| Subject: General Forum Rules Sat Apr 17, 2010 7:06 pm | |
| The following rules apply to all those registered on this forum. There is no reason to keep an extensive list, because all these rules should be common sense.
- Respect.
Everyone should be treated with equal respect, regardless of rank. We will not tolerate people who put down and harass members because of their rank on the forum. Treat everyone how you would want to be treated.
- Discrimination.
Discriminating people because of their race, age, sex, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, [or etc.] will not be tolerated. These are strictly forbidden, and if personal problems arise, contact staff immediately.
- Spam.
Spam consists of bumping topics and applications, posting unnecessary messages and being disturbing to the members. This will not be tolerated in the forum, or in the chatbox.
- Put-downs/Rudeness.
Be nice! Everyone wants to have fun here, and no one likes to be around cynical people.
- Begging.
Begging can be described as constantly contacting the staff members to check your application, or whatever that needs to be checked. One notice is plenty, trust us. This really annoys the staff members and shouldn't be done. Don't worry about your application; staff will get to it.
- Authority.
As well as respecting members, you must respect your authorities. Authorities here include administrators, moderators and people with staff positions. Respecting your authority should be a given.
- Swearing.
Swearing during a role play will be tolerated. The usage of asterisks is not necessary. Don't use swear words to cuss at one another.
- Plagiarism.
Plagiarism is "taking another person's ideas, thoughts, or works and using them as one's own." Any account of plagiarism is forbidden here, whether it is stealing a character idea from another person, or copying a role play post.
Failure to comply will result in consequences. | |
