Respect & Consideration for Other Users


* Flaming

Lacking respect for other users (including belittling comments, derogatory words, and the like) are considered to be flaming will result in a 7 day suspension or infraction.

* Staff Deference

Complaints about Staff should be directed to an Administrator's Inbox and are not to be posted. Topics of that nature will be trashed. Staff are to be treated the same as everyone else in the sense that they can be debated with etc, however no complaints are to be posted directly on the forum. If you have an issue with a staff member, PM it directly to me (Alexia), and it will be dealt with accordingly.

* Spamming

Spamming within topics is prohibited. This includes minimal responses (eg. 'lol', an emoticon, or responses that have no obvious thought) and off topic posts.


Consequences & Restrictions


* Bypassing Punishment

Users bypassing their suspension and/or other punishments will have their aforementioned punishment doubled.

* Explanation

Users are permitted to contact an Administrator by use of the PM System (not within a public forum) about their punishment. However, members are more than welcome to directly ask an admin in the main forum about an issue with the website.

* Punishment Finality

All punishments (warns, mod queues, post disabling, suspensions, and bans) are final. Those re-registering after having been banned will be banned once again. Lowering of warning levels is not guaranteed, and is examined cases by case. Users are not to request that staff lower it.
