Rules

The administration of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. MOD portal doesn't bear responsibility for the damage done to anyone by the information, published by the registered member(-s). The whole responsibility is undertaken by the member(-s) who published such information. The administration is ready to make all efforts to prevent such possible damage.

To keep this resource clean and tidy, there are moderators, who have a right to:

  • Delete ads.
  • Delete flooding (excessively high number of messages).
  • Delete/close irrelevant articles.
  • Delete/close threads, which contain the attempts to sort out relationship with the developers or other project members in a discourteous manner.
  • Delete TEXT IN CAPITAL LETTERS, illiterate texts, and texts that contain insults, foul language and abound with network slang.
  • Delete messages full with smiling icons.
  • Delete/close articles, which are duplicated the existing ones.
  • Delete MODs and articles, published with the violation of the copyrights.

Any commercial advertisement from a natural person or a legal entity will be deleted without informing the author.

Messages that are not directly connected with the topic discussed, that do not contain useful information, do not show the reasonable opinion of a member, that contain private questions addressed to a small group of members, and being interesting to them only, will be deleted at moderator's own discretion without informing the author. The limited private messages along with resolving the main question are allowed.

Messages/articles that touch upon the questions of cracking the games' protection, and violating the copyrights will be deleted without informing the author at moderator's or administrator's own discretion.

Messages/articles that are insulting the other members of the project, administrator, moderators or other authors of the portal will be deleted without informing the author at moderator's or administrator's own discretion.

Messages/articles that contain the foul language will be deleted without informing the author at moderator's or administrator's own discretion.

Articles duplicating the previously created ones may be deleted at moderator's or administrator's own discretion without informing the author. In order to avoid misunderstandings, it's strongly recommended to use Search before starting a new topic!

The disputes about what can be considered flooding and what cannot; discussing articles that have been closed by the moderator or administrator; creating new articles similar to the closed ones; discussing the actions of moderators and administrator are unacceptable.

The administrator has a right to block the access for the members, who systematically break the above-listed rules. In case of the absence of the possibility for selective blocking of certain persons, the administrator can block the access for the sub-network or even the entire zone, the violator works in.

In the case of gross violations, the administrator has a right to apply to violator's Internet-provider, and take measures towards the violator via the provider.

Respect other members, even if their point of view completely differs from yours.

If someone is rude towards you, don't act likewise! Remember that your offensive response can also become the reason for punitive measures aimed against you by the portal's administration.

ATTENTION! In case GSC Game World implements any idea or suggestion , expressed by the members of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. MOD portal in its software products, the company GSC Game World is not obliged to pay any royalties or other fees to the authors of such ideas, unless the company considers otherwise, and the author will be informed of such decision by any means of communication available.
