Posting Throughout MyDS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone may post, but please remember there are reasons for posting:

• To reply to the previous post.
• To have your own input to the topic (thread) at hand

Basically that's it, you can post to reply to somebodies topic / post, or to reply and have your input to the "Topic" at hand. Anything else is considered spam.
Spam is annoying and it clutters up the threads making them all over the place and hard to follow.

Spam/Flaming
• "Lol"
• "Hahaha"
• "Harrasment"
• "Abuse"
• "Racism"
• "A reply or post that has NOTHING to do with the thread"
• "WTF"
• "Slander"
• "Linking pages of no interest to the topic"
• "Intolerance"
• "Religious bashings"

The list goes on and on, but please use your brains, spamming and flaming will not be tolerated here.

Creating and Placing a Thread
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have a question or a problem there is a fairly good chance someone else on the site has had the same issue or asked the same question.

Simply use the Search Bar up the top right hand side of the site, and click "Go" once you have typed in the phrase you're searching for.

When starting a thread, think carefully to what thread starts into what category. For instance:

General
Anything that doesn't really fit into a certain category but still has something to do with MyDS or the DS itself or anything related to it.

Hardware
The DS, or attachments to it that are hardware, in here talk about any hardware related to the DS, or closely related to the DS.

Software
Games, or other things like the DS MP3.

Pokemon
Just talk about pokemon and anything related to it.

Nintendo Wi-Fi
Anything to do with Nintendo Wi-Fi, games, and problems you face with it.

Game Boy Advance
Any talk about the GBA

Clan - Down Under DS
The Clan threads for Down Under DS.

Clan - |KinG|
The Clan threads for |KinG|.

Buy/Sell/Trade
Anything you want to Buy/Sell/trade. Try to use the following codes to make it easier to read:
• WTS - Willing To Sell
• WTB - Willing To Buy
• WTT - Willing to Trade

Social
The Social catagory is here for people to discuss things that are "Off topic" from the point of the forums; Nintendo Wii. Please refrain from such threads and topics that are "Souly" about "Yourself" ie; "Hey I got this" "Hey what should I do" "Hey, What's going on" etc. Try also to keep the threads tastefull, where people can have a good input, ie; "Favourite type of music" "Favourite all time games" etc.

MyDS.com.au
Anything regarding the website as a whole. There will be site updates in here, really just anything that relates to MyDS and and it's sites information etc.

Also, Please do not:

• Use Capitals for Thread Titles
• Include The Thread Question in the Title
• Include offensive words in the title

Homebrew
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
General discussion about Homebrew is allowed, specifically Flash cartridges and their capabilities, places to buy Flash cartridges, and places to download Homebrew applications. You may link to these sites.

You may discuss commercial game ROMs, or 'back-ups', but you may not discuss where to download them. Commercial games are not Homebrew. You may not ask anyone on the forums how to obtain ROMs. You may not link to sites that contain downloads or links to downloads of ROMs, even if those sites are Homebrew sites. You may not direct people to torrents. You may not indicate on which page of a search a good ROM site is.

If you break these rules we will:

• Delete your response and any response related to it, or delete the thread depending on severity and original topic, and
• Ban you for 24 hours.

If you repeatedly break these rules we will:

• Delete your response and any response related to it, or delete the thread depending on severity and original topic, and
• Ban you permanently.

You may not appeal the ban. Piracy will not be supported or forgiven here on MyDS.

Banning and Warning
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warnings
Admins patrol the site and if they see you breaching the Rules listed throughout this guide, and they think you have conflicted with them to a certain point. They will notify that you have an Admin Warning in your Inbox. Admin Warnings are simply a way of notifying you that Admins are aware of your behaviour on the site and that if it continues they may ban you or if it is minor send you a final Admin Warning, meaning it is the last chance.

Banning
Banning a member is when they have breached the Rules of this website too much. You would normally have been warned beforehand, unless what you ave done was considerably wrong. After you have been banned, an Admin will e-mail you on the e-mail you provided when signing up to the site. This will tell you how long you are banned for whether it be 24 hours or a week or forever.

IP Banning
If you are banned, and make another account before your ban time is up, Admins can track it. And when this happens, will organise you to be IP Banned, meaning that you cannot make another account from that modems IP again. This is as far as banning someone on MyDS.com.au goes.

Admin Notice - Pokemon Threads
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok there's been some complaints about the excessive amount of Pokemon threads that have been appearing. We are aware that Pokemon is one of the most popular games available for the DS and we are not stopping you from talking about it, we just want to consolidate some of it.
If possible please use the threads that have been provided.

If you have any questions that you want answered regarding Pokemon games then use the Pokemon FAQ and general talk Thread www.myds.com.au/
If your interested in trades and friend code exchange then use the Pokemon Trades and Friend Codes Thread www.myds.com.au/
Just follow the instructions stated in the first post and have a look at all the other posts to see if there is anything that interests you.

Please don't make one thread just to trade one Pokemon.
The threads mentioned are provided to make it easier for you and to keep the home page neater.

Multiple Acounts - By Single User
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Making multiple accounts by the same person is not allowed on this site, previous instances like someone making another account for fun, and even worse, to make another account in pure intention to flame or spam.

As Admins, we can trackwhat computer you sign into, in which account, and when, so if you ever think of trying to get past as, bad idea. Using multiple accounts on the same computer if it is someone else like a family member is alright, or a co-worker.

So in future please use the same account, and most importantly, do not make another account in the sole purpose of spamming/flaming/abusing.

Note: One account can get you into all of the MyMedia.net.au sites, no need to make another.

I believe in freedom of speech, that's why i made these sites, so people can talk and enjoy themselves amongst each other.

But by no way I am preventing people to talk about anything they are interested in, as long as they are not causing anyone else pain.

Quoted From MrDS

Signing up to these sites you agree to follow those rules.
