1. No profanity, inappropriate material or content. This is a family friendly game; we have players of all ages. Profanity is strictly prohibited. Any material that is pornographic, sexually explicit, derogatory, or discriminates on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, color, creed, religion, lifestyle; or, any other material that may be deemed as objectionable in a public community environment, is strictly prohibited. Excessive use of foul language in an inappropriate context, including swear words, real-world racial slurs, alternate spellings and other language that are designed to hurt, will be considered a disruption.
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:
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
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.
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.
No inflammatory speech. Any speech or inference, direct or indirect, that constitutes a personal, attack against another individual or group, is prohibited.
No Spam. Unsolicited promotion of other web sites, or products, is rude. The occasional post about a game, (we all love games) is fine, but no advertising your Uncle's Avon catalog site, etc. Please keep our forums free of unsolicited advertisement or product promotion.
Signatures: Signatures if used, should be no more than six lines of text. Please remain brief and to the point. If you reference an image in your signature instead of text, it must be no larger than 468 (wide) x 60 (long) pixels in size. (File size of no more than 40k as it will cause the page to load slowly otherwise)
Read and Follow Staff Messages: If staff or moderators post rules specific to a board they must be obeyed. Staff give of their own time to keep the boards running smoothly and failure to comply with their requests is grounds for deletion.
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.
