GameTZ Rules   Game Trading Zone Rules You Are Responsible The Game Trading Zone is not responsible for any lost property resulting from bad trades or otherwise. All trades are conducted at your own risk. Trader'sOath The GameTZ Trader's Oath outlines key aspects of what it takes to be a trader here. You Must Obey Copyright Law (No Pirating) Dealing in copies of copyrighted material without the permission of the owner of the copyright is illegal and GameTZ will not tolerate anyone who does it here. Trades are for original media, no copies. You cannot buy, sell, trade, offer, request, list, give away, or otherwise indicate that you are willing to trade for pirated items of any kind. You also may not direct people to pirated versions of software to buy, trade, or download. Even if no one is making money off the pirated materials, it's against the rules to deal in them. If you are caught pirating or trying to pirate on the GameTZ, your account will be suspended immediately. If you see anyone else pirating, please report them immediately to . Trading "backups" and especially CD-Rs is considered pirating. This is regardless of how legal you may think this is. Pirating includes, but is not limited to, dealing in "warez", "abandonware", "backups", "CD-R's", "bootlegs", "burned" items, "ROMs", "HK Silvers", "Multi-carts" (including systems with potentially unlicensed games built in), counterfeit trading cards, stuff you taped off TV, "screeners", Mix CDs or tapes you make yourself, and Fan Subs--basically any copy that is not the original. Dealing in CD-Keys, PINs, subscription codes or cracks is also considered pirating. More information on Copyright No Pornography or Adult Material Pornography and Adult Material in any form is not allowed at gametz. Discussing porn in the chat-room, in the forums, on your user page, or entering a link to a site that deals with adult material is strictly forbidden. Be Honest Always be truthful about what you are trading here. This is especially important when trading. Be honest about the condition of your items. Only one account per person Creating or having more than one account is not allowed, and will result in the user being suspended from the site. If you're having trouble accessing your account, contact the . No Spamming Do not email or instant message gametz members about matters that do not directly involve goods they have listed in their available or wanted lists. Do not send the same email or instant message message to multiple people. Do not send chain letters. Spamming many users at once is highly discouraged. NOTE: If you have any questions about any of the rules, please read the FAQ before you contact the moderators. The FAQ contains many clarifications and a lot of information to help you enjoy the site. The Site Rules are subject to change without notice, though many of the changes will be noted in the Announcements forum. Therefore we suggest you read these pages every few months to make sure you are aware of any changes. Thank you for your cooperation. Diversity Statement The GameTZ Community is made up of people from all different backgrounds, sexes, races, religions and sexual preferences. We value this diversity and will not tolerate any language which specifically attacks a group or individual because of their background, sex, race, religion, or sexual preference. Using Forums, Bio Pages, and Chat GameTZ provides several methods for allowing members to communicate with each other. We gladly support exchange of ideas and thoughts amongst our members, and are happy to provide these tools. However, a few guidelines do apply: Be Civil Rude behavior will not be tolerated at GameTZ. Insults, personal attacks, and rudeness toward an individual or group are not acceptable behavior. If you receive repeated restrictions that indicate you are habitually disrespectful to other members, we will ban you from the site. Spamming or Flooding Posting multiple repetitious messages, both in Forums or in Chat, is not allowed and will result in your restriction from those areas. Posting chain letters or other kinds of spam will not be tolerated. Offensive Language or Images Using extreme language is not allowed. You may be restricted from using the site if you are guilty of using such language or posting offensive pictures or linking to sites that use such language or pictures. Trolling Using the forums or chat to intentionally initiate an argument to upset or inflame other traders is not allowed. Single-line Posts While fine in small doses, the site strongly encourages members to post meaningful responses to forum posts. Repeated posting of single-line posts may result in a restriction. Do not "bump" threads that are less than 24 hours since the last post. Off-topic Posts Topics that are posted in the wrong forum may be moved to the correct one. Intentionally posting in a topic to disrupt the conversation is seriously frowned upon, and your post may be deleted, or you may be restricted from posting in the forums.
