We now have a list of Forum rules to accompany the game ones. Please post below any comments on the rules or suggest changes. I will remove comments that i have read/dont help. So posts may disappear quickly.
------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two types of rules here. The first being a copy of the Terms and Conditions you signed upon registering. The second is a list of rules you should remember to stick by for future reference.
Terms of Forum Use.
------------------------------------------------------------------
These secondary rules are just as important and are designed to strike a balance between providing support and keeping a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for our community. These may change but when they do I will post telling you they have - each time I will highlight what I have edited. It is your duty to read them. Continued use of the forum after it's posted is noted as agreement to them.
Any Breech of forum rules can lead to a warning or other types of sanctions on the forum and also in game for serious offences. If you are unsure about something please ask a forum Mod.
The forum language is English, no other language is to be used anywhere on the forum except in the Translation section where you may post in the language that you are offering to translate the game into. Section 1 – Serious Offences The following things are not tolerated and will be removed on sight;
Multiple forum accounts (‘Alts’).
Posts for banned users- they were banned for a reason.
Impersonating another player, for example by using their in-game names or avatars, or impersonating a mod or admin.
Pornography, Politics, and Illegal contents, including links to such.
Profanities, insults, or repeated harassments.
Personal informations about the other users. Section 2 – Minor Offences The following things should be avoided, and may be removed;
Posthunting (generating many posts to increase your post count, use edit instead)
Bumping (the practice of putting a new post in threads to keep them in ‘New content’)
Spoilers (note that hints and tips are allowed, but use the ‘spoiler’ tag for them)
Backseat modding
Repeated promotion for other games or spread of referral links (note that discussing other games in an orderly manner is allowed)
Spam Section 3 – Non-offences that will result in a mod-action The following things are not offences, but mods might take action about them;
Serious exploits should not be posted in the bug-section, but sent to bugs@.. , posts about them will be removed.
Over-heated arguments (‘Flames’) will be closed and/or removed.
When threads move away from their original topic, they will be split.
Off-topic posts will be moved/removed as required.
These rules also apply to PMs. Note that mods can see your personal messages if they get reported.
Serious or multiple offences might result in a punishment, specially offences against Section 1.
Bear in mind that subforums can have their own rules, so before you post there, please check to see if any are pinned and read them.
Any Punishment, warnings or actions that a moderator may carry out may be discussed with them if you feel it is unfair. If an agreement cannot be reached you have the right to contact me so that we can resolve the issue.

Forum Signature Rules
- Signature text must be in English
- Signature pictures may not exceed following rules:
Height: 150px Width: 800px File size: 50kb
- Overall Signature Length must not be overly excessive on a standard Monitor. Since this is very hard to put a number on, if you have a larger signature you might want to contact a mod to see if it is too large. A good size on a 1024*768 would be at maximum 300px Height
------------------------------------------------------------------
Forum Gallery Rules
- You must own the rights to the image to post it. It must have been taken by you OR be part of Magicduel so as to avoid any copyright issues
- Anything related to Magicduel must not be overly spoilerish. Use your common sense or contact a mod to see what they think
- All pictures must be family friendly. If unsure dont post it or contact a mod.
