A short guide to how the staff will be handling rule breakers.
Rule One:
Please contact staff with any issues with members or the forums.
Consequence for not doing so:
Well, if it's a forum issue, it's okay to post about it. If you're having a member issue, it's best if we help you. If you're rude to another member more than once, that's harassment, and will get you banned for 6 months or your IP can get banned.
Rule Two:
You are, under no circumstances, allowed to bully others because of their age, gender, sexuality, religion, race, or skill set for any reason at all.
Consequences for doing the above:
Banned for six months/forever/IP address banned.
Rule Three:
Moderators and administrators have colored names. Anyone who calls themselves "staff" without any colored name is impersonating a staff member. Do not give anyone your password. NEVER ask for anyone else's password, and you will be banned if you do so. NEVER give anyone, under any circumstances, your password.
Consequences for doing the above:
Impersonation of a staff member:IP banned
Giving password to impersonator: banned
Asking for someone else's password: banned
Rule Four:
Posts must be reported with a reason, otherwise, you will receive a warning. If there is a box asking for you to explain why you reported this post, please give a reason, such as 'They were spamming and posting outside links'
Consequences for reporting without a reason:
A warning
Rule Five:
Be aware of spoilers. No one on this site is responsible for spoiling any book, unless they did not put up a "Spoiler alert" somewhere.
Consequences:
Purposefully spoiling something: 5% warning level+verbal warning
Not adding "Spoiler alert": A verbal warning
Rule Six:
Keep your talk appropriate. As we are a warriors' forum based board, I would like to ask you not to use any language that would not be said in a PG movie.
Consequences for saying inappropriate things:
1st time: Verbal warning
2cd time: Verbal warning+Non-removable note on your profile+Warning level=25%
3rd time: Verbal warning telling you you're banned
And if you get back onto the site, we'll ban your IP address
Rule Seven:
No spamming. Outside links that are related to the topic are, however, allowed. I am not a tyrant. We also have a board just for other websites, and you have a space for a website in your profile, and you have your signature. Plenty of space to advertise. Spa also includes getting of topic on a thread, double posting, posting something that advertises something or is a one-word reply.
Consequences for doing the above:
Spamming: Verbal warning+post removed
Outside link(on wrong thread/board): Verbal warning, post removed, and a note on your profile.
Multiple spam posts: 5% of ban meter is filled
Rule Eight:
Do not, for any reason at all, give out personal information.
Consequences for doing the above:
Verbal warning+post deleted
Rule Nine:
Images on this site must appropriate, and not offensive to anyone. Nudity, sexual themes, and excessive blood/gore is prohibited.
Consequences for doing the above:
Banned for a month, then if it happens again, you're banned for six months.
Rule Ten:
Use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation as best you can. If you have a spell check, please use it.
Consequences for doing the above:
Verbal warning
Rule Eleven:
Check on the "Rules" board frequently. We update our rules regularly.
Rule Twelve:
Please work hard. I made part of this board purposefully so you can all goof off, but I also made this board so we can accomplish our tasks.
And have fun. I can't force fun on any of you, so go ahead and have fun if you want to.
