Ok, pretty straightforward stuff here...

1) Respect other members. This community consists of regulars, newbies, mods, and developers, all here for the same reasons: hockey, video games, and of course NHL 2K games. We can all co-exist and will have no problems if people treat others appropriately.

2) Do NOT come here just to bash the game or the developers. This forum is for the enjoyment and betterment of the 2K hockey games -- so while issues and frustrations are to be expected at times, constructive criticism is not just the rule of thumb; it's encouraged. Use the Wishlist, try to find solutions to problems. If you are logging in here with nothing to contribute but negativity, you will be better served finding another forum.

3) Use common sense. Do not post things just to get a rise out of people or that you know will cause problems with other members or moderators. Inappropriate language and images will not be tolerated, and stressing the swear filter is discouraged.

4) As long as people follow these basic guidelines, everything will be fine. If we find we need to take action due to unruly behavior or the breaking of these rules, we will, issuing anything from queued posts to suspensions. Continued disruptions will result in being banned, and anyone found signing back up under a new username to continue causing problems will be banned permanently.

5) Please keep signature images a reasonable height/width, and around 20k or less. This helps with page loading and especially benefits our broadband-challenged friends.

6) You'll find a lot of information, online matchups, and good people here, so welcome, and have a good time.
