1. Don't be a Jackass!
The GU Forums are known for their air of relative maturity. These forums feel that way because as a community we don't tolerate jackasses. So what constitutes being a jackass?
Flaming, making deragatory comments regarding race, religion, creed, gender, sexual preference or disability, post NSFW images, being negative without bothering to be constructive, derailing threads, talking about illegal crap, being excessively violent, threatening people, etc.
We want you to have fun here. But doing that at someone else's expense is not cool. So if someone is being a jackass, there's a link at the bottom left of each post (Report this Post). Just click that link and tell us what's going on or email us.
So what happens to jackasses?
For the most part we just moderate out the jackassery. If it's worth noting we'll send on a PM. If it's excessive we'll send on a warning. If we have to warn someone about being a jackass several times, we move them to "Moderated User" status. When someone is a "Moderated User" their posts can't be seen by GU Forum readers until myself or one of the moderators have read it and approved it. It's exceedingly rare that someone is actually banned.
Additional posts in this thread will tell you some ways to avoid jackassery.

Note: We're often too busy to tell each person that breaks the rule that they're being a jackass. If you have an issue with how something was handled PM or email me rather than derailing a thread with it.
