Like participating in our roleplaying world, we are also very conscientious of how our members and guests behave while being a part of our community. We have established a very simple and straightforward list of rules to follow not only while in the roleplaying section, but the forum as a whole:
-No flaming, trolling, or spamming. Be respectful to other members and staff, unfair treatment toward others will get you in trouble, and repeated offenses will only make the punishment worse.
-No excessive cursing. Some foul language is allowed, but streams of swear words are frowned upon, and swearing at other members intentionally is forbidden.
-Use proper grammar. No extensive use of leet speak or other cryptic languages are allowed here. While basic terms like 'lol' or 'wtf' are fine, anyone 7yP!n6 1!3k 7h!$ constantly will have that language removed and will recieve a warning.
-Any hacking, or threats of hacking will result in permanent removal from the forum, no warnings, no exceptions. We take member privacy and the safety of their accounts very seriously. Any attempts or threats to hack someone's account, staff, member or otherwise, will be immediately banned, and reported to proboards with evidence of such.
- Keep it appropriate: While this forum used to allow mature content, naive as I was before I was informed of Proboards' policies, that is no longer allowed here. We are a forum that supports PG-13 content at the highest; this includes some foul language, violence, and mild adult THEMES. If you want to add suggestive comments or acts in a thread, fine. But anything borderline pornographic or NSFW is strictly forbidden. If you want your characters to participate in anything like that, members must take it somewhere that the public eye cannot see. I do not know if Proboards allows that in PM chats, but I'd rather not take the risk. So please use chat systems like skype or your own private Discord chats, away from the forum server chat.
- Use your better judgement: We cannot make a rule for every single situation, as there will be many different ones that will be brought to light, and we cannot be available to maintain everything 14/7. So if you think that something you may say or do in our out of character won't be appropriate, or might be against any rules previously set, then it's probably best to avoid posting it altogether. If you're still not sure or think it could go either way, then ask a staff member for advice. We will inform members of any transgressions that they must correct, or remove, and depending on the severity, or frequency of such, may result in a warning, or disciplinary action up to and including permanent banishment from the forum. So please, be respectful, and use common sense.

Great to see this place still pluggin' along. I just wanted to pop in and say I'm getting rid of our affiliate system so you can feel free to take down our aff banner. Take care!
