Spamming - spams will be deleted, and the spammer will get a warning
Replies - try to keep character replies larger. Short repliers will be asked to expand the reply until it is satisfactory
Being courteous:
cursing - curses have an automatic block, so this isn't much of a problem.
rudeness - a warning.
Godmoding/powerplaying - I will intervene with a warning. repeated offences will result in a temporary ban on rping - but not the website -
Multiple accounts - I will either IM you, or email you and request the deletion of the latter account. If you do not delete it, I will transfer your characters to your other account, and delete the second account. (I'm trying not to be too strict, but multiple accounts are confusing, and unneccessary)
Proboards TOS violation - Depends on what it is. I will decide.
Innappropriate behavior toward staff, or any other member - warnings and then more severe action
Listed below are things I will not tolerate. Violators will recieve ONE warning. Any other offenses, major or minor and the user will be deleted, and the user's email will be banned.
-Asking for personal details. This includes: Real Name, Where you live, and Phone number, among other details.
-Making a hurtful comment about someone's race, religion, sexual orientation, whatever. I will not tolerate it.
(I will add to this list as I see fit. Circumstances will be evaluated BY SITUATION, and I have the right to use my opinion as law here.)
Also, sorry for being so serious. I need to lay that down, so noone gets scared, feels threatened, or hurt. (comes with the job)
Basically, I work on a 3-strike policy. You get 3 strikes:
Strike 1 – Warning and a 7-day probation. Any offenses within the probation, and the account will be deleted.
Strike 2 – Strict Warning, I will put a warning to staff to watch you, and you will get a 14-day probation. Any offenses within the probation, and the account will be deleted.
Strike 3 – I will email you with the announcement that I have deleted your account.
If your account is deleted – All your posts will be gone. I will not save your character profile, or any of your work. If you have the nerve to be disrespectful to not only me, but the work I put into this site, and the other RPers, I have no obligation to be nice to you.
Of course, this entire system is up to my discretion. For example:
Player 1 Offenses: Godmoding, Short Replies, and Cursing a bit / I’m not going to delete this person’s account. Maybe they are an inexperienced RPer, or whatever. I don’t feel this is serious enough for an account deletion. If this happens, I will PM you and warn you.
Player 2 Offenses: Asks person where they live. / This is serious. For this, you will get a severe warning, you will get your warning level raised significantly, and you will be on a 2-month probation.
