The Forum Rules & Regulations are guidelines to forum members on expected conduct and behavior when using the Space Marine forums and website. We believe that adherence to these guidelines will help to foster a constructive and friendly atmosphere as the best place to interact with Relic, THQ and its community. As we are not able to foresee every set of circumstances there will be areas that will be handled on an individual basis by the forum staff.
Do:
• Be respectful of all other forum members including forum staff.
• Follow all directions given to you by a moderator or administrator of the forums.
• If you have an issue with a moderator or administrator discuss it via personal message, not publically on the forums.
• Post in English only. We are only able to offer English language forums at this time. Posts in other languages may be deleted.
• Post in the appropriate forum. Threads put in the wrong forum will be moved, locked or deleted.
• Make sure your thread’s title reflects what is in the thread. Threads with inaccurate titles to draw in readers will be locked or deleted.
• Use one account on the forums. Additional accounts will be banned.
• Use avatars and signatures that help enhance your board’s profile. Do not have avatars signatures that stretch the board, or are animated.
• Post to further discussion. Posts such as “+1”, “in before lock” or “bump” are considered spam and may be deleted.
• Use the “Report” feature to report offensive posts.
• Wait for others to reply before posting again and edit your post if you have additional information to share. Double posting is not allowed whether it’s to raise an additional point or to “bump” a thread active.
• Stay on topic. The original poster created the thread to talk about a particular issue, keep on that issue.
• Use an image hosting service when adding images to your posts. Please don’t “hotlink” images from other websites.
Do not:
Further Advice:
• Using the words Relic, THQ or any Developer or Community Team member’s name in a thread topic is advised against. We are not more likely to read a thread because you’ve addressed it to us.
• Petition posts are frowned on. If you have an issue with the game, please discuss it in a civil and informed fashion.

Do not:
• Spam the forums. Multiple threads on the same topic, or posts that add nothing to a conversation, or are simply meant to build post count are considered spam.
• Flame others. Disagreeing with people is one thing, but personal attacks and insults are not welcome. This includes other forum members, Relic or THQ staff or even people whom are not connected to the game or the community.
• Upload or attempt to distribute files that contain viruses, corrupted data, or malicious software.
• Upload or attempt to distribute files that contain viruses, corrupted data, or malicious software.
• Post in a deliberately annoying manner. This includes the abuse of colour and size tags, smilies and the use of internet forum pictures specifically designed for posting in threads. This includes pictures of kittens, face palms, ponies or the troll face.
• Impersonate another person including celebrities, other forum members or THQ or Relic staff.
• Troll. Trolling is defined as posts or threads that purposefully lead to overly strong, negative and emotional responses for shock value or to start an argument.
• Create alternate accounts to get around a suspension or ban. Additional accounts will be banned. If you are using an alternate account to post when suspended your suspension will be increased or changed into a ban.
• Post about locked or deleted threads, or moderator actions.
• Post about warez, hacking, torrenting, copying or pirating. Anyone posting on software or media piracy, including movies, music, games, books or other media, will be banned from the forums.
• Repost entire articles, news stories or features from websites. Quoting portions and linking to articles is fine, but copy and pasting an entire article is not.
• Link to offensive material, or material that is contrary to our other Rules and Regulations.
• Use racist, sexist, homophobic or otherwise prejudiced language.
• Swear. The swear filter is there for a reason, do not bypass it.
