Banjo-Kazooie Forums

Welcome to the official Banjo-Kazooie forums. Here you will be able to discuss all things Banjo-Kazooie related with other fans of the series. We suggest you read the rules below in order to keep these forums awesome, it will also mean we have less moderating to do. Always remember to keep things civil and above all, enjoy your time here!

To start off, here is a list of moderators if you need to contact them for any reason:

   · Brother Mike

   · MC Monobrow.

Now for the rules...

Listed below are the forum rules that we expect you to follow.  Following these rules help make these forums a social and safe environment where people can converse with each other. Any rule breaks will be dealt with swiftly and painfully. Each violation will be handled on a case by case basis but if violations persists, and depending on how serious the offence was, you are liable to be banned for either a temporary period of time or permanently.

Spam – No, we do not want to buy cheap mobile phones, games, double glazing, utilities, shoes, t shirts, cars, TVs, animals, dinosaurs etc. I also do not want to know about your website, services, company, organisation, or business idea. Spam advertisers will be banned.

Do not reply to any spam thread. Please leave it to the moderators.

Thread Searches – To avoid duplicate threads, please make use of the search function before creating new threads.

Impersonating a Moderator or Rare Employee – This is strictly prohibited.

No Flaming or Trolling – Verbally attacking other members of these forums, or goading others into making such an attack, is strictly against the rules. If you disagree with someone, do so gracefully. This advice on arguing correctly may help.

Bumping Threads – Avoid bumping threads which have been inactive for a long time unless it is relevant. Bumping threads to gain more responses is also not allowed.

The use of the word Newbie, Noob etc – The word newbie and all its different variations are banned.

Locked Threads – Do not make threads asking why a thread has been locked. An explanation will be given in the final post of the locked thread. Contact a moderator if you have any questions relating to this.

Artificially Raising Post Count - Please do not spam or do a massive post run in numerous threads just to increase your post count.  If you're posting only to increase your post count it is usually quite noticeable and your posts are liable to be deleted by a moderator.

Picture or Link Only Posts – Take the time to tell us why you are posting the link or picture.

Illicit Discussions – Threads or posts discussing illegal activities will be deleted.

Inappropriate Content – We want to encourage users of all ages to use these forums so no swearing, racism, pornography, violent images, etc.

No Religion, No Politics – This is a gaming forum where we can all share our love of games, Banjo-Kazooie in particular. Discussions about these topics almost always end in tears – and by tears we mean the sour kiss of the banhammer. There are plenty of internet forums to discuss these issues – this forum, however, is not one of them.

No Bypassing the Swear Filter - If you do swear it will be automatically filtered out.  Bypassing this filter will result in a ban.

Anything That Violates the Terms of Use - As always, anything that violates Rare's Terms of Use is strictly against the rules.

Not rules per se, but recommended practices to avoid other users getting annoyed at you.

Spell Check – Always make sure that you use the spell check function.

Caps Lock – We DO NOT WANT any users shouting in our nice relaxing forums. Lots of exclamation marks are also frowned upon!!!!!

Rumours – You are allowed to post rumours, but make it is clear in the thread title.

Here are a few rules specifically for the Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts forum.

Spoilers – Currently you are able to post spoilers but you have to follow a few rules:

      · Spoilers must be clearly written in the thread title. i.e. "Spoiler Alert!: Blah blah blah..."

      · The text within the thread must be the same colour as the background.

      · Do not quote spoilers when replying, as this will reveal the spoilers.

Moderators take spoilers very seriously, so it is important that everyone follows these guidelines.

Finally please familiarise yourself with the code of conduct and terms of use of using this site.

Be excellent to each other,

George K & Brother Mike
