Non-English people, as well as English people, must be able to understand what you write, so put a minimum of care in your English, even if your English is not very good.

*Behavior on the Forum*
-
Defamatory, racist, hateful, pornographic, illegal, personal attacks and demeaning content: You must respect the fact that people may have a different opinion than you. If you are in conflict with another member, please use PMs for that, this board is not an arena!
-
Please, be patient: It's useless to up your topic every 2 minutes (see the point "Flood and Off-topic"). Every member of this forum has a private life besides Inside the Game (ISTG), so they can't always respond immediately.

Disruption: Posts intended to cause disruption of the forum or cause disruption to the forum are against the rules.
