Guidelines in Gaming & Leisure forum

All the normal guidelines that apply on Ubuntuforums still apply in the Gaming & Leisure forum which can be found here - click me

:arrow: NOTE!!! Do not ask, promote, advitise, hint, link or suggest crack and piracy!!!! It's banning reason to do so!


Wine and Windows related games on linux or related to wine in any kind, please post them in our wine forum.
If not they will be deleted or closed.



Guidelines for Responding


:arrow: Comments like 'STFU' or 'RTFM' or "Google it up" are NOT acceptable.

:arrow: Be as descriptive as possible. It helps to have error outputs posted. Describe the problem as exactly as possible.

:arrow: Try to keep Hardware stuff in Hardware. Glxgears and performance issues would be related to this, specially if your posting it in regards to a newely installed driver. This kind of organization will help us to get you the fastest possible result in a solution.




General Guidelines for Threads


:arrow: Do not moderate each other -- Moderators are experienced professionals at handling these situations. Choice of wording and tone are crucial to effective moderation without leaving anyone hurt or discouraged. You can help with moderation by using the 'Report Post' button to alert moderators to the situation.

:arrow: Try to keep on the same topic -- It gets very confusing to follow a thread with many simultaneous discussions. If you have a question that's not related to what the original author's, start a new thread. Link to the old one for reference if necessary.

:arrow: Do not cross-post -- In other words, if you start a thread about a problem here, don't ask the same thing in another section to attempt to get a faster response. It doesn't work.

:arrow: Quote when appropriate -- If you're responding to a specific post, please quote it before replying (use the Quote button). Mis-directed comments often spark trouble.
