Black Ops - Rules & Index

What kinds of threads do not belong here?

• 1. Advertising threads

These are not welcome here because they can lead to dangerous sites which force you to download something (spyware, malware, trojan etc), or give personal details to emails, this is why they aren't allowed among other reasons. You do however have your personal signature to advertise features which are not forum related, it is also a policy that the Neoseeker rules enforce.

• 2. Hacking/Boosting/Glitch Abusal threads

When the game is released it is likely that there will be glitches and people attempting to boost/hack, and discussion on how to do Glitch X, which does not need to be promoted. Boosting is also heavily frowned upon by the majority of the Call of Duty community, which is why threads on how to do so, and organizing Boosting lobbies/asking for a Boosting partner are not allowed. The same applies to threads about hacking/glitches, how to do it, prestige hacks etc.

• 3. Game/Competition Threads (E.g. Hurt & Heal)

Game threads can be difficult to control, because of this you will need to ask for a Moderator's permission to create a game thread. If you have any ideas for a Game thread, you can either post your idea in the Request, Feedback and Suggestions thread or Privately Message one of the moderators directly.

• 4. Video Threads (Montages, Gameplays etc)

These aren't allowed as they often lead to flaming and spamming, but also because some people post the video as an advert for their youtube channel. Videos themselves however will be allowed in the Videos thread.

• 5. Picture threads

Picture threads are allowed if they allow people to discuss, the first post cannot just be a picture, it would also need to have a point made about it, which others can discuss.

• 6. Rant/Brag Threads

The Brag thread can be found here. Where as The Moan thread can be found here. Please use these threads.

• 7. Inappropriate & Pornographic Content

Yes, Call of Duty: Black Ops is an 18/Mature game but this doesn't mean younger audiences do not visit the forum. A simple search, by a younger member, on Google can lead to this very forum and we don't want children to ask their parents "what's that long thing". Any content like this should be removed from view and the Moderator(s) of the forum wil swiftly take action by removing the content and punishing the member.

• 8. Short & Appropriate Thread Titles

Please do not make thread titles in capital letters, that are stupidly long, or thread titles that ask half a question. 'How can I...' is not an acceptable thread title and it will be changed. Thread titles are not used to lure people in; people will view your thread if they want to view your thread. Posting in capital letters makes the forum look bad and unprofessional.

• 1. "Fail!" "Epic fail!"

Posting just to mark something as "fail" or "epic fail" is spam. It adds nothing useful to the thread.

• 2. Direct, unchanged quotes

If you are going to quote someone, you need to add your own message as well. Quoting someone else and posting their reply doesn't add anything new to the thread. Even if your opinion is the same, there's still something you can add to it or change it. This includes messages that include "QFT" and "[/thread]".

• 3. Picture replies

Posting a picture as a reply is spam. It adds nothing useful or new to the thread, and it's generally annoying to see the same pictures posted everywhere

• 4. Flaming/Attacking a member

Direct, blatant flaming or attacking of a member is strictly forbidden. Any member found doing so should be reported and later dealt with by a moderator.

• 5. Memberating

You're not the moderator, therefore you shouldn't act like one. Saying "this thread will be close" will not be tolerated, you can however direct them to an appropriate thread, politely.
