As you are on the forums, please keep these things in mind:

GENERAL GUIDELINES:

FLAMING - Flaming is defined as openly bashing someone for the sake of insulting them. An example of such would be "You are a goddamn retard". It's meant to be an insult and nothing more. Flaming is not tolerated on the forum, and it will be dealt with accordingly.

SPAMMING - Spamming is essentially just posting just for the sake of posting or increasing your post count. Spam, while it sometimes can be subjective, will be examined and dealt with by the staff if the case may be. Additionally, if the case is that you have to add something to a recent post, use the edit button and edit that post instead of posting again. Bumping a topic just for the sake of bumping it is not allowed either, unless you have something to add to the topic.

In addition, any;
- messages without any readable content,
- posting of irrelevant file attachments,
- deliberate repeat posting,
- posting intended only to "bump"/revive a topic,
- posting of referral links to "free iPod" or other similar sites,
- or other posting deemed completely pointless not mentioned,
will be considered spam and are therefore not permitted.

NECROPOSTING - Necroposting is generally frowned upon on the forums, especially when it deals with topics directly relating to MKF. Necroposting is posting in a topic that is really old. As in, a few months, or just really out of date. Before you post in the topic, check the last date on it, and make sure that the topic is still relevant before posting. Lastly, if you wish to post in a very old topic, PLEASE KEEP YOUR POST RELEVANT TO THE TOPIC. If you see necroposting that does not apply to any of the above, REPORT IT TO A MODERATOR AND/OR AN ADMIN. PLEASE DO NOT POST IN RESPONSE TO THE NECROPOST.

WAREZ - Warez. Roms. Piracy. A rather legally grey area in some cases (with roms and emulators), and a rather illegal area with filesharing and piracy. Generally, while it is fine to discuss if you have pirated, or if you use emulators and what have you, the distribution of said files is taboo. Please do not post in the forum asking for roms/warez, and don't post any links to them either. DO NOT REQUEST OR POST LINKS TO ROMS, WAREZ, SERIALS, CRACKS, OR ANY SITES WITH THESE THINGS.

REPUTATION - Reputation system disabled permanently due to high volume of abuse and complaints.

DO NOT POST INFLAMMATORY MATERIAL.
- Reasonable expression of opinion is encouraged. Flaming and flame wars are not reasonable expression of opinion.

AVOID THE CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS.
- Posts on forbidden topics are subject to locking or outright removal on sight. They are forbidden largely because they frequently lead to violation of other rules, especially flaming. The following topics are forbidden from discussion on the forums:
- Gratuitous sex
- Senseless violence
- Politics (including gun control)
- Religion
- Whining about permitted topics
- Polls with either one choice or far too many choices
- Polls or discussion about favorite/least favorite site-related person.
- "Vendetta" topics that bash any person, whether it is a forum-goer, or other people who were banned from the forums.
- Whiny drama-queen emo topics. Example: threatening to leave. If you hate it here, get out of here. We do not need to listen to you troll for attention.
- Excessive "What's your favorite..." topics
- Baseless threats against any user.

DO NOT ENFORCE THE RULES.
- It is the job of the moderators and administrators to enforce the rules, not the users. If you are concerned that someone is in violation of the rules, you may wish to contact them privately. Do not reply to the topic. The appropriate board moderator or administrator will decide how to deal with it. In particular, it is not necessary to point out any issues involving spelling, punctuation, grammar or writing styles in public. Please avoid doing so.

DO NOT TELL THE STAFF TO ENFORCE THE RULES.
- The staff will enforce the rules as they see fit. Again, if you are concerned, contact the staff privately. Do not reply to topics telling the staff how to moderate.

BAN RELATED INFORMATION:
From now on, any member banned from MKFR will have their warn logs posted publicly, along with links to relevant topics that led to the ban. Now, you will no longer wonder why a certain person is banned. This information will appear in a new forum called The Jail.


MKF RELATED GUIDLINES:

1. If you have a question about the game, please read the readme files and the in-game help (press F1 in the game) before posting help questions.

2. Do not ask about release dates for the next version. We do not give out release dates. Why? If we announce a date and we miss it, people will get disappointed. New versions will be released as they get done.

3. If you have a bug or an error you wish to report, post it in the Bug Reports forum.

4. If you are experiencing problems with MKF not loading, this is because of GM loading everything before letting you play. This problem is well known and is constantly being addressed. In the meantime, just wait and give it more time to load, or just wait until a later version is released.


We hope you enjoy your stay!
