The Forum Rules

[Psyckosama]

REPORTING BAD BEHAVIOR

If you see someone misbehaving, find a post that shows a good example of it and click the "Report Post" button on the upper right corner of the post. Enter a brief description of what you're reporting.

DO NOT use PMs, the "Contact Us" email link, or any other method. Always report the post, because the mods' software keeps track of that.

RULES

This site is supposed to have a certain kind of atmosphere, like a gaming group. A bunch of friends gathered around a table to share something we enjoy, and like any gaming group, if you're a jerk you'll be told to leave.

1. Be civil
Being civil is different from "nice". You don't have to like someone, you don't have to say "please" and "thank you", and you can joke around as long as you're not malicious. But you can't insult people. Don't flame them, treat them with contempt, or behave in an intentionally offensive manner. In essence, don't be an asshole.

And do remember, the moderational staff is here for a reason. They started it is not an excuse.

2. No Porn
Pornography is prohibited. To clarify this, this means blatant sexual content. Prehistoric girls didn't always wear shirts, so mild nudity is acceptable as long as its on topic and not intended to arouse. As there is a Role-playing space on this forum, sexual situations may arise as it is a basic part of human nature. A good rule of thumb is to fade to black if things start to get 'interesting'. And remember, if all else fails, it never hurts to ask.

3. No Piracy.
Media piracy is strictly prohibited.

4. Use Common Sense.
If you think something isn't listed and might be a bad idea, then it probably is. Use your judgement and if all else fails, ask.

5. No Spam
This is not a forum for selling your Penile Growth Pills. No spamming or Else.

PUNISHMENT AND APPEALS

There are three forms of punishment on the forum. The first is a warning. If you break the rules, you'll be warned and told not to do it again.

If you ignore the warnings of the staff, you be temporally banned as a punishment.

If you continuously ignore the staff or behave in a manner that makes it clear to all you are not willing to abide by the rules of the forum, you will be perma-banned.

All bans and punishments will be publicly announced and explained. Bans and punishments can be contested and criticism of moderational decisions is perfectly acceptable. This isn't a dictatorship, believe it or not and we can be reasoned with.

You can appeal a punishment by PMing a mod about it. Include a link to the thread and post number.

Bans can be also appealed to the administrator using the "Contact Us" link at the bottom right of the page, so you do not need to be logged in.
