Terms and rules

Welcome to ExpGames. These terms apply to this forum ("Service"). By registering, signing in or using it, you accept everything below. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

The short version: be decent to people, post only things you are allowed to post, keep your account to yourself, and respect the staff.

1. Who we are

The providers ("we", "us", "our") run this forum. ExpGames is an unofficial fan community. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Lucasfilm, Disney, Electronic Arts, BioWare, Valve or Facepunch Studios. Star Wars, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Steam and Garry's Mod are trademarks of their respective owners.

2. Age

The Service is only available to users who are at least 13 years old. If you are younger than this, please do not register. If you register, you state that you are that age or older.

3. Your account and Steam sign-in

  • You sign in with your Steam account. We never see your Steam password. Steam tells us only your public Steam ID, name and avatar.
  • You are responsible for everything done through your account. Keep your Steam account secure, and tell staff if you think someone else is using yours.
  • One person, one account. Do not create extra accounts to avoid a punishment or to pretend to be several people.
  • Do not impersonate staff or other members.
  • If you want your account closed, please contact us.

4. What we store and what others can see

  • The forum stores your Steam ID, Steam name and avatar, and what you post.
  • Your forum profile may also show your character details (name, regiment and rank) taken from the ExpGames roster.
  • Posts you make may be reviewed by staff and may be sent to third-party spam prevention services. Do not post anything you consider private or confidential.
  • We do not sell your data. We may share it where the law requires us to.

5. Content you post

All content you submit, upload or otherwise make available to the Service ("Content") is your responsibility. Content submitted expresses the views of its author only, and we are not responsible for user-generated content or accounts.

You agree not to use the Service to submit or link to any Content that is defamatory, abusive, hateful, threatening, spam or spam-like, likely to offend, contains adult or objectionable content, contains personal information of others, risks copyright infringement, encourages unlawful activity, or otherwise violates any laws. You are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content or your conduct.

You keep the copyright in your Content. By posting it you grant us a non-exclusive, permanent, irrevocable, unlimited licence to use, publish or re-publish it in connection with the Service. We may remove or modify any Content at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice.

6. Forum conduct

  • Respect. No harassment, hate speech, slurs, threats or targeting of members.
  • Privacy. No doxxing and no sharing other people's personal information.
  • Stay civil. Disagree without insulting. Take disputes to a staff report instead of arguing them out in public threads.
  • No spam or advertising. This includes advertising other communities or servers without staff permission, and posting the same thing in several places.
  • Post in the right place. Use the forum that fits the topic, and use a clear thread title.
  • Usernames. Usernames and avatars must not be offensive or impersonate staff or other members.

7. Staff, reports and appeals

  • Follow staff instructions. If you disagree, comply first and appeal afterwards.
  • Report problem posts or members with the Report button, or in a Staff Report.
  • Staff may give warnings, remove content, restrict your account or ban you, depending on what you did. Staff may add or change these rules at any time.
  • Appeal bans in the Ban Appeals forum and wait for a reply. Do not make a new account to get around a ban.

8. Removing content and ending access

We may remove or modify any Content, and we may end your access to all or any part of the Service, at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. Requests to remove or modify Content will be considered at our discretion.

9. No guarantees

The Service is provided as it is. We do not promise that it will always be available or error-free, or that content will never be lost. We are not liable for loss or damage arising from your use of the Service, to the extent the law allows.

10. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms at any time. Important changes will be announced on the forum, but you are responsible for checking this page. Using the Service after a change means you accept it.

11. Contact

For questions, to report a problem, or to close your account, use the Contact us page or open a Staff Report.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not register or use the Service. Use of the Service constitutes acceptance of these terms.
