort to using profanity to describe our thoughts and feelings? It only portrays one as unintelligent at best. Continue use of obscene language will be removed and/or edited, and possibly a ban, subjected to the WorldSims Team discretion.
We reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates site guidelines.
