Search before posting! This rule is pretty much self-explanatory. We encourage you to search the forums before posting.

This rule also sort of goes along with the next rule. Also, do a little searching, make sure that what your planning on posting

hasn't already been posted.

Post in the correct section! We can't stress this enough you guys, you must read the forum description before

posting or making a thread. If there is no forum topic that doesn't match the topic you wish to discuss, post it in the General

Discussion forum.

Before posting please ask yourself the following question: "Am I making a post that is informative, or

interesting on any level?" If you've answered "yes" to the question than you should go right ahead and post, if you've

answered "no" than you should refrain from posting, if you go ahead and post anyway, you will probably get an infraction based on

the Mod's opinion.

Before replying, please ask yourself this question: "Does my reply offer any advice or help to contribute to the

conversation in any fashion?" If you can answer "yes" to that question, than please proceed and reply. If you cannot, than

please refrain from replying.

Posting Rules

Low Quality Posts: Please refrain from making posts that contain no content at all, ie, "first", "hello", "im new" etc.

These sort of posts just fill up the forum, and we try to eliminate them as much as possible but that sometimes doesn't work. Tip

to evoid breaking this rule, write like you would as if you were talking to somebody in real life. Don't use slang words either,

they just make you look immature, act your age.

Stay on Topic: Please try and stay on topic whilst posting or replying to someone's thread. If you find a thread and see

that people aren't on topic, post in there telling them to get on topic.

Flame: We don't support any sort of flame here at HUD. As we said earlier, we are a charitable gaming community, so be nice :).

Staff and Poster Respect: The mods here at HUD are here to keep the forums safe, secure, and enjoyable for everybody. If

they ask you to do something, please do it. Please do not harass or intentionally annoy the mods here at HUD, they don't deserve

posting or making a thread about or even PMing them about how to do their job.
