Welcome to the Lionhead Studios forums!
Lionhead Studios offers these forums for its community and gamers in general. They can chat and share information, opinions and ideas with each other in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. If you’d like to participate in these forums, you will have to create a Lionhead Studios account, which also allows you to register your products and to participate and enjoy special features for registered members. And before you ask: no, we don’t send you any spam (unless you consider a newsletter spam?) or sell your information on. There’s only one thing we’d like you to keep in mind when using these forums: adhere to the Guidelines to these Forums and treat your fellow members with respect!
Guidelines to these Forums are listed below and explain to you what behaviour is expected of you and how you can expect other community members to behave, although every reported post will be evaluated on a case by case basis. This adds up to a social and safe environment, where people can converse with each other. Your access to these forums is a privilege, not a right; for that reason Administrators of Lionhead Studios reserve the right to suspend your account and access to these forums and any other online and community service for reasons that include, but are not necessarily limited to, your failure to follow these guidelines or behave in a way that is deemed as appropriate. Any complaints about posts should be submitted to moderators by reporting the post on the forums. To do this, you will find a button in the bottom right corner of each post, which clearly states “Report Abuse”. It won’t get any easier than that, now will it? Also keep in mind that abuse of the report button is considered a Moderate Offence and will result in a temp ban.
