Here's an example of a helpful post:

"User [link=http://users.ign.com/about/-1313-Evil_Homer]-1313-Evil_Homer[/link] is spamming in this [link=http://boards.ign.com/message.asp?topic=24938550]thread[/link]"

[b][u]Do not just link to a user's profile. Link to what they've done wrong.[/u] [/b]
Believe it or not, we can find profiles when we're reading people's posts, but not necessarily the other way around.

Simply posting [link=http://users.ign.com/about/-1313-Evil_Homer]"-1313-Evil_Homer is spamming"[/link] is NOT helpful and will not be moderated.

[u][i][color=red][b]****[/b][b]Mods are NOT allowed to deal with matters concerning PMs[/b][b]****[/b][/color][/i][/u]

If you receive a PM from anyone that you believe violates the ToS, you will have to contact the [link=http://users.ign.com/about/-1313-Evil_Homer]Board Admin[/link].

non-subscribers can also post links by simply posting the full URL. For example: http://www.google.com <- Put a space before it for it to work.

[b] [color=red]This thread is NOT for arguing, conversing or spamming. It is for reporting TOS violations ONLY. Any other type of post is subject to banning. [/color][/b]

Excuse me but if my thread about asking how to finger a girl was "too graphic" then [link=http://boards.ign.com/teh_vestibule/b5296/200738543/r200738667/]so is this.[/link] I expect to see him banned also.
