Special Notes:
1.) During E3 (Saturday, June 10th *through* Thursday, June 15th) all reaction threads will be locked. A reaction thread consists of such things as "Wow Sony just won E3!", "God of War has the best graphics ever!", "Is the PS4 doomed now?", "Where is Final Fantasy VII?? Where's Kingdom Hearts 3!?", "Are you buying an Xbox One now?", "Does Warner Bros have anything left? They announced so many games!", "Does Nintendo have the best Western third party support of any console?", or anything else that is just a thread about immediate reactions to events. For the duration, these threads will be locked on sight. If you feel you have somethings important to say on these matters, either ask in the main conference threads, or write-up a really good thread on it and post it on Friday, June 16th.
2.) If you post a news thread, make sure it contains actual details of the news at hand. If your thread is simply Title: "OMG ANIMAL CROSSING 3DS 2 ANNOUNCED!" Body: "ON THE STREAM!" your thread may be locked and we reserve the right to junior you, since this goes against normal thread policies anyway.
3.) Do not post new news from E3 in a pre-E3 thread. Either make a new thread, or pick an existing thread made during E3.
Policy Reminders:
1.) Do not complain about the purpose of a thread. This includes complaining about people judging gameplay in a gameplay video thread, judging graphics in a screenshot thread, or calling something too nitpicky or biased in a review/technical analysis/critique thread. Instead, if you disagree, either post the reason (in detail) that you disagree with the point being made ("I think the graphics look great, just look at the shadowing and texture detail!", "I don't notice frame hitching at 60 fps personally, so it doesn't bother me.", "In my experience with the game, I found the encounter design to be great actually, for example..."), or simply avoid the thread if you feel you are unable to.
2.) If you feel there's a problem with someone breaking the rules, simply PM a mod and do not engage. There are only ~20 mods and tens of thousands of posts a day, so we simply cannot be everywhere and see every infraction without your help.
Other Notes:
1.) All other rules obviously still apply. For specifics, see our FAQ forum and the Terms of Service. For general information on how to post in high volume, high tension situations, read this note by EviLore.
2.) If you have any questions, please PM a moderator. If a question comes up frequently, we will post an update here. If not, you will receive an answer via PM. Due to volume, your answer may not be immediate.
