Forum Rules
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2014 4:54 pm
I'll try to be brief with this, as most of these are common sense things. My days of grouping things into articles and sections to quote chapter and verse for infractions like an episode of J.A.G. are thankfully over. 
1. Treat your fellow players, the moderators, and administrators with respect. You can dislike each other for whatever reason--I won't enforce some yuppie "we're all friends here" nonsense--but on this forum, at least a basic modicum of civility and respect is expected.
3. No posting porn, gorn, or shock sites. These will merit an automatic ban. This includes the Private Messaging system.
4. We are a mature audience forum. I am designing this game and forum with responsible adults in mind; if you're under sixteen, you probably shouldn't be here, but that is simply a recommendation. If you're under thirteen, you will be banned in accordance with COPPA. However, this is not license to be unnecessarily abusive, crude, or crass in off-topic forums or with each other.
5. Anyone posting genuinely illegal content (child pornography, etc) will be permabanned and have their information reported to all appropriate authorities.

- a. Don't spam. It's annoying and disrespectful to the community.
b. Don't flame each other. There's a difference between good-natured ribbing and personal attacks; the former is okay, the latter will land you in hot water.
c. Don't harass each other on or off the forum. Again, it's disrespectful (and a targeted form at that) and can edge into criminality.
d. Keep in-character tiffs in-character. It's a game. For fun. Conversely, do not take personal issues into the game.
e. Don't intentionally derail discussions; that's a form of spamming.
f. The PM system is a part of the forum and subject to all rules that apply to the forum. Don't try to use it for ill-intentioned reasons.
3. No posting porn, gorn, or shock sites. These will merit an automatic ban. This includes the Private Messaging system.
