Additionally, if you fail to cooperate any single warning and continue abuse, you won't be warned further - fore-mentioned measures will apply. If you cooperate with the warning issued, it will be removed after certain time by our Moderator Staff, if seen fit.

Our forums are moderated and the moderators and administrators have the right to close/delete/move/edit/merge/split a thread for whatever reason they see fit. Once a topic is closed or deleted, it is forbidden to start a new one with the same topic or to question why a specific thread has been closed. If you have questions or remarks, please send the moderator who performed this action an email or PM.

TR.Ws Moderator Staff, in its sole discretion, may terminate or remove any content, or your TR.Ws-ID immediately and without notice if (a) TR.Ws believes that you have acted inconsistently with the spirit or the letter of the TR.Ws Terms of Service or the TR.Ws Community Guidelines, or ( b ) TR.Ws believes you have violated or tried to violate the rights of others. Please help us keep TR.Ws an enjoyable and positive experience. If you see a content that violates our rules, please let us know by contacting our administrative team (for general inquiries) or moderators team (for forum related matters).

If a member feels that these rules have been violated there is a link on each topic to report the offensive post to the staff. You can see on the forum index page which moderator is responsible for which forum, and in his/her profile you will find the address(es) where you can reach him/her. The moderators will remove or adjust the message (within a reasonable time) if they find this necessary. This process is done manually, so please do not expect it to happen immediately.

We also hold the right to reveal your identity (or whatever information we know about you) if there is a complaint, or in case of legal actions as consequence of one of your posts.

We reserve the right to change or alter these rules at any time if we deem fit.

If you abide by these rules we can not see any reason why you will not have a nice time on these forums. We welcome you into our family, and please feel free to contact us about remarks, questions, notes etc you may have. Please remember that in the end we are here to have fun and to talk about Lara Croft and Tomb Raider :)
