  • The Grand Alliance Forums (TGA) is an international community open to hobbyists from all walks of life and all ages. As such we have some ground rules that we all must follow in order to help ensure that the site remains a friendly and engaging community of gamers. Our goal is to create a thriving online community where users are welcome to come and share in their enjoyment of the wargaming hobby and the Age of Sigmar setting. 

    Community Rules

    Please abide by the following extremely reasonable rules if you intend to post on our website.

    No Spam/trolling. 
    Note that any user using the forums to continually complain/deride or otherwise insult the game system/company/other gamers; will constitute as spam/trolling behaviour

    No Unauthorised Advertising 
    Unofficial advertising of any commercial product or service on these forums is not permitted. We have a trading subsection on the site purely for non-commercial sale of secondhand wargaming related items between users of the site. If you wish to advertise please first contact @Ben with a private message in order to arrange advertising rights on the forums. 

    Flaming 
    Any material which constitutes defamation, harassment, or abuse is strictly prohibited. This includes (and is not limited to) users of TGA forums as well as people and entities outside of TGA. 

    Offensive Content 
    Material that is sexually or otherwise obscene, racist, or otherwise overly discriminatory is not permitted on these forums.
    This includes user names, avatars and any post content. 

    Illegal Content 
    Providing or asking for information on how to illegally obtain or provide copied models or IP protected books and materials is forbidden. 

    Posting Copyrighted Content
    Please refrain from posting photos of copyright material. This might take the form of photos of a battletome, rulebooks (even those not yet published) or links to this type of content on external websites. This includes rules, models, artwork etc...  
    Special note - we are aware that unpublished material released in advance of publication is often very popular as rumour material. Whilst we expect users to continue to follow the rules regarding such material, we are more lenient when taking disciplinary action regarding this matter. 

    Cross-posting 
    Do not post the same thread in multiple subsections of the forum. Once is enough. If you mistakenly post your thread in the wrong section (or believe you have) please use the report button and fill in a request to move the thread into the report comment section for a moderator to handle. 

    Signature Size 
    To avoid annoyance, signatures should not be more than five lines of text or 100px height.

    User Attitude
    Users are free to express their own opinions, positive and negative, on the forums. We do, however, expect that when users express their frustrations/displeasure/disagreements, that they do so in a constructive manner. 

    The views of the poster
    Comments & forum messages represent the views of the poster and not the views of TGA Community

    Most of all have fun!
    This is your place to discuss your hobby, but please remember, it’s other people’s hobby too.
    Have fun!

    Reporting Content
    If you see any user breaking rules of the site or otherwise require assistance from the site staff please use the "Report" button (small triangle in the top right of a post). Because a moderator might not interpret the reported content the same way that you do, please take a moment to fill in the report form with your reason for the report. 

    Enforcement of the Rules is performed by the site moderators under direction of the forum admin and owner. It is the duty of moderators to interpret and enforce the rules of the forum. If at any point you feel that you've been unfairly treated by a member of the site staff please do report this instance for review. We take such reports very seriously. 

    Warning points
    Warning points are issued to users if they are deemed necessary by the moderators. Warnings are archived on a users profile for reference. There is no threshold in points for disciplinary actions taken, each situation is weighted on its own severity and the behaviour (not score) of the users history on the site. 
    Standard practice for allocation of warning points are as follows. Please remember that these are only guidelines and that actual points awarded (if any) are at moderators discretion:

    1 warning is issued for any situation requiring moderator intervention regarding a users behaviour
    5 warnings for a serious breach of rules requiring multiple moderator intervention/discussion.
