[glow=blue,2,300]The Factionwar.com Board Rules[/glow]
- Note that these board rules are subject to change without notice and are only guidelines for our posters and moderators. We may dispense judgement as we see fit. Be it by a moderators personal judgement that your being a cock or that a rule has been missed out here which is obviously something you shouldnt be doing.
- Personal "RL" attacks are fair play unless used too much. "RL" attacks mean any text/post that is blatantly attacking another person off the forum, about RL meet pictures that make them look fugly or other things, especially in a personal way that has nothing to do with their character or Ultima Online. A moderators own judgement gauges when your being too much of an ass about it and so takes action.
- Trolling is tolerated here. Trolling is whenever someone is clearly, deliberately posting in a manner for the purpose of angering and/or insulting the other people on the board or in an argument. Trolling encourages further discussion at times, but it also encourages personal attacks - so troll too much and you'll be slapped around on Seabrooks face like the cock you are.
- Private Messages received on these Forums are to be considered private and are not to be posted publicly unless the sender of the private message explicitly agrees to it. This includes private mesages received on these boards or in any other way. (ICQ, Emails, MSN, IRC etc)
- Posters are not allowed to post messages containing personal phone numbers or addresses. However mockery numbers like 01633 FUFUFU are quite fashionable nowadays, and are allowed. This rule includes signatures, avatars, links and references to people who would give the information, as well as your actual post. This may or may not exclude Ian Brooks.
- Bans and warnings are not to be discussed on the Forums. Any inquiries or comments on bans are to be taken to a moderator or the site Administrator. A moderator may choose to publicly inform the Forum about bans and warnings if this is in the interest of the Forum. Also, any other complaints about Moderators should either be made to the moderator, or to the forums Administator (Count Zero, Cookie being the next best thing). If any of us say "I cannot help thee with that" then please go to the GM-Review site that you would for an in-game Game-Master and recommend they hire us.
- Posting of pornography, and other posts that contain racist or otherwise discriminating remarks, extreme offensive language, material that breaks any law or otherwise totally unacceptable posts or links to pages that contain such material may result in an unquestioned ban from these forums, because a moderator deems you a soggy teabag who's not giving anyone any laughs.
- We reserve the right to remove any and all content that does not meet our commendably and shard-wide renownedly highly wootagely high discussion standards. Factionwar.com moderators make the final determination about whether content is fit for posting or not. Serious or multiple offenses will result in removal of posting rights.
- Posting of exploits, details of exploits, hints about exploits, are not tolerated, and will result in warnings/bans. (keep in mind that there is a difference between a bug and an exploit, discussions about bugs is mostly fine, and information about how to PREVENT exploits or bugs is very much so approved of).
- Keep your signatures to an acceptable size. Signatures which are tacky, extremely big and/or extremely large can and will be removed without notice.
- Excessive spamming is not wanted and will be deleted/removed, with warnings to the spammers - sp0m however is a different matter, and is healthy in reasonable amounts.
- If you disagree with these rules, tough titties sir.
