fsped09 | 223 Moderator · Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The free for all has been fun, but in order to keep VGS a positive place for all gamers and collectors we need some guidelines to go by. Please take a few minutes to review the "Site Rules" section we've created. https://www.videogamesage.com/site-rules/ We have gone over these rules more than a few times and we've kept it as simple as possible to ensure that VGS is a fun and great place to be and hang out. We are open to hear your suggestions and concerns. Please keep in mind these rules were put together for a community and not everything will be a one size fits all. Thanks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,722 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Can we post information / pictures of adult video games? Must we sensor them out or are we able to post a NSFW tag and post in general? I'm not aiming to post hardcore porn or anything, but in my region, a lot of 18+ games exist, and sometimes they are relevant to console gaming, documentation, etc. About illegal items: is it still ok to sell old bootleg carts and what not, just like how it was on Nintendo Age? Not talking about 1:1 repros , rather old pirates coming out of Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this was aimed more towards latest to current gen modded consoles for free games and flashcarts, copied media and of course 1:1 repros. more so than old bootleg/pirates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,722 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 @MuNKeY I would think so too, but I just want to clarify just to be safe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the adult games, you mean like Bubble Bath Babes or M for Mature? I think the pirate games from the places you outlined shouldn't be a problem. Let me discuss with the VGS team for a final answer and we'll add the details if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alder | 243 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The Auctions section doesn't mention the rules for BINs, I imagine it's safe to say that a "I'll BIN for $50" reply counts as a "bid" and all other aspects fall under the rules outlined in the thread by the seller? Also, do threads like "Guess the Cart" count as a raffle? Or is something only a "raffle" if the winner is chosen at random? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do threads like "Guess the Cart" count as a raffle? Or is something only a "raffle" if the winner is chosen at random? 1.) Yes, BINs use the same rules. If an auction has a BIN element and someone says they want to Buy it Now, then obviously they have the winning bid - typically there hasn't really been any confusion that I've seen on this front - but if you have other questions about it, let us know. 2.) Raffles would be, for example, members having to pay money for a chance to win something. If someone is doing a game or a contest, and giving something away for free, including choosing a winner at random, that is fine - it is just a game giveaway. When we refer to raffles, we are talking about the 'gambling' type, where someone pays a fee for a chance to get something. This would include a standard raffle, facebook game-wheel type scenario, etc. If you have any other questions on what constitutes a raffle, just let us know. Hope this helps to clarify - but let me know if you have any other questions! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I have an interesting idea I'm stealing from facebook groups, but has anyone ever considered using the discord channel for a live claim and/or fire sale if they want to move some goodies? Between PC or mobile apps meant for discord it wouldn't be hard to do rapid fire pictures with values, perhaps even a video feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen similar things, and I have no idea how anybody keeps track of stuff while it's happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
