Forum Rules & Offenses
The forum rules are important. They tell you what posts are allowed and which ones aren't. Read it!
• Unrelated (Off-Topic) Posting:
Any posts that are considered unrelated to the original topic may be moved to a new thread, a more closely related thread, or to the universal Off-Topic Thread.
• Spam Posting:
Any posts that are considered to be "spam" may be removed or moved to the universal Off-Topic Thread. "Spam" is defined as "intentionally posting repeatedly in rapid succession".
• Trolling:
Trolling is defined as "posting with the intention of inciting a flame or otherwise instigate a user."
• Harassment:
Harassment is defined as "persistently seeking to disturb or disrupt a player's experience on the server." This includes "call out" threads of any sort, as well as using someone's photo without their permission.
• Flaming:
Flaming is defined as "targeting a specific user or group of users with an offensive comment". This includes personally insulting a user or making a racist comment. Note that this includes flaming in reaction to a previous post: regardless of the cause, any violations will be punished accordingly.
• Inappropriate Content:
Any extremely inappropriate or offensive material (i.e. pornography) will be removed. In some cases, you may post a link and include that it may not be safe for work, but posting the content itself is not acceptable. Depending on the nature of the content, punishment may range from the post being removed to a permanent ban, at the discretion of a moderator.
• General Malicious/Inappropriate behavior:
If the administration feels that a player is demonstrating malicious or inappropriate behavior on the server, then the administration reserves the right to punish the player as they see fit.
Warnings & Punishments
• Warnings are on a three strikes system.
• You are allowed three warnings before a temporary ban from the forums and in-game.
• If repeated warnings and bans have been issued, you will be IP banned and then have your account deleted.
