The TBG Community Guidelines
updated 22 Mar 2024

These rules are subject to change with immediate notice in the Announcements topic.

Reporting.
- Report a post or topic if it violates the following guidelines.
- Report a post or topic if you need to bring it to a moderator's attention for any other reason.
- The report function may be used for other purposes as well, ex. during forum cleans.
- Abuse of the report button is not allowed.
Posting.
- Topics may not be used to advertise text based games on other websites. All text based games must have the ability to be played here.
- Stay on topic. If a game has gone off its intended course, make a post that steers it back.
- Always be friendly to, and respect, other users. Trolling or insulting is not allowed.
- If you see posts that are argumentative or 'flamebait', ignore and report. Don't feed the trolls.
- Any text, images or links you post must be appropriate for all ages.
- If you want to bump a game, do so by playing it. Don't just post "bump". (RPGs are excepted.)
- Don't spam.
- Follow the rules of each game.
- Post and signature content should not make it difficult for others to read the thread. Avoid using excessive markups. Posts or signatures that make the site extremely difficult to read and post on may be edited by moderators to fix these issues.
Account creation.
- Accounts dedicated to advertisement are strictly not allowed. Such accounts are subject to immediate ban, IP ban, and deletion on the first offence.
- Alternate accounts (an account created by a person already having an account) used solely for the purpose of cheating in gameplay are strictly not allowed. Such accounts are subject to immediate deletion on the first offence, and possible main-account and/or IP ban on subsequent offences.
Miscellaneous.
- If you find a bug in the site's software, do not abuse it. Report any posts that use software bugs. Please contact the moderators privately with details of the bug in question. Posts abusing bugs may be edited or deleted by the moderators, and repeated abuse may result in a ban.

Thank you for playing at the Text Based Games Forums.
