- <li>Do not inappropriately advertise your uploads. In special cases, it is acceptable to mention new uploads in an approved thread, but be sure to carefully read the thread's rules before posting. It is also acceptable to discuss releases you have uploaded when conversing about the title itself. Blatant attempts to advertise your uploads outside of the appropriate forums or threads may result in a warning or loss of privileges.</li>

|
|
74

|
|
77
|
+ <li>Please be modest when talking about your uploads. It's unnecessary to announce your uploads because Gazelle logs everything (at least one this is encrypted). If someone asks for help on his project and your upload fits the bill, go write a post!</li>

- <li>Don't post comments that don't add anything to the discussion. This generally includes any post without its own substance, such as "I agree" or "haha". These kinds of posts are annoying to people who are trying to actually find some information in a thread.</li>

|
|
- <li>Refrain from quoting excessively. When quoting someone, use only the portion of the quote that is absolutely necessary.</li>
