[ZenithZone] Rules & information
Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2024 12:05 pm
Welcome to the ZenithZone Community!
When registering you are considered to have read these rules and you agree 100% with what is written here.
If you are already registered at the time of posting the rules, your action of posting further is a tacit acceptance of its contents, whether you have read it or not.
ZenithZone is a forum intended for all categories of users (gamers, those in the IT&C world, people who want to develop a civilized conversation on various topics of culture and science, art and humor, etc.).
Discussions that fail to fall within the bounds of common sense and 7 years at home are not approved by the forum management, including those in private messages.
The moderators of the various sections are obliged to respect this desideratum and therefore have the right to close or delete any parallel discussion. The use of warnings and explanations is considered useful, in the hope that certain attitudes/errors of expression will be corrected in the future.
It is recommended to use the "Search" option to see if the topic you wish to discuss in the form of starting a new topic has not already been discussed.
The use of uncivil, aberrant language, IRC-like discussions, monosyllabic replies such as "yes", "lol", "that's right", etc., promotion of software piracy and posts that contravene current legislation are not allowed. We want every user of this forum to be protected by the current rules, therefore, the function/nationality/race/age of the user assaulted by insults does not matter, and the offender will bear the consequences.
Each user is responsible for what they write, the management of this forum takes no responsibility for your opinions.
The fact that a user has a different opinion, well argued and expressed, does not indicate a lack of respect for his interlocutors and their opinions.
Discussion topics that are essentially intended to cause a scandal are forbidden - both their initiators and those who get caught up in this "game" will be severely punished.
Clones are not accepted. A new account made by a user whose old account has been deleted is not considered a clone. If a user is banned/suspended and creates an account that they use to circumvent that sanction, both accounts will be deleted. This rule is retroactive.
Avatars, custom titles, signatures and nicknames must not be anti-Semitic, racist, pornographic or excessively violent. Their message must not cause any kind of confusion between user and moderator/administrator or violate the laws of our country. These specifications are not limitative - we reserve the right to introduce further restrictions in the future depending on situations that arise.
User nicknames cannot change more often than 30 days, ONLY users with a minimum of 50 posts can make such a request, link here.
In addition to these rules, it is advisable to read the rules of the sections where you want to start activity.
Only posts in Romanian or English are allowed on this forum.
