Signature Files

Signature picture limitations are:

Up to a width of 400 pixels and lower: Maximum height allowed 250 pixels (Max Height New)

Width starting from 400 pixels to a max of 700 pixels: Maximum height of 350 pixels (Max Height New)

In addition to the signature image - provided that the maximum size is not exceeded - the signature can still contain one or two lines of text. Within the signature please refrain from the use of quotations as they may not indicate the required statement of the quoted. As is common in Internet forums, a separation between signatures and discussions is required. In the interest of all forum participants we point out, that within the signature (as well as generally in the forum) cursing, swearing, flaming etc. is not allowed. Excessive use of smileys should also be omitted.

Personal Data

Publishing of any personal data i.e. names, addresses, telephone numbers is forbidden. Before quoting any email, in-game-message, IRC/ICQ query from a non official Steel Legions channel you are required to ask all involved persons for permission. Exceptions for this are in-game-messages, emails and queries that cannot be assigned to a certain person.

We reserve the right to Edit, Delete or move posts without further announcement if you do not apply to the above mentioned conditions. Users who repeatedly violate any or all of these conditions will result in a temporary ban (up to 30 Days) or even a permanent ban

Staff Abuse

It is strictly prohibited to insult any SS staff members, or the company, as we do not take staff abuse lightly. You will be exempt from the normal punishment structure and dealt with as the senior staff see fit which can range from warning to permanent banning.

This may lead to a suspension of all your accounts used in Steel Legions.
Spam is forbidden anywhere in the whole forum

We define spam as follows:

Useless threads, posts with the same content in different boards (cross-posting), threads with no stated topics, posts that artificially keep a thread alive. i.e. Thread bumping.
Those spam definitions do not apply to the off-topic sections. If a thread or post is counted as spam, it could get edited, closed and if necessary the affected parties will receive a warning

Note: Before posting rethink the message you want to spread with a posting/thread. Ask yourself to which forum or sub-forum your post fits best. If you have any doubts you should contact a moderator for help. Furthermore, before creating a new thread use "search" function to find similar threads and post in there. Read the "important" and "stuck" threads at the respective board before posting in them.

Note: All rules posted in the CoC - are also to be followed at the forum.

We consistently try to offer competent moderation in the boards through moderators selected by our licensed partners and Splitscreen Studios

We fully back up those moderators and they should not be understood as police of the board but simply partners for user questions.

Nevertheless the moderators have the right and obligation to warn users or even ban them from discussions if above stated guidelines are ignored
