The Battlefield Forum charter

Spear

The current mods are @Spear and @ktulu123

Welcome to the Battlefield forum of Boards.ie. This forum is intended to provide information and for the general discussion on the EA/Dice Battlefield game series. Currently this board is being moderated by @Spear and @ktulu123. We are here to keep this place clean and sort out any problems you may have. However, here are a list of ground rules you should follow to keep this board great.

Most of these are the same as sitewide rules, but they are:

• Warez or other unauthorised access to copyrighted material
• The posting of information which can cause the illegal copying of games is not allowed. This includes serial keys, crack files or actual copied CDs or CD files.
• The discussion of VPNs for the primary purpose to gaining unauthorised access to content including game keys e.g. to bypass geo based rights restrictions, is forbidden.
• Stay On Topic
• This board is for the Battlefield game series and mods and posts should stay within this general theme. There are other forums for other games as well as a general Games forum, a list of which can be found here. Posts on threads in general should also be in keeping with the general topic of that thread.
• Respect the privacy of others
• Please do not post Private Messages to another user through the board. Boards.ie features a Private Messaging function which will allow you to send a private message to another user. You can access the Private Messaging pages here or by going into your User Profile settings.
• Its War, But Be Civil
• Try and be civil. Arguments are expected and so is a bit of slagging but there is a line and we don't want you to cross it. Flamewars and excessive spamming will not be tolerated. If you do cross the line you will be given a nice little warning by PM.
• If you have any problems with a post or thread you can use the "Report" link on the bottom of each post. This will notify the moderators of the Board of a post and/or user that you may find offensive. We will deal with the problem as quick as possible.
• Newbies
• First of all, if you are a newbie to Boards.ie take a quick look at the Newbies and FAQ forum for any question you may have, and welcome. For all other users, please refrain from any Newbie bashing. Nobody likes someone who picks on a Newbie and also remember you were one too.
• If you have just got a copy of Battlefield please take time to grab the latest Battlefield patches so you can play online. There will be a sticky in the main thread list to the latest patch. If you have just installed a fresh copy of Battlefield you will be required to install the Full update.
• Cheats And Exploits
• We do not want to see any Cheats or Exploits being posted or linked to on the site. Period. Any posting of cheats or exploits will result in either a strong warning or immediate ban. Nobody likes a cheater, play fun, play fair, play Battlefield
• Game Tonight?
• This has been causing a good bit of confusion on the board so I would like to point this out to everybody. If you are trying to get a good game going on a particular server please put in the date in the title thread. Threads with "tonight?" or "game this Friday?" as the title cause confusion over when the exact date is. Please also mention if the game will be Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, Desert Combat etc. to ensure people do know what they are going to be playing.
• Disputing a forum ban or infraction
• If you have received a forum ban or infraction and wish to dispute it, this can be do in the Dispute Resolution forum. Please ensure you read the rules for that process thoroughly before posting.
