GameRiot Posting Rules

The following is a draft of GameRiot's ToS/posting rules:

1. NO SPAMMING do not post blogs more than once every ten minutes.

2. NO PERSONAL ATTACKS on other GameRiot users. Game based **** talk is fine and even expected and encouraged. But keep it about the *player*, not the person. And under no circumstances will the posting of anyone's real life address or other personal information be permitted.

3. DO NOT copy and paste full text articles. If you copy a portion of someone else's article (even if its just a sentence) be sure to cite your source and include commentary of your own.  Link to your sources.

4. NO RACIAL SLURS

5. DO NOT conduct your e-commerce on GameRiot. This includes but is not limited to advertising products, account/key selling, and peddling penis enlargement.

6. YOU MUST put *NSFW* in the headline of your article if it contains nudity or otherwise pornographic content. Blogs containing pornographic pictures or video must use link format rather than viewable format, and must relate - in some way - to video games. GameRiot is not a porn site. No PornRiot is currently planned.

----

These rules would apply especially to the creation of blogs but it would be common sense for users to consider them before commenting as well.  The point of these rules is simple: Maintain GameRiot as a *gaming site* first and foremost. You'll notice everything listed above prevents non-gaming related topics and the hijacking of game related topics.

Politics, Religion, and World Events are getting a pass right now because A) users seem to want to discuss them and B) there hasn't been an excess of hate mongering. If either A and B cease to be the case then the rules may change to reflect that.

The GameRiot staff feels the above rules clear the most useless content and prevent the greatest amount of pointless bickering without infringing too heavily on the creativity and freedom of our users.

That said, this is your chance to give feedback.
