Welcome to theHunter.com Forums

All of us on the moderation team hope you have fun while you are here.
We have already been contacted by thousands of fans from around the world so here is a great chance to ask questions and make friends.

For those of you who may be new to using forums here are some simple survival tips:

Remember the FAQ link at the top of the page if you need to know about a specific task.

If you see something offensive or if you come across a post that breaks the Code of Conduct you can click the Image at the top of the post to report the post to the Moderation team.

The Do's & Don'ts are not exhaustive but they are a refresher and a good place to point people new to the forum if they are breaking rules or confused.

We have fans from all over the world, but at the moment, we are only supporting English as a language option. We would ask that all posts are made in English so that everybody can share their ideas. If you come across someone whose English is not the best in the world we ask that you are a tolerant as the person may have something interesting to say, they may just be struggling to find the words.

Good Manners and Respect Dos and Don'ts
  • Do, and this is important, remember that the forums are meant to be fun, so please take the time to make friends and think before you post.
  • Do remember that how a post sounds to you and how it reads to someone else may be completely different. If you are being humorous or ironic, trying to share a joke to lighten a mood please use the appropriate emoticons/smilies
  • Don't use "um," or make the debate personal
  • Don't present your opinions as facts. Take the time to provide some evidence or a reference to support what you say.
  • Don't post the same opinion over and over in the hopes of wearing other people down or "winning" a discussion; just move on
  • Don't feel you have to respond when something offends you. If you feel offended or harassed report the post and let the Moderators deal with it. If you shout back you risk being tagged as a troll and being punished as well
  • Do know the difference between differences of opinion and personal attacks. It is okay to agree to disgree, there is no shame in it.
Starting New Threads Dos and Don'ts
  • Do search for existing topics before starting new threads
  • Don't use all-caps or excessive punctuation in thread titles
  • Don't start a new thread unless you have something of substance to say yourself
  • Don't start threads that amount to simple lists; only reasoned/meaty lists are allowed
Posting Messages Dos and Don'ts
  • Do quote other users posts if you're replying to a specific point, but only quote the relevant part not the whole post
  • Don't post in a thread until you have read at least the last fifteen pages or days of content. The point you would like to make may already have been made
  • Do start a new thread if you find an interesting subject in a thread but you start drawing the thread off of the original topic
  • Don't post "Me Too!" messages; add something of substance to the conversation
  • Don't sign your posts. The Tag line at the top of the page tells everybody who you are :D
  • Do please use proper spelling, capitalization, punctuation etc.
  • Don't pimp/advertise your site or product.
  • Don't post the same thing in multiple areas; pick a spot and go with it.
  • Do ask the Moderators about where a thread should go if you are not sure or if the thread needs to be moved. We are here to help. :D
Spoilers and Speculation Do's and Don'ts
  • Do put spoilers in spoiler tags if you are talking about a new movie or TV show.
  • Do know what is and isn't a spoiler (namely information that would spoil something for someone else like a plot twist or the score of a game someone has not seen). See the FAQ for more information
  • Do double check your spoiler tags after you post to make sure they worked by using the preview button
  • Don't use spoilers tags for anything but spoilers
Signatures Warnings, Bans and Trolls Dos and Don'ts
  • Do take any mod warnings you get seriously. They are for your benefit as well as ours. The rules are there for a reason
  • Don't bug the mods to remove warnings
  • Do help us out and report trolls, flame wars, and troublemakers
