Well I realized that this is the only sub forum with out rules. I didn't think that this needed them because no rules have really been broken all the time, but I feel like I'm not doing anything if this doesn't have rules too. So make way for the magical spekcial rules of techoness.



If it's a rule here (http://www.charlie-bone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2), it's a rule everywhere. (That means here too).
Don't spam. It's just spam is spam, and no one likes it. It's like the sticky stuff that'll case a forum's blood to clog and eventually it'll kill it. No spam. And plus, every time you spam someone kills a kitten.
Don't double post, yeah, just don't do it.
Since I'm not good at this kinds of stuff, here is a quoted word from Nevie:yes. Let me share with you the rules I have established for online gaming.

Nevermore's Online Gaming Rules

As you all know, I think it's a bad idea to chat off the forum. Chats can't be monitored, and if someone starts to harass you, there's nothing I can do to help you. This also goes for video games. When you game online with people, there's no one to monitor what goes on. So even for an innocent game like Animal Crossing, you chat and play at your own risk when other gamers get involved.

ASK YOUR PARENTS' PERMISSION
before you swap your friend codes with people off the net. If they are aware that you're on this forum, and aware that you want to game with people from this forum, and are totally OK with that, you can share your friend codes. If your parents are NOT ok with this, don't go doing it behind their backs. That's not cool.

A slightly different twist to the chat rules

Normally I'd say that you should edit out contact details as soon as your friend sees them, in order to prevent forum lurkers from adding you to their email lists, however for Wii online gaming, things work a little differently.
Someone can add my friend code, but if I don't add theirs, they can't play with me. Because of this, I'll say it's ok to leave a friend code up, because people won't be able to contact you if you don't add their code, too. This prevents strangers from off the forum trying to contact you via online gaming.

So, to sum it up:

It's OK to game online with members, as long as your parents are OK with it.

It's OK to leave your friend code up

Chat off the forum at your own risk.

If someone starts harassing you, the easiest way to make it stop is to delete them from your friend list. Friends don't bully friends, so don't let bullies be your friends. Yeah, that covers this rule.
I don't expect all of you to play games rated under Everyone +10, but if you are going to talk about them here, then don't talk about the aspects of the game that make it rated higher then E+10. That means you can talk about the cool new sims house you built, but you can't talk about how your mommy sims got pregnant.
Spoilers aren't just for books and TV series, but also for games. This is very important to remember when talking about JRPGs (Japanese role-playing games, like Final Fantasy, Fire Emblem, Pokemon), or even just RPGs (roleplay games, like Portal, Zelda, or any other games with a storyline to be spoiled) in general. Please be careful of this.
If you didn't like a game, be nice about saying so. People like different things for different resions, respect the veiws of others.
Have fun, but that's a given-in.
