Welcome to TeamWarfare! The administrative and senior staff works hard to provide you with the best competitive atmosphere we can. There are a few guidelines and processes that should be followed that will make our lives - and yours - as easy as possible!
Please post all general topic threads in the General Forums. This is the TeamWarfare Counter-Strike:Source Ladder forum, so please, let's keep it that way. Please heed admin warnings or suggestions, and nobody gets hurt.
BAN GUIDLINES
Ignoring admin warnings or testing patience/boundaries
Racism
Excessive flaming (heated discussion can be cool, personal attacks are not)
Excessive off topic posting
Troublemaking. Starting problems for the sake of stirring up waves will get you removed.
Porn/Nudity, we can tolerate links, provided there is a warning, but blatant pr0n is unacceptable
Abuse to staff will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Admins are volunteers. They didn't volunteer to take your abuse.
Flaming a group that plays another mod isn't really a good idea.
Advertising other sites will result in deletions, locks, and bans.
Using our forum to promote server rentals will earn a lock, deletion and ban (not necessarily in that order).
Posting links to cheats and cheat websites.
LOCKABLE/DELETING GUIDLINES
Off topic posts.
Flaming and usless insults, get excessive and get banned.
Cheat accusations. Email your admins.
SIG REMOVAL GUIDLINES
Your signature needs to follow the guidelines posted in the General Forum. The sticky "SIGNATURE GUIDELINES" thread lists all sig criteria. We have people that are on 56k (yes, it's true!). Some viewers (including almost all staff) visit this site at work as well.
Overview of Signature Guidelines
These guidelines must be followed. Edits will ensue if they are not. If we need to repeatedly edit your sig we'll be forced to take other action.
Again, to see the full set of guidelines, go to the Signature Guidelines thread.
No nudity whatsoever, obvious, implied or otherwise. Bathing suits are fine, skimpy bikinis are not. Violating this is an instant ban.
Sig width no more than 500 pixels, height no more than 150 pixels. This is more than enough room for your creativity.
Sigs must be under 60kb. There is no reason for a jpg that is 500x150 to be over 60kb.
No embedded sounds in sigs, not even on mouseovers.
Symbols or insignia of fallen oppresive/murderous regimes or terror organizations will result in the sig's removal.
Sigs that cause extremely slow page loads due to slow hosts will be immediately removed and a warning will be placed in your sig area advising you this. Putting it back and causing the pages to load slow again will be an immediate ban. Please respect the others that visit this site.
Abuse of your HTML privelages (example: causing java popups when opening a thread) will result in an immediate ban. Length to be determined by Senior Operations Staff.
Usage of deragatory terms and profanity in sig images is highly discouraged, and frowned upon by staff.
Creating "Free" banned member sigs.
Testing the boundaries will probably get you banned as well. We may add to this list.
Below is a sample of the maximum size allowed.
