Here at Special Reserve there are a large group of people who respect this site, respect the management (that is Tony) and respect each other. Alot of your newbies do not know the rules and regulations of this site which us regular and notables have followed since our time here.

To make sure you understand these rules and regulations, and earn the respect you deserve:

Rule Number 1:
The future of gaming (prime topic) forum is not here for millions of aimless topics created recently by alot of you newbies, i'm not necessarily saying it's your fault but if you want to discuss pointless topics, do it in the Future of gaming (Chatter topics) forum, because it was created solely for this purpose.

Rule Number 2:
The people here at special reserve are a civilised group of people and do not tolerate bad/offensive language, and if this is used you may be kicked off the site by Tony.

Rule Number 3:
Well this is not actually a rule, but, here at special reserve we do not like to biased to any one console, it is not wrong if you do this, but be prepared for a lot of hassle.

Rule number 4:
Do not, and i repeat do not create pages after pages of useless spam, because the webmaster does not like this.

Enough with the rulesheres an FOG forums:

The Prime topics forum is here to posts valid gaming topics whether they are gameaday attempts or not

The Chatter topics forum is here for aimless talks or social events such as the sr football league.

Every now and again you may get a regular computer poking you, DO NOT take this offensively because this is the only way some Regulars keep themselve amused.

You may be wondering what the notables are, well they are a group of people who were elected in as the most respected of the site, and every three months a new one will be elected (the next is on June 7th)

If you have any question you should ask Tony or one of the notables (the best choice would be Grix Thraves or Meka_dragon)

At times one of the notables (Sniper) can reply quite harshly to your posts, just ignore him when he does this because he is pretty cranky towards newbies.

I think that that is all, but i'm sur if i've missed something out another regular or a notable will point it out.

thanx for reading

True, but some of the regulars could be a little more helpful towards newbies, a lot less rash and more friendly in general, simply cussing everything they do.

The rules are kind of unwritten, but well done for writing your own version, good Fish.

Not true, I for one, hold less respect for some of the notables than I do for other members here. They were elected for making the site what it is - Grix's insanity and brain talkings, FMs long really quite sublime stories and ideas, Meka_Dragon's unstoppable run of gameaday wins thanks to some brilliant reviews, Ant for being Ant and saying 'CLASSIQUE' all the time, and Sniper because of his one line posts that don't bear much significance.
