Guidelines for preparing a post

1. Short quotes

   Please mind, if you quote texts longer than 10 lines, then shorten the quote to the respective paragraphs. If you have deleted something from the text, you can write e.g. [...]. Thus, you do not have to scroll long posts by the pageful, in order to find a comment such as "That's also my view" See [url="http://www.ps3spot.de/faq/29197-tutorial-gut-zitiert-ist-halb-gewonnen.html"][Tutorial] Gut Zitiert ist halb gewonnen[/url] fuer eine Einfuehrung ins effketive Zitieren

2. Informative titles

   If you prepare a topic, you should tell in the title in a short way what it is about. Instead of writing "Heeeeelp", "Help for trophy - I am a trophy- in - name of the game-" would be better. Thus, users can see immediateley, whether they can help and you normally receive a quicker reply.

3. No quote for a report

   If you report a thread to us, which consists of e.g. spam or lacks sense, do us the favor and do not prepare another quote of this thread, as we would have to edit later on your post, if it contains something meaningful,in order to delete the reported thread there.

4. You-informal instead of You-formal

   As we are here not within a company meeting, it is not neccessary to use the formal address, according to my view. If someone feels the need to be addressed formally, I aks the person concerned to note this within the signature.

Markteplace rules

1. Not allowed offers

   • Offers with USK/FSK18- titles (games, DVD, BluRay)
   • Offers exhibiting paraphrased USK18-titles (e.g. Snake 4, Ca** of Du** etc. )
   • Offers with with the information PM-game or the information: "Further games on demand"
   • Offers consisting of ref-links for snowball systemes or further dubious offers
   • Offers including a linkung to other sites (e.g. Ebay etc.)
   • Offers comprising games, which are offered via the signature
   • Offers where an USK / FSK 18 title is edited into after the issue(this immediately leads to a warning or blocking)
   • A wrong rating on purpose for transactions
   • Pushing (to rate transactions that have not taken place yet...)
   • Account sale We have deciced that account sale is not longer allowed in this forum. This is valid for sale of all kinds.
     • PSN Acccounts
     • WoW and other game accounts (which is forbidden by the developer anyway)
     This is due to several reasons, as we can not estimate in how far this is legally serious on the part of Sony. On the other hand, the fraud potential for selling PSN-accounts is very high because with the seller's e-mail-address the password could be quickly changed anytime, as far as this e-mail-address was not sold, too. In order to stem the fraud potential, hereby no offers with account offers or demands are allowed in this forum and thus, they are also not issued. I ask for your sympathy.
   • Trading with promotional versions (before the official release.) Promotional versions to games, that have not been officially released yet, are not allowed to be either offered nor asked for, as a transfer for this versions is not allowed. However, we have decided to rate them after the release as collector's items. Then these versions are also allowed to be traded regularly.
   • Selling / Exchanging BETA-codes Offers comprising BETA-codes for selling or exchanging will not be issued. This is due to the reason that these codes are distributed in a limited number, but they are for free anyway. The attempt to try to make money out of that is not tolerated here anymore. You are free to raffle these codes in the forum, but please use the appropriate thread in the "Games" or "News" area of the games titles for that.

   1. Offers with USK/FSK18- titles (games, DVD, BluRay)

   2. Offers paraphrasing USK18-titles (e.g.: Snake 4, Ca** of Du** etc. )

   3. Offers where an USK / FSK 18 title is edited into after the issue

      An infringement immediately leads to a warning or blocking

   4. Offers without the German USK label

      Offers without the German USK label are marked as USK 18 by German Law and may not be offered.

   5. Offers with with the information PM-game or the information: "Further games on demand"

   6. Offers consisting of ref-links for snowball systemes or further dubious offers

   7. Offers including a linkung to other sites (e.g. Ebay etc.)

      "I have seen that here and there cheaper"
      If there are ambiguities concerning the price negotiation, please resolve these via PM.

   2. Just post if you are interested

      Please do only reply to offers if you are interested in the good and leave other users alone to do their trades.

3. Reminders, warnings and a blocking of the account

   1. Sanctions

      In singular cases we reserve the right to decide further ways to progress, if these marketplace rules are violated.
      We have affixed the guidelines to firstly inform the users why their offers could not be issued. However, if the offers should be repeated nevertheless and the reason of the seller can not be conceived, we have to pronounce an official warning. The next step would be a final unlimited blocking of the forum-account.

   2. Subsequent editing of an offer

      If an offer is edited after the issue and displaying a title for 18-year-olds, this will immediately lead to a deletion of the offer as well as to a warning or blocking of the account!!!

   3. Spam-posts

      Furthermore we will decide upon singular cases about the ways to progress, if abuses or senseless spam-posts occur within the offer-threads. Also here, in extreme case an official warning or blocking of the account can take place.

   4. Supporting the community

      If you detect a flimsy offer, if an user offers hidden USK18 titles or generally misbehaves, then I ask you to please report this via PM to one of the moderators or use the report-button.
      We appreciate every support!

Further terms

1. General aspects to the content

   1. Be fair!

      Please do never forget that a human being is sitting at the other end. A non-verbal communication is rather difficult and ambiguities seem to be almost bound to occur. Make you point of view clear and express yourself comprehensibly. By applying a conclusive line of argumentation, many ambiguities can be prevented right from the start. Mind the legal regulations. Be careful when quoting copyrighted works. To publish an e-mail is - besides possible legal consequences - not polite and should not be done without the author's explicit agreement. Posts bearing an undertone drifting to the negative side, consisting of abusive or illegal contents, are deleted or blocked if detected. This is especially valid for requests concerning illegal actions, e.g. transfering stolen copies, violating copyrights, breaking into data banks etc.

   2. Do not impose your opinion

      It does not make sense to argue about opinions. Discussing yes, arguing no. Everyone has his/her view on things. Posts like "You are nuts, it is like this and that" or "My truth is the real, absolutely truth" etc. are not wished for and do only lead to arguments. However, if you write "Well, I see it like this" or " I consider this like so and so", this is totally okay

2. Singular cases not covered by these rules

   In singular cases, which are not covered by the present rules here, the person running this forum decides on the basis of the present facts.
