Rules Of the Chit Chat Section

Only-topics

Here's a brief explanation : "Only" topics are the only ones that must exist about... a precise theme. Briefly, that's where you have to post to talk about something that is related to the subject. If you create another topic, it will be closed and we will indicate the link to the only-topic.
However, to avoid proliferation of this kind of topic, only moderators can create them. More, the themes we talk about in these topics are the ones we find frequently in the General Discussions

- Movies
- Anime/Manga
- Videogames and Consoles
- Personal problems


What General Discussions ARE NOT FOR

- An advertising space for your forums and other websites
- A space where we post trap link such as cyberfinger-style links.
- A space where we post links for lottery games or for websites to gain money, or even for paypal codes.
- A space for flood (For example, word chains games are forbidden because they don't bring any discussion and they uselessly overload the forum)
- An arena space for public flame wars. PMs are there for this
- A space for non-constructive polls such as "Do you prefer broccoli or carrots?", "Do you prefer LOTR or HP?"
- A space for requests of moderators/admins for GZpower.
- A space where you ask technical-related personal questions which the answer can be found on Google or on specialized websites (ex : I have problems with my anti-virus // I would like to buy a new screen, what do you recommend me?) Moderators and members are not specialized in computer stuff and they can't answer you accurately.


Behaviors which must be avoid

- Having shocking sayings (racist, homophobic, sexist, invitations to commit genocides, etc.)
- Post to say nothing (flood)
- Double-posting. Please, edit your posts
- Correct people who do mistakes regarding the rules. It's the moderator's job to do this. Well, but you ARE NOT moderators
- To be aggressive towards co-forumers
- Having fun to destroy a topic you judge uninteresting, but that may interest other people.
- Even if it's understandable that people may have some orthograph problems, please avoid SMS language, for respect towards co-forumers.


Sanctions

Will be closed : topics who don't follow the rules
Will be banned : members who will continue to ignore the rules even if we warned them and/or will post deliberately :
- Trap links or lottery games
- Aggressive messages against anyone
- Attempts to destroy any topic judged uninteresting by your ego

- Who will try to create "clans" and to turn against one category of users
