1) No cussing, period. This includes abbreviations. If you do, our word filter will happily remind you.
2) Do not use excessive lettering and quotations in your post.
3) Do not post anything that is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, threatening, or invasive of a person's privacy.
4) Post a topic once (do not carbon copy topics)
5) Though we do not set limits on bumping topics, please use common sense when you do- make sure you have something very important to say in case you make a bump, for example, over two months since the last post.
6) Respect other people in this forum. If you have a conflict with anyone, be it staff or contributors, please email me and I will try and work something out. If it's a personal matter, do not discuss it in the forums; if it's over mod publishing rights, for example, that's alright.
7) We love it when people advertise their sites here. However, if your posting non-halo related websites, please keep them in your signature, profile, or in the Off Topic Forum located in the Halo Archives Lounge. If you want to advertise for Halo sites, we'd prefer that you take advantage of our clans list and our Halo Sites resources.
8) Signatures. Signatures are meant to help identify you and to express any brief information you want to tell people who view it. our size limit may be more strict than other forums, but we do this so that your signature does not inconvenience other people. The total height of your signature should not be more than 150 pixels high, this is including any text you may add. If you use too large of an image, our "sig image size regulator" will block your image. If you're using Firefox, you have the benefit of not seeing a signature that exceeds the 150 px height (some signatures will have lots of spaces in it, this can increase the height of the signature unnecessarily).
9) If you're planning to post in our support forums for help, please check the "Answered Questions" forums first (they're usually located below the support forums). There may have already been a question similar to yours that got answered.
10) Try to keep updates to mods and files in the same topic unless the mod is drastically different than the previous version(s)
11) Profile images should be less than 600x600 pixels
12) Do not post links to adult-only sites or to sites that prompt an EXE file download upon entry. Consider this your final warning: doing so will get you permabanned with no chance of reconsideration.
13) Do not post just for the sake of spamming outside of the spam forum; Spamming in this case refers to copying random text, creating a new topic, and posting it for no particular reason. You get 3 strikes, then your account is suspended for 30 days.
14) In regard to Halo Trial, do not request for "other Halo levels" or for someone to make a hack to play Halo PC maps
15) If you are an advertiser for an organization or company seeking profit, you may not advertise. If you create a spambot that harasses the H.A. on any occasion, consider your IP banned.
16) Do not promote Xbox Live modding/cheating/bridging. You will be banned for a month if found in violation of this rule. If you are merely asking questions about how to do so, don't. We will give you only one warning. If you continue to ask, you will be given 3 "warnings" and your account will be suspended for a week. We support Bungie and we believe that the only way to help stop Xbox Live cheating is by prohibiting any content in the forms of referring links or posts that promote it on this site.
If you do not wish to comply with these terms, please do not continue. |
