Announcements

[Chipp]

A brief listing of rule changes, policy updates, and reminders that all members should be aware of:

• We have developed a set of formal rules for usage of the Thread Tagging system. These changes can be viewed and discussed at this link.
  
• We would also like to remind you of our formal guidelines for behavior in the Chat Room, and how to report issues that may arise in there. That can be viewed in this thread.
  
• Overclock.net is a venue for professional, respectful, and informative discussion. Trolling, fighting, baseless claims, off topic posts, and other such content that does not support this atmosphere of professionalism will not be tolerated.
  
• There is no need to post messages such as "Reported". Much like responding to spam, this simply draws more attention to whatever the issue might be. Don't worry about a post being reported multiple times - all the reports are grouped neatly together for moderators, so it does not matter how many there are for a given issue. They will all be seen at the same time.
  
• Please be sure to check the Overclock.net News and Information forum regularly. Most of the information discussed in this announcement is available there, and it is a great resource for the community. See it here.
  
• As always, a full summary of all rules and guidelines across the entire site is available here in Taeric's great announcement.
  

Any questions on any of these items or other site rule / policy questions should be directed to The Manual, Burn, or myself.

Thank you!
