Basic Forum Rules
[/b][/size]~*{ Overall Conduct }*~
- Respect Everyone ~ From staff, to regular members, to guests; everyone must be treated with respect. Flame wars (through thread or PM), and excessive arguing will not be tolerated. We are all people here, and no one wants to deal with this sort of drama. Why be on a forum if all you’re going to do is be rude?
- PG-13 Forum ~ This board is rated PG-14 for fantasy violence and some mild language. The occasional, and tame curse word is allowed, however, anything stronger is not allowed or tolerated. Please try to keep within these bounds. This means no excessive gore, no blatant nudity, no long profane cursing, and no sexual activities. Such things as kissing, cuddling, and implying sexual acts is permitted but no description of the act. There are younger members here, and we want to keep this open and friendly to everyone.
- Staff Member Request ~ If a staff member asks you to do something, please do it. You may not see the reason, but there is a perfectly good reason for anything the staff may ask. It will make things better for everyone if you comply with the request, so please do it without arguing. If you would like to know the reason as to the request, feel free to PM that certain staff member.
- C-Box and Advertising ~ The c-box is provided to members of the forum to chat with other members for fun. Please keep insults, cursing, and degrading comments out of the C-Box. Also do not spam the C-Box. Other members have things to say too, so do not use up all of the space. There is to be absolutely no advertising in the C-Box. There is a specific board for advertising that can be posted in even for guests of the forum, so advertise there. As a note, ANY ADVERTISING IN THE C-BOX WILL LEAD TO AN IP BAN. You have been warned.
- Infringement of Rules ~ Any infringement of the rules at Shi Rekkoku will be dealt with by the staff members. A rule breaker will receive two warnings about his or her actions before being banned for a temporary amount of time. Three strikes rule. Each infringement will be dealt with accordingly and more serious rule breaking can incur multiple strikes, even to where one action will result in a ban.
~*{ Accounts and Registration }*~[/b]
- When Registering ~ Please use a name that you will remember and be sure to have a password that is secure to prevent any account tampering. Also, there is to be only ONE account per person. Some people enjoy having an account for each character, but that inflates our member count and creates confusion as to who is what person. Only one account is needed. You can use your display name to reflect your “main” character and if you so desire you may use your signature area to list the rest of your characters. Any person found with multiple accounts will be notified, and the duplicate(s) deleted.
- No Spamming ~ Spam is defined as short, pointless, annoying messages. This includes posts with only links. If an account is found spamming, the account holder will be warned. If the action continues, the account will be banned.
- Raise Your Hand! ~ This forum WILL have activity checks every two months. The staff will send out a PM to every member asking about their activity on the forum. If a response is made to the staff member, than the account will not be deleted. If the staff members do not receive a response from the account within two weeks, the account will be temporarily banned. After a month, the account will be deleted.
