These are the official rules of Zaphod Forum boards. Please read them carefully.
1. Flaming - Flaming is not allowed in any forum. Treat the others as you'd want to be treated.
2. Racism - Racism as an insult IS NOT okay. A joking comment here and there is alright, but if it gets reported as abuse you will be infracted and possibly Banned.
3. Spamming - Spamming is posting in a topic that has no relation to the discussion. If you want to spam, please post in the Random discussion section. Otherwise, if you find a conversation completely drifting, take it to PMs or create a new topic in the Random discussion section to continue about your antics.
4. Scamming - Scamming is 100% not tolerated. Plain and simple, use one of the middlemen we have provided and you'll be safe. Be sure to complete trades through private message or through the chat bar. We'll use that as proof if anything goes wrong.
5. Multiple Accounts - Multiple accounts are not allowed. There is no reason you should have more than one account. If you have siblings or a friend that will be visiting private message an admin or super mod.
1st Offense: All extra accounts banned, main account receives a warning.
2nd Offense: All accounts banned, main temp banned for 5 days.
3rd Offense: All accounts will be permanently Banned
6. Attacking the Site - Any user found to be attacking the site and or threatening to attack the site will be instantly and permanently banned.
7. Staff impersonation - Do not pretend to be a staff member. This is obviously a threat and will result in permanent ban. Staff are color-coded by Username.
8. Drama - Not allowed unless it's a Roleplay or a Story. If you are having a dramatic situation and would like to talk about it with other members, post it in the Random section. Otherwise, keep it in PMs.
9. Conflict with staff- If you have a personal conflict with a staff member keep it in PMs. If you find a staff member to be abusing their privileges let Zaphod or other admins know immediately.
10. Nudity - No nudity (pictures containing genitalia) or adult content will be allowed. Either Keep it in PMs or keep it off site.
11. Give credit - Always give credit where credit is due.
12. Privacy - Do not post anything private on other members without consult. If most everyone doesn't know, there is a reason.
Example: Facebook pages, myspace pages, twitter.
- Code:
-
Zaphod - tophatnation@hotmail.com (msn)
All rules are subject to change as well as the disciplinary actions and measures for violating the rules by the staff at any time. If we update the rules we will make sure to inform you.
Get it done and Do it right,
Zaphod
