Fatal Mistakes

These are just guidelines. Not knowing is not going to get you shitlisted or banned unless otherwise stated.


 * 1) Asking When do the MAME EXTRAs come out.
 * 2) Not backing up your ROMs.
 * 3) Using obscene language.
 * 4) Publically arguing with any Pleasuredome Members is a No, No. Treat other members with the same respect that you expect back. Being rude does not help.
 * 5) Asking to be an uploader if you just signed up. We usually don't accept freshly-signed up members as uploaders as to get an idea what kind of person we're dealing with.
 * 6) Not helping your fellow members if you can.
 * 7) Downloading the same torrent content more than once without permission. That can be seen as abuse. Read this for information on how to transfer files to other computers via FTP.
 * 8) Stopping your torrent immediately after you download it. Pleasuredome is a community who shares disk space, bandwidth, free time etc. You can't be a member in good standing if you don't intend to share.
 * 9) Seeding torrents for short periods of time. Fresh connections do not connect to as many peers. Keep seeding torrents for many continuous hours if you can.
 * 10) Seed to AT LEAST 1:1 ratio if possible. If not, seed until SAC times (Seeding After Completion times) are green (10 hours) on the tracker.
 * 11) Ignoring the You are not CONNECTABLE message.
 * 12) Not reading the rules.
 * 13) Not using clrmamepro or RomVault to update a torrent. Or at least using the "Overwrite and TorrentCheck" method. There are Benefits of using Clrmamepro or Romvault.
 * 14) Not using the Pleasuredome Wiki main page or the search option of the forum first before posting anything new.
 * 15) Not reading the Pleasuredome main page for the latest news.
 * 16) Not introducing yourself in the Newbies Forum.
 * 17) Attaching or linking a binary or an executable on the forum is prohibited.
 * 18) Not participating in the forum.
 * 19) Not keeping a eye on your ratio.
 * 20) Thinking you know it all.
 * 21) Talking about Taboo systems in the context of emulation.
 * 22) Not doing what the staff recommends.
 * 23) Posting XXX images.
 * 24) Posting only to increase post count.
 * 25) Going off-topic on the forum.
 * 26) Using cheating torrent clients. (PERMANENT BAN OFFENSE)
 * 27) Not using the Internet Relay Chat (IRC).
 * 28) Getting yourself shitlisted or banned .
 * 29) Not using the recommended torrent client and version. And then complaining it doesn't work properly.
 * 30) Not asking for redemption if you get shitlisted.
 * 31) Making a second (duplicate) account. (INSTANT BAN OFFENSE)
 * 32) Downloading the same torrent from two IPs simultaneously.
 * 33) Lack of patience.
 * 34) Being a liar.
 * 35) Posting in a different language other than English. The Forum is English-only. We cannot help you if we don't understand you.
 * 36) Asking to upload a torrent without checking if it's already here. With being an uploader comes great responsibility. All uploaders have to do a lot of research to maintain and upload a torrent. Would you?
 * 37) Asking for a CUSTOM-FREE Ticket.
 * 38) Always have an excuse for everything.
 * 39) Not joining the Folding@home team. It helps to build up your ratio and contributes to humanity.
 * 40) Not reading Kubla-Khan's Guide To Pleasuredome.
 * 41) Linking to another tracker whether private or public or talking about them on the Forum. It's against the Pleasuredome rules.
 * 42) Getting shitlisted more than once. This big Fatal mistake could get you Banned .
 * 43) Thinking that redeeming is forever (it's not, it's only temporary), so please make an effort to redeem quickly.
 * 44) Asking if it's possible to donate or buy some upload credit. We don't sell upload credit or ratio, because doing so would be the equivalent of selling off other people's bandwidth.
 * 45) Asking why another member got banned or shitlisted.
 * 46) Creating a Repeated PID Found post in the forums.
 * 47) Uploaders do a lot of research to: locate, download, verify, ensure Pleasuredome safety, organize with a ROM Manager, and Torrentzip a torrent, to maintain and share Pleasuredome torrents. So don't you think its a good idea to hit the thank you button? And or vote the post up ( [[File:Rep_up.png]] ) as an acknowledgement of their 100s to 1,000s of hours of work.
 * 48) Question: "If I just finish downloading a torrent but can't start seeding immediately, will that look bad?" Answer: "Yes, it could be seen as a hit and run. So please restart your torrent as soon as possible." (similar to Fatal Mistake #8)
 * 49) To reedit a post which was edited by a Staff member is a BIG FATAL MISTAKE that could get you shitlisted.
 * 50) Not reading the Fatal Mistakes Wiki page thoroughly.

The Staff always has the last word.
