If you follow these rules you wont get in trouble with the Moderators watching over the boards.
1. You may not harass or abuse others. Harassment is defined as specifically targeting another player or group of players to harm or inconvenience them. As harassment can take many forms, the moderators will make a determination as to whether or not a "reasonable person" would feel harassed and act accordingly. Actions which would be considered abuse include but are not limited to: a. Sexual Abuse or Harassment - untoward and/or unwelcome advances of a graphic and sexual nature. This includes, but is not limited to, virtual rape, overt sexual overtures, and stalking of a sexual nature b. Attempting to Defraud - petitioning with false information with the intent of receiving benefits as a result. This includes reporting player misconduct without basis for it. c. Impersonating a Moderator - falsely representing yourself to another player as a Staff Member. d. Personnel Abuse - including, but is not limited to, sending excessive private messages or e-mails to a moderator or staff member, making physical threats, or using abusive language against a moderator.
2. No inflammatory speech. Any speech or inference, direct or indirect, that constitutes a personal attack against another individual or group, is forbidden.
3. No whining. Whining is defined as "an attack upon an idea, concept or problem, without offering a counter-idea, alternative concept, or a solution." Any and all whines are strictly prohibited. We want to hear your ideas; however, attacking ideas without offering constructive criticism is counter productive.
4. No Spam. No advertising your Aunt's Avon catalogue site, etc. Please keep our forums free of unsolicited advertisement or product promotion.
5. You are fully responsible for your own account & the protection of your password. Statements such as "My friend/sister/brother was using my account" are not acceptable as an explanation for violation of any rule. If you share your account with someone and they break the rules it will be treated the same as if you broke the rules yourself. Your account & password are your sole responsibility.
6. Read and Follow Staff Messages. If staff or moderators post rules specific to a board they must be obeyed. Staff gives of their own time to keep the boards running smoothly and failure to comply with their requests is grounds for deletion.
7. Staff may delete messages at their discretion: Part of the job of moderators is to keep the boards clean. Messages deemed inappropriate, old, or off topic may be deleted by moderators at any time.
