Happy New year Everyone!

We didn't have an easy to find page for the Forum Rules after we switched to the new site layout. Here they are!

https://toucharcade.com/community/pages/terms/

If you ever have any questions about the rules please contact us.

Rules/Terms
Post content:

• Don't post multiple threads on the same topic or app.

• Don't post in the WRONG forum (eg: "iPhone games" is for released games only).

• Use a descriptive title (not: "Help") and avoid adding temporary labels which will need to be renamed again in the near future, like "out now".

• Don't post referral links to other sites (eg: to earn free apps).

• Developers are welcome to post app announcements, but please identify yourself as the developer.

• Keep threads on topic - obviously, things can stray onto related topics, but we've seen threads stray into personal and irrelevant topics.

• Don't bump threads. This applies not only to posts that say "bump" but to those with the intent to bump.

• Please post in English. Despite our international audience, this is an English language site.

• Threads for swapping in-game items are okay.

• Don't copy/paste entire articles from other sites. Please always link to the original source.

Self Promotion:

• Don't post advertisements for websites/blogs/podcasts/youtube-channels/Facebook/etc on the site (Signature links are acceptable within reason). Self-promotion is strictly prohibited.

• No selling. Don't promote or arrange monetary transactions via this site, as things can get messy when real money is involved. eg: No selling source code.

• Don't promote or spam any pledge-funding links eg: Kickstarter or Indie Go-go. You may include a subtle link to Kickstarter in your "upcoming" thread and signature.

Promo codes:

• Only developers may post promo code giveaways for their games.

• Don't beg/ask for promo codes, beta testing or gifted apps unless invited by the developer.

Ethics and behaviour:

• Don't insult people - if you can't keep yourself from insulting others, you don't belong here.

• Don't sass the moderators and/or TouchArcade staff.

• Please avoid correcting spelling and grammar. English is not the native language for many people, and grammar discussion does not really add anything of substance to most discussions.

• Don't post fake announcements or impersonate individuals or companies.

• Fake / shill accounts will result in a site-wide ban of the site, product or developer. Don't do this, it just makes your game look bad.

• No piracy. Discussion about piracy in the abstract is acceptable. But links or how-to's or where to get pirated software/ROMs will quickly result in banning.

• Please keep language PG-13.

• Don't use multiple accounts to vote in polls, enter in contests, or otherwise disrupt the forums or promotions taking place on the forums.

• Use of proxies (VPNs) is prohibited.

Other:

• Don't encourage ad blocking and referral stripping. The site exists due to ads.

• Don't encourage conspiracy theories regarding paid reviews, under-handed deals, and similar things. If you have questions, check out our advertising and editorial policies.
