These rules are in place to make HGF a better place. With WEAKs backing, these rules have to be followed strictly otherwise we shall dole out 2 day suspensions. We don't like rules, but the recent mess of this community has prompted us to take action.

No posting external forum links, no PMing members any forum links and neither may you add a link to any forum, whether in your signatures or in a thread.

No promotion of external websites allowed on the forums, any promotion gets your URL banned. You may add up to two URLs to your signature, as long as they are not forum based. Any forum based websites get added to our blocklist, circumventing this blocklist is not allowed either. You may not attempt to steal traffic, this mainly aimed at Karl. When a thread exists between members posting an HGF refferal number you may not post yours otherwise your actions will be dealt with. You may post links to content that may be beneficial towards a discussion on these forums, if it's for promotional purposes you shall be dealt with.


haha sorry.. my sig broke both rules.. but I fix :D

At first I was like "fuck this" mostly cause I hate rules to begin with.

But I am usually not an ass (on purpose) so I don't see how this will affect me. I think this will really get the board back on the right track again.

Except for the external forum links, I don't see why that is really that big a deal?

Maybe a swear word filter too. But swearing is bad so we should know better anyway.


No joke if they make a "no swearing rule" do to young kids, I'm leaving.

lol it was a joke.... But I can see it happening.

I respect G and everything (You know I love you man) but I just dont understand why these rules came in.

yeah HGF has its pricks but thats life.... And it makes HGF fun sometimes. But the whole link thing sucks.... I dont think anyone posts forums anyway and if they did... so-fucking-what. This forum only has around 30 active users who come everyday anyway.... So its not like were gona leave for some new forum.

And the Chris thing seems lame as it was just a joke and it is fun having HGF vs Dfilms.

We've got a lot more than 30 daily active users lol, but anyway...

I'm lenient here, I don't act like a jerk but sometimes people take the piss and a few rules have to be implemented. These won't affect most people, they are just rules users should generally follow. I'm gonna close this thread to replies soon if people keep moaning.

And the no link to other forums rule is standard on most forums, I'm sick of removing links, so am basically asking for users not to post them in the first place.

The forum has been filled with so many faggots recently.


Why can't it be like the good ol' days with no saggy pussied newbs ruining my day.

These last 2 months has been a newbie frenzie and , the forum is starting to get so much more un chilled.

Everyone is so up tight about shit.

Whatever you say someone has to make some sort of comment about which will spark some sort of argument which completely ruins threads. Most of this is bieng started by damn newbies ban the last 20 members minus the cool ones.

Arg Newbs the suck0rz.

Do somthing Gaz pwease.

I'll admit, I am very protective over these forums. They may not be mine still, but I still feel that way. Anyway, as I say these rules arn't in place to stop you people having fun, I'm just saying people need to lighten up, and those who spam need to stop.

That's all.

Just so were clear G what links are they? I dont see many links added that should not be posted. I might have missed them though.

Can you list some that have been removed so we know the types?

Mostly all links are fine, like I said I don't mind when the post is for discussional purposes, but just plain straight out promotion isn't allowed. The links that get removed are external forum links, just because that's the way it is. When people post things like "OMG, check out my forum" or "check out this forum", that's when the thread gets moved straight to the trash section. Anyway, like I said most users already comply. These rules are just a guide for new people more than anything, and to stop people flaming.
