Forum rules

Welcome to Halo Talk's forum. As a member here you have to abide by a set of rules (which I'm sure you are used to doing). These rules are put in place to ensure a pleasant and well functioning forum for you to enjoy.
We encourage members to read this document every few weeks at least to ensure they are posting while keeping in mind the very latest rules for the forum.
We reserve the right to modify these rules at any time, and will accept no excuses for breaking any of the rules below.
Punishments for the rules will either be documented here, or a moderator will decide what form of action to take.
