The OverClocked ReMix Forums enable discussion and collaboration on a variety of topics. Information on using our forum software, vBulletin, is available in our Forum FAQ.

This document is considered global for the entire site; certain forums may have additional rules or exceptions not listed in this document that are posted as sticky threads where appropriate. Respect of forum moderators and site resources while using our forums is required at all times.

Account Names

When making your account name, take the time to think about what you want to be known as. We will seldom change your name later if you request it, so pick your name wisely.

Account Name Limitations/Restrictions:

  • 25 Characters or less
  • No swearing
  • No Racism/Racist Remarks
  • Avoid mimicking another user's name

Signatures

Keep signatures small, and do not include any swearing or slanderous remarks. Do not reference or link to the following: piracy/warez files or sites, nude or pornographic images, referral scam links, malware/spyware, or any illegal content.

Signatures Limitations/Restrictions:

  • Max 4 lines of text
  • Max 2 images
  • No inappropriate content (see above)

Posting Policy

Before posting a new thread, be sure to review threads in the forum you are browsing to see if the topic has already been raised. Likewise, before replying to a thread, review that thread to see if your question or point has already been raised. Nobody likes answering the same question a hundred times, and duplicate threads will be merged with existing threads or removed.

In general, don't be an idiot, and don't be a jerk. These sound like fairly basic requirements, but unfortunately more detail is often required as to what those terms mean.

Posting Limitations/Restrictions:

  • No off-topic posting; pick the appropriate forum
  • No spamming/flooding
  • No trolling/flaming; debates can and will occur, but keep them on-topic and avoid personal insults
  • No illegal material, including but not limited to warez, music, and child pornography
