Rogue Burners General Information
What is RogueBurners.com?
RogueBurners.com is a social video game website centered around console gaming. We have heavy roots in the Burnout video game series by Criterion Games. Especially in the game Burnout Paradise. Rogue Burners was formed in June 2009 after the continued deterioration (in both member-generated content and in severe virus/malware exploits) of a popular Burnout fansite. Approximately 10 members donated money to cover start-up and software costs and we were supported by the immediate support of approximately 40 members defecting from the aforementioned fansite.
Rogue Burners is dedicated to bringing you the best in video game news and information, social commentary and witty banter.
Rogue Burners Site Rules
Rules? Rogues have rules?
Indeed we do. While we are a relaxed environment, we must have certain guidelines in place to unsure we continue to stay that way. Please observe the following Site Rules:
Accounts
You are responsible for the content posted using your account on the Rogue Burners forums. Please do not allow other people to use your account. Punishment leniency for rule violations made when "your little brother broke into your room" will not be taken into consideration. Your account is your responsibility. Do not create additional accounts if you have forgotten your password. Instead use the "I've forgotten my password" link at the sign-in screen. Accounts created for sole purpose of avoiding suspension will be banned and the suspension for the violating member's main account will be extended.
Post Quality
Rogues are surprisingly a literate bunch. We do not take kindly to posts written in txt/IM/chat/h4xr/welsh language. If you cannot take the extra time to properly type out what you're trying to communicate, why should we take the time to lower our brain functions to interpret your post? Please try to use correct spelling and proper punctuation as best you can. We do understand that English is not the first language of some of our members, and of course there will be exceptions to how much this rule is enforced in certain situations. Please do not post in all capital letters and do not use excessive punctuation (!!!!!!!!!!!). Do not double post to add information to a post you've just submitted, instead edit the post. Do not double post to reply to different members in the same thread, please use the
function instead.
Warez/Piracy
We are not here to judge you, but the Rogue Burners forums are not the place to discuss things such as illegal torrents, serial number/keygens/cracks, links to copyrighted audio/video files, etc.
Spam
Spam is nonsense. Rogues have a special place in their hearts for the nonsensical... and a special place in their forums as well. That place is our Rogue Spammer section. You may spam until your fingers bleed. Any content that is prohibited (such as adult content, piracy (except for the patch & parrot kind), discrimination, flaming, console/system/os wars, referral links, etc) is still prohibited in Rogue Spammer. Outside of the Rogue Spammer forum, creating threads that are off topic or posts with no relation to the current thread will not be tolerated. Threads created for the sole purpose of annoying other users or increasing a member’s post count will also be considered spamming.
Discrimination
Rogues discriminate against those of lower intelligence, but we never discriminate against gender, sexual preference, religion or nation of origin. The use of derogatory terms which violate the rules against discrimination will not be tolerated.
Adult Content
Explicit content such as death photos, vulgar and disturbing images, nude images or links to pornographic websites is forbidden. Most of the contributing members of Rogue Burners are adults, but the content posted should be suitable for those members as young as 13. Excessive swearing is not encouraged and your post will be edited for content if the moderators or administrators of this site feel that any language you've used has crossed a moral line. Threads that do not necessarily violate the Adult Content Guidelines, but may be considered "risque", should be clearly marked in the thread title with NSFW (not safe for work).
Forum Etiquette
Flaming is prohibited at Rogue Burners. We will not tolerate hostile behavior towards another member. Please do not attempt to intervene if you witness a flame war in progress or if you are being targeted personally. Instead, please be the bigger individual and use the
button and a moderator or administrator will take care of the situation. We look to our community to lead by example. If you are a veteran member here, please act like one. Use this opportunity to teach and guide newer members instead of attacking them. Answering someone's question by telling them to use the search function isn't very helpful, and if the person isn't familiar with the forum software, not very useful. If you know the answer, please share it. Also be aware that there is always new information coming out and sometimes things may get repeated once in a while.
Advertising
Please do not create topics advertising your website. We have created a thread called Website Advertising Thread for our members to share their personal websites. Advertising your website in your signature is also allowed. The advertisement of websites which contain content that violate any of the forum rules is not allowed.
Hotlinking
Please be advised that hotlinking images can result in an image being posted that you had not intended. For instance, if someone hotlinks a picture from Rogue Burners on another site, this image will be displayed instead. It is recommended that you either host the image yourself (photobucket, flickr, etc.) or save the file to your hard drive and use the upload utility in the forums.
Display Name / PSN / XBL Impersonation and Abuse
Pretending to be someone you're not by abusing the "Display Name" feature or by entering false "PSN" & "XBL" ID field information will not be tolerated. Harassment by changing your "Display Name" to a derogatory version of another person's "Display Name" or persona will not be tolerated. Console bashing will not be tolerated in any of the display name, PSN, XBL or any other field.
Etc...
If there are any questions about these rules, or if you're not sure if something is against the rules, please contact anyone on our Moderating Team
