Main Rules
« Thread Started on Nov 30, 2006, 9:53pm »

This is NOT rules that I made, I got it from another site called NFRP aka Naruto Forum RP, but I'm using it. I deleted some things and added something.

Forum Rules
The Spirit of the Rules.

All members should be treated with the same basic respect that any human being deserves. When considering respect, statistics such as post counts, staff positions or the time spent here are meaningless. Our forum Staff ARE first and foremost members; they should be seen as the board's workers, not as all powerful deities. Everyone should aim to get along with one another, avoid conflict, respect each other, and respect the boards.

The 8 Boardwide Rules.

These rules apply to ALL forums on this forum. Some forums will also have additional rules, which will always be announced in that forum. PM a mod if you are uncertain over any rules.

1. No flaming: Do not seek to insult, deride or lambast other members; even a flame that you mean as a joke will not be accepted, unless it's obvious to all the other users reading your post that it's not intended to attack or offend. If you are flamed, then contact a staff member and they will deal with it - do not retaliate. There are three classifications of flaming; unintended (where you did not even mean to insult the other user), minor (where you insult the other user on the spur of the moment without thinking) and major (where it's clear you are calmly trying to cause maximum distress to someone else).

2. No baiting: Do not treat people in a manner intended to anger or upset them. If you feel you are being baited, then first ask them to stop (NEVER react with a flame). If they continue, then contact a member of staff. A throwaway comment or a small amount of disrespect only turns into a bait when they continue after you ask them to stop. Sometimes a bait can also be a flame; if this is the case, then report it to the mod immediately rather than giving a warning not to do it. Very obvious baits also do not need warnings.

3. No Drama Whoring: You must keep harmful personal stuff OFF the boards. Do NOT seek to maliciously turn opinion within the community against another member, or seek to utterly discredit members you dislike, be it through truths or rumors.

4. No Harassment: If someone asks you to stop contacting them over private messenger, then you must abide by this request, or this is private harassment. Also, if someone asks you to leave a thread that they made, then you should do so.

5. No Flooding : Defined as either posting more than five new threads in the same forum in an one hour period without staff permission, or bumping a load of dead topics which causes the previously active threads to drop off the first page.

6. No trolling or neo-trolling: Trolling means deliberately seeking to cause damage to the community. Neo-trolling is another variant of this whereby you try to cause damage without making it seem like actual trolling (ie: subtle and intelligent trolling). This can include:

1. Maliciously exploiting 'loop holes' in the rules.
2. Seeking to constantly or massively undermine staff.
3. Massively or constantly publicly attacking the forum or how it is run on sites both associated and unassociated with the forum.
4. Privately plotting to cause problems on the forum.
5. Maliciously breaking rules.
9. No hacking, or issuing hack threats: This carries an immediate server ban.
10. Respect the mods: If a mod closes a thread, or tells you to quit doing something, then please listen to them. While what they ask for may not make sense to you, it will make sense to everyone else who want what's best for the forum. If you are unhappy with a mod, then do not make a public protest thread, but PM an admin with the complaint and we will deal with it if necessary. You should have enough respect for mods and the time which they put in to be able to trust their judgment and the job that they do.

7. Roleplaying Threads: Under any circumstances a Roleplayer may not be in no more then two threads at the same time no matter the time difference. A Roleplayer is only Allowed one Training Thread, and one Roleplaying Thread. A Training thread would be Medic Academy, Training by yourself, training with a friend, or anything else that may deal with training. A Roleplay Thread consists of Missions, Regular Conversations, or Traveling. You are not capable of having two training, or two Roleplaying no matter what.

Disaplinary Rules:

Verbal Warning: In a thread if a person grows out of hand, usually a moderator will give out a verbal warning. This is a polite way of stating for those who are out of hand to please move back within topic, to stop baiting, flamining, or anything else that may be considered to be against the rules. Everything must have a sequence order, that means that you can not get or give a Third Warning unless you have had a Warning Two, and a Warning One. That means that if someone has gone against the rules, and continued on that person may face a high warning.

Temporary Banment: Unleashed by only the Admins of the site and only the admins of the site. A banment may only occur by an Admin, but this is incredibly rare. No one else can ban, and if there is a Ban there must or the Admin must state in the disiplinary board stating why they banned. This only lasts one week.

Perma Banment: This is neusense to the max to where the site is just better off without the person. Extremly rare, can only happen after constant and contstant, and constant, and...you get the picutre problems. Can only be enforced by an Admin. Oh yeah, extremly rare again.
