Depending on how serious we think the matter is we may report it to the relevant authorities.

This means it's also NOT allowed to accuse iHaxx Staff of abusing their powers or anything else. Also posting any images of people is NOT proof of them doing anything wrong as it could be an alteration. Even if you do have proof and know its 100% real, it is still not allowed to mention that the person has scammed/hacked etc as this starts arguments.

Do not post private messages, staff threads/posts or quote private conversations or comments made with the User Reputation system - It is not allowed to show Private Messages without the senders permission either in a Post or in another Private Message. Also it is not allowed to quote anybody from a private conversation or a thread/post not viewable by the public, for example in a Private Message or in a private forum, without the author's permission. This means it is also not allowed to show comments made by others using the User Reputation system, for example in your signature.

A5.

Do not post a message in which you tell another forum member they have broken the forum rules. Don't post a message in which you ask for another forum member to get banned or unbanned. If you think there has been a rule broken, click on the "Report Bad Post" icon at the top right of that post and explain the problem.

B4. Do not ignore a Forum Moderator's warning - It is important that you take any warning seriously that a Forum Moderator or Administrator sends you by Personal Message.

B5. Do NOT give pointless reputation - There are many reasons to give good reputation points. The post may have helped you, had been well written or be a very good reply. Giving rep points to others just because its a friend or negative reputation points just because you don't like somebody will not be tolerated.

B6. Do not post any advertisements for anything illegal or what would be considered inappropriate for anybody from 11 years old up wards - The forum is aimed at people aged 11 years old or over so we do not want anything to offend anybody in anyway. Adult adverts can be posted in the porn section.
