                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-">Welcome to the JVGS Forums — a place for gamers to connect, discuss, and share their passion for video games. To keep this community fun and respectful for everyone, please follow these rules.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>1. Be Respectful</strong> Treat all members with respect. Healthy debate is welcome but personal attacks, insults, harassment, and hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Disagree with the idea, not the person.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>2. Stay On Topic</strong> Post in the correct forum board. Gaming discussions go in the Gaming category. Off-topic conversations go in the Off-Topic Lounge. Creator promotions go in Creator's Corner.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>3. No Spam</strong> Do not post repetitive, low quality, or promotional content outside of Creator's Corner. No advertising, affiliate links, or self-promotion in other boards.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>4. No NSFW Content</strong> This is a general audience community. Keep all content appropriate. No explicit, graphic, or adult content of any kind.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>5. No Piracy</strong> Do not discuss, share, or promote game piracy, illegal downloads, or emulation of games you do not own.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>6. English Only</strong> Please post in English so all members can participate in the conversation.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>7. No Spoilers Without Warning</strong> If discussing story spoilers for a game clearly label your post with a spoiler warning in the title.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>8. Respect the Moderators</strong> Moderator decisions are final. If you disagree with a moderation action use private messaging to discuss it respectfully — do not argue publicly in the forums.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>9. No Duplicate Accounts</strong> Each member is allowed one account. Creating multiple accounts to evade bans or bypass restrictions will result in permanent removal.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>10. Have Fun</strong> This is a community built by a gamer for gamers. Enjoy the forums, make friends, track your games, and be part of something great!</p>
<hr class="border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5" />
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><strong>Violations of these rules may result in a warning, temporary suspension, or permanent ban depending on severity.</strong></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-"><em>Thank you for being part of JVGS — Jason</em> &#x1f3ae;</p>]]></content:encoded>
