The Rules « Thread Started on Sept 6, 2008, 12:43pm »
Rules: 1)Spamming! This is a big rule, and it covers: - Posting 1 word/sentence replies - Posting meaningless replies/ topics - Repeated double posting (remember, you can edit and delete your own posts!) - Posting topics in the wrong board - Consistent bad spelling/grammar that could have been easily avoided. (ie: No full stops in a post.)
As said before, we are lenient and will not give you a warning for one small mistake that you make.
2)No Discrimination This covers: - Racism - Sexism - Religious hatred - Personal flaming These are all looked on as being very serious. You wouldn't use racist language in real life (and if you did, you would probably be carted off to the police) so do not use it online.
3)18+ or Illegal Links/Images Do not post images of an illegal or explicit nature on here. The rules are lax, but I do not want to see any adult images or links to adult sites on here. If you want to tell people about something funny you found that is a bit risky then link to it and make it clear in your post that it is work safe/mind safe or explicit. The last thing we want is a member grounded from using the computer because he clicked on the wrong topic while their parent was in the room.
4)No Member Bashing I'm repeating myself, but its no fun to have someone continually hi-jack threads flaming another member.
5) No Staff Bashing Us staff members get no payment for our labors looking out for the boards, and as such we kindly ask you to respect us. We are not gods, we make mistakes, but don't think you can abuse us.
6)No Mini-Modding What this means is if a member spams, double posts, bumps or breaks any of the above or below rules, do not post anything about it or anything that will make you look like a moderator. It is the mods' job to handle these things. However, if you wish to advise us about it, feel free to drop us a PM. We're not always looking and we can easily miss something that may be upsetting you.
7)Cursing Levels I don't care if you guys swear and curse at one anothers' characters as you RP, but it better not get out of hand. I don't want to see swear word after swear word in one post. Keep it limited, okay? Next, about cursing OOC ( out of character ), you guys better not curse at one another. If you're saying something about a particular topic, or it's just part of your speech, fine, whatever, but no direct attacks.
Notes on Characters and Accounts If you wish to RP more than one character, you must have another account for that character.
Lastly:
DO NOT BE AFRAID OF STARTING THREADS! If you have an idea for a discussion topic, serious or not, do not afraid of starting a topic about it. Just make sure it is in the right forum and does not break any of the above rules and you are all set.
THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE OF ALL: If you are not sure of anything, send a PM (private message) to a staff member. For any reason, we will help in any way we can.
