What are the rules?
No flaming: Try to behave yourself and not cuss out other users, even if they did you any wrong. If you do this, chances are you will get punished just as hard as the one offending you.
No spam: Try to make your posts and comments longer than 7 words, otherwise it can be considered spam and deleted.
No circumventing our Censor: If you really have to swear, let the censor do the censoring, and do not try to write it out in a way that could bypass our censor.
Try not to post in really old threads. There is a reason for them not to be on the front page. Make a new one, if you are concerned about something. (Usual guideline is in between 10 pages/two weeks of searching back in the section).
Relevance. Make sure your thread or post actually is relevant to the section or thread you post in. And that you are contributing to the topic.

Flagging/reporting:
If you find posts or threads that break the rules, but in a non harmful (and thus urgent way), flag these posts by clicking the red flag on the side.
If the rule being broken is harmful, report the offender to a mod with a link to the place the rule is being broken, and who the offender is.

Spam:
Spam in our context is either short (unnecessary) posts, shorter than 7 words, is unrelated to the topic completely, is advertising links to external sites or to threads that is unrelated to the topic.
Spam is also repeated posts and copied posts or comments. Please do report such happenstances to a mod.
For more: Here.

Common suggestions:
We have a list of common suggestions, but considering the soon to be released AG3, you are better off suggesting something for the new version, than trying to get something done in this.
Common suggestions can however be found here.

--

Who are the mods?
This lot.
If you believe you could be a mod, do not ask the other mods if you could be one, either show us through a good behaviour, or use the contact page to ask the staff. Please do not suggest other users either. If they are not mods yet, then they are either being considered already, we are not looking, or they have been rejected (for now).

Merits:
Info here and here.
A merit is a reward given to good, useful and constructive game comments (as well as a prize for winning certain contests in the art section).
It consists of 25AP and a nod in your merit-count.

Mods are always on the lookout for merits when they clean spam from games, so if you have not gotten a merit for some outstanding comment of yours, either we have not yet seen it, or perhaps it was not as outstanding as you thought.
Remember that being given a merit is not a right.
Please do not ask for merits or suggest comments for merits, we can do this job fine ourselves.

How do I...
Use the codes of this site?
A good guide can be found here with and addition here.
How do I find a friend of mine?
You can either ask them for their username, or go looking in the forums. There is no real way to search for them, besides our various costom searches, one which can be found here.
If you know their username, just insert it in this link: armorgames.com/user/NAMEHERE
How do I friend another user?
Go to their profile, click the green "ADD FRIEND" button. You have now friended the other user.

I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS!!
Look through this and this. If your question has not been answered then, feel free to post the question in either the Support and Suggestions section or the Newcomers section.

Missing a game?
We do have moments of disappearing games for some reason. Check it is just not loading. Hopefully this will be resolved in AG3.

Amazing how the employees stress their FAQs, but however in the merits section it seems that they have a wrong sentence instead of using "Please don't demand or asks moderators to give you merits" they put up there "DON'T ASK" so what if a user asks what is a merit? what a great sense of humor

I don't know if you are actually referring to this thread, the threads it links to or the help page or what, since I can't see where the "DON'T ASK" past is used.
We use several &quotlease don't ask for", because the users doesn't demand merits, they ask for them.
This does not tie in with the "what if they ask what a merit is", since "ask for" and "ask about" is two different things.

Also show some friendly service next time this is not a place for treating people here like soldiers

Uh, do we do this?

Plus they are trying to introduce them self in a negative light, people might get insulted of how things work here, i am just concerned for the newcomers here on AG of how to develop themselves in this site

All i can say is that show some kindness first and if they cross the line and break the rules and i don't care how many times they do it, Then that's the right time to be oblivious and show great discipline to a misguided user

How do I add a friend?

Hwo do I add/find/search a friend?
^ That thread answers it well.

Basically, click on someone's name in the forums, comments, or type it into the address bar with "armorgames.com/user/USERNAMEHERE" (replace USERNAMEHERE with their username) then click the "add friend" button on their profile.

This is why you lost points. You lost the armatar because you didn't have enough points to keep it.

If the site didn't have ads, we'd all be paying to have accounts here. This particular ad has caused quite a bit of trouble ever since it landed on the main page, and if it's preventing people from accessing the main page, it will probably be removed and replaced with a less-obstructive ad.
