Welcome to the McLeodGaming Forums! I'm the owner of the site. This forum is part of my main site McLeodGaming.com. I make both Flash games and animations which you'll find on the main site. Go ahead and post to your heart's content, just make sure you follow these few simple rules:

1.) Although there are a few word filters, I don't want you saying anything that can't be said on daytime TV!

2.) Overall, be nice to each other in this forum. No threats, hate messages, or anything of the like are allowed. (No flaming!)

3.) No stealing ideas from other members, especially those related to their upcoming games/movies! (This includes claiming sprites that you didn't make as your own!)

4.) NO POSTING SPAM!! (That includes links to sites with obnoxious flashing images, or posting a topic with no significance to anything whatsoever, etc.)
*Requesting a lock will be considered as spam as well.

5.) No malicious hidden links or anything of the sort.

6.) No posts with inappropriate material. (Anything that can't be said or seen on basic cable can't be said or seen here!)

7.) NO POSTS IN ALL CAPS PLEASE!

8.) No impersonating other members, especially me!

9.) No posting another member's personal information such as name, address. etc. You can post yours if you REALLY want to but it's your responsibility.

10.) Please DO NOT make any references to anything that has to do with file-sharing, bootlegging, emulators, roms, modifying console systems, etc. or anything else that could get this site closed down!

11.) Refrain from bumping topics older than 14 days; If it's a topic that you think can make a worthwhile contribution to you may post, however take into consideration that it is up to a moderators discretion whether or not you will be warned for it

12.) No consecutive posting! (Unless you are updating a topic you made, do not post again in a topic after yourself before getting a response from someone, just edit your post if you need to clarify something)

13.) No posting spoilers of any kind for a book, TV show, etc., without clearly indicating that the post is a spoiler. (Ex. type "SPOILER" in all caps)

14.) No signing up just for the sake of advertising purposes (That INCLUDES having an online poker account as your website reference!)

15.). No signing up with multiple usernames (That means NO ALTERNATE ACCOUNTS!!!)

16.) I will not be held responsible for any third party links posted by anyone on these forums.

17.) Don't post or create topics asking (explicitly or implicitly) to become a moderator

18.) Don't post topics complaining about other members.

19.) If you don't like a topic.... DON'T POST IN IT!

20.) DO NOT POST IN A BOT TOPIC. (Meaning suspicious looking topics made by forum bots that probably contain graphic material or malicious hyperlinks)

21.) Don't put giant pictures in your sig or avatar, it shouldn't stretch your post box much more than it would if you didn't have any sig or avatar. If they cause horizontal scrollbars to appear or I think they're too big I might yell at you.

22.) Don't make organized topics for spamming other forums (or this one either)

23.) Don't post flashy animated pictures that can cause seizures

24.) Don't advertise to other members through PMs.

25.) Do not embed flash or videos in your sig or anywhere else that does anything without user consent (play music, open window, etc)

26.) Do NOT quote pyramid Flash, anywhere!

27.) No posting personal R.I.P. topics. (Not that we don't care, but there is no need to tell the world)

Overall, use your common sense and keep everything work-safe!

Consequences for breaking the rules:

By breaking the rules, you may receive warning notifications via PM. These warnings are recorded in your profile, and if you receive 3 total warnings you will be banned for 3 days. Several other conditions apply:

- Warnings will expire after 14 days upon receiving the warning. These 14 days applies to the date each individual warning was issued, and they will expire one after the other until no more warnings are left.

- You will receive an automatic ban for every warning you receive after the third warning.

- Under special circumstances under my discretion, you may receive a ban before you receive your third warning. Things like mass spamming (spam-section included if you're just posting the same thing over and over), mass account creation, or posting inappropriate material on the site will NOT be tolerated. A ban you receive under these circumstances could last anywhere from weeks, to months, or in the worse-case scenario, permanent!
