Rules

1) No NSFW Material

Do not post text, images, media of a pornographic/sexually explicit nature, content depicting extreme violence, or anything else that would be unsafe for work outside of designated forums (if any). These subjects generally fall outside the purpose of this community.

2) No Malware

Don't post malicious software of any kind. If it is a piece of software for discussion or study such as a retro malware, keep file sharing within private messages.

3) Be Nice to One Another

Don't harass, annoy, troll, threaten, or flame other members. Be courteous and respectful to everyone, and keep all critique constructive in tone. Do not provoke arguments or attempt to "bait" other members. Always ask permission before revealing any sensitive personal information about someone else.
Treat everyone equally and fairly. All discussions should be kept respectful and open to other perspectives. Any debates or arguments that devolve into personal attacks or an otherwise condescending nature will be dealt with harshly.
Reports and/or requests to ban a member may only be discussed in private.

4) No Spam

Keep discussions meaningful and on-topic - do not deliberately derail threads or disrupt conversations. Off Topic is for these kinds of things.

5) Topic Relevance

Please try to keep discussions contained within the appropriate forums. We would like for conversations to be easy to find and follow for our users. Do not discuss participation in or information on how to engage in illegal activities.

6) No Outside Disputes

Do not bring drama from somewhere else into this forum. Similarly, please do not take matters that started inside this forum to other places on the Internet. What happens in Retro Dreams stays in Retro Dreams.

7) Be Responsible

Do not fuel the flames if you see a toxic post - report posts if the mod team aren't alerted to an issue. It isn't being a snitch; it's helping keep the community's atmosphere clean and friendly.

8) General Maturity

Be an intelligent, sensible contributor to the chat. Some things to avoid:
- "typin liek dis........ XDXDXD"; writing in barely understandable English or foreign languages, or consistently showing an inability to understand basic English.
- Frequently instigating arguments or disrupting the community in some other negative way.
- Asking for help in some way and then showing a complete disregard for any help that is given.

We reserve the right to ban serial or flagrant violators of these rules. Do not try to find flaws or loopholes in the rules and abuse them. Warnings will be administered based on the spirit, not the letter, of the rules.

Additionally all rules are subject to change, without notice, by the administration team.
