Reminder: For security reasons you have to create one account for the forums, and one for the store. The following rules apply to your forum account.
Ubiworkshop is a place of discussion. We ask that all posts are civil, respectful and constructive.
Groups
To emphasize sharing of common interests, Ubiworkshop allows you to create groups (for example cosplay, Assassin’s Creed, chrislewis fans, etc). These groups can be public or private. Once you have created one you are responsible for managing it.
All you have to do to create a group is click on “create group” and follow the instructions.
Once a group is created, you will see that the group page displays all you group-related news: new posts, new members, etc.
Forum and comments rules
Here a few rules covering the sort of behavior that is and isn’t acceptable here. While the general guideline is “Don’t be a troll”, all visitors must also abide by these rules. If you do not do so your post may be moved, locked or deleted, and may also result in a temporary or permanent ban.
Inappropriate Content
Gamers of all ages are welcome to view these forums. As such, any posts containing
profanity, obscenity, insults, personal attacks, accusations or abusive language will be edited or deleted and will result in a warning or, in severe or persistent cases, a ban from the forum.
This forum may also use a language filter to remove words that we consider inappropriate for use here.
Racial, religious or sexual slurs are likely to result in immediate banning. Discussion of software piracy in any of its forms is strictly not allowed on these boards. “Piracy” includes links to illegal downloads of games or methods by which to circumvent copy protection mechanisms.
No Flaming
This includes any kind of personal insult, flame or intimidation. Responding in kind to a flame message is viewed as equally unacceptable, regardless of who started it. If you believe you are being insulted or otherwise flamed by another poster, please PM a forum moderator or admin rather than responding. This applies to both written text and image posting.
There is no need to turn disagreements into heated arguments. Rather than letting these threads become flame wars please agree to disagree or the thread is likely to be locked.
No spamming
Repeatedly posting the same post or topic in a forum, or across multiple forums, is considered spamming. Such posts will be locked, edited or removed. Intentional off topic or nonsense posting is also likely to be considered spam and will receive the same treatment, especially if this takes an existing thread off topic. This applies to both written text and image posting.
If you think of something else you want to add to the thread, please use the Edit button rather than making multiple posts in a row as this may also be seen as spamming, whether intentional or not.
Stay on topic
Please make sure your post is going in the correct thread. Threads that are off topic, or become so, may be moved or locked.
Private Threads
This forum system allows users to create Private Threads, similar to Private Messages on other forums. While only invited users can normally view these threads, they are also subject to the same rules and moderation as public threads. As such these are also viewable by Forum Managers in instances where the PT is reported.
No bumping
Making short posts made with the sole intention of keeping posts near the top of the forum is called “bumping”. This raises forum traffic and clutter unnecessarily and moves more active threads down the page. As such it is not allowed and may result in the thread being lost and persistent offenders may have their posting privileges removed.
Language
We ask that you avoid “txt spk” or posting in all caps as this can be considered rude or make posts difficult to read.
Reporting Posts
If you see a post that you think needs moderator attention, please report it by sending a private message to a moderator or admin. While it is not always possible to deal with a reported post immediately, all reported posts will be dealt with accordingly if they require it.
External Content
Anything linked to from these forums must follow by the same rules as any content directly posted here. This includes signature images, links and images.
Duplicate Accounts
Creating an extra forum account is not allowed on these forums and second or further accounts will be removed. Doing so to get around a temporary ban will also result in a permanent one.
