I'd like to encourage each and every individual to thoroughly read over these rules and from time to time return to check for updates in policy. Understand, that whether you read these or not you will be held accountable to the maximum level of punishment. Warnings are for docile people who have too much patience for rebellious behavior and too little respect for the integrity of their respective community. Action will always be taken, in accordance with the severity of the offense.
As for now these will be the only rules as they give one a basic understanding of common courtesy and allow for a positive environment while maintaining a laid-back demeanor.
- No trolling or flaming will be tolerated, especially in the regard of someone's ethnic, cultural or religious background or on the basis of gender. Any form of derogatory conduct toward another member of the community will result in an immediate IP-ban. Please understand that there's a difference between the aforementioned and harmless banter between friends. That being said, keep things like that to PM and report PMs that you feel violate your rights.
- Advertising sites containing inappropriate material or malware shall not be over-looked and will result in disciplinary action. While the games played by members of this community are geared toward a mature audience there will still be children and for that reason the linking and forwarding of explicit, adult-oriented materials isn't appropriate.
- The excessive use of coarse language will be viewed as a minor offense and there will be no variance among the staff as to where to draw the line. This means that each staff member will be like-minded on the issue and address it in the same way.
- Every member of the community is an equal. Should you be hazed by a staff member no tolerance stands and they will be penalized to the maximum capability, as far as logic and reason permit.
As for now these will be the only rules as they give one a basic understanding of common courtesy and allow for a positive environment while maintaining a laid-back demeanor.
