Be Civil not a Team Killer.
This is an English website, all forum posts must be written in English -- Any thread topics or replies were written in a language other than English may be removed without notice. This is mainly because we cannot moderate languages we do not understand.
- No "flaming" or "badgering" -- writing hostile or insulting messages aimed at other users for their views, comments, status as a user on the site, or any other reason. You can disagree with someone's views and still be polite about it.
- No "trolling" -- posting controversial (sometimes off-topic) messages with the intent of baiting other users to reply. Also, please do not feed trolls.
- No "spamming" -- No advertisements, or referral links to other services. We also classify "spam" as short replies (usually fewer than 7 words) which do not contribute to a forum thread in a positive manner. Some forum threads expect short messages (like some forum games), but otherwise short messages are highly discouraged. Do not post for the sake of forum post count. Your posts will be removed if we see you posting unhelpful or non-contributing messages to our site.
- No "necro" behaviour -- posting replies on very old (dead) threads which have not been locked. We only allow "necro" replies in VERY rare circumstances, all other cases will find your reply removed. If you feel strongly enough about posting a reply, please discuss with a Moderator whether to start a new thread of discussion.
- No discussions of software piracy, hacking, illegal material. -- Linking to these activities will not be tolerated.
- Do not post material that is hateful or means towards race, religion, sex, or any other offensive nature. You can debate religion and politics in the WEPR forum, but you can do so WITHOUT being mean or hateful about it.
- Do not post lewd or offensive content or links to lewd or offensive content. Keep everything Safe for Work, and remember that kids visit the website.
- No excessive swearing or language. If you're that angry about something, take a break from the forums for a while, or confront the other user directly instead of in the forums. Also, do not attempt to use any means to bypass our profanity filter, such as misspelling a cuss word, or using punctuation or spaces. We are much more likely to ban users for this behaviour than those who let the profanity filter replace cuss words with *'s instead. Still, excessive swearing can get you in trouble too, so keep it clean.
- No posting of any text which bypasses our profanity filters by purposely misspelling, using letter/symbol substitutions or any other means to bypass our censoring. You will only get one warning for this, then you will be banned from the site.
- Please do not "hijack" a forum thread by changing the subject. If you want to change the subject, please start a new message thread. There is a thread in the Tavern ("This thread is about ...") which is run by a moderator, which we allow sudden subject changes. Otherwise, we expect new subjects to be in a new message thread.
- Do not complain about getting banned, and do not make another account to circumvent a ban. Do not complain about other users being banned, in the forums or on profile pages of other users.
- Do not complain if a moderator removes a message you posted. We trust our moderators, and if they've removed a message, they had a good reason.
- Users who create alternate accounts for multiplayer games are not permitted to post in the forums. No exceptions. Posts will be removed without notice. These alternate accounts are also prohibited from posting comments on game pages or on other user profiles. Please use your main account for this activity.
- Do not post any personal information about you or anyone else. We don't want to know your street address. If you want to post a photo of yourself, please post it in the photo thread in the Tavern.
- Turn off your caps lock, do not use excessive ALL CAPS in your posts.
- Do not copy or plagiarize comments.
- Do not post messages containing images of typed text, especially in an alternate colour. This confuses other members who may think you have some special authority, which is against our Terms and Conditions. It also defeats our search engine, which cannot read your message text.
Images:
You may post pictures without any comment as long as they are on-topic
inappropriate Content:
Insults: No personal insults against another member or moderator.
Obscenity and Gore: No excessive blood, no disembowelment or dismemberment, no inappropriate references to bodily functions or structure, and nothing even remotely pornographic.
Bullying/Threatening: We do not allow this type of behavior in any form, whether it is cyber or in real life.
Discrimination: We will not tolerate any discrimination based on race, gender, nationality, heritage, or religion. This includes but is not limited to language, either clear or masked, or links that:
promote hatred, allude to racial or ethnic slurs, suggest a religion or race or any people group be treated in a negative manner create groups within the community that discriminate against races, religions, nationality, heritage, or other people groups encourage others to single out, shame, or ostracize a member
Discussion of Rule Breaking and/or Punishments:
At no time are you to discuss rule breaking on the forum or any punishments, yours or otherwise. These are to be handled through the proper channels.
Private Information:
Respect the personal privacy of others both on and off the forums. We expect that members will not post any private information about others,.
Based on the severity of the incident, accounts may be punished or suspended using the following protocol:
Warning: A warning is issued for small offenses and there are two types.
Formal Warning: Will add points to a member’s account.
Informal Warning: Does not add points and serves only to provide notice about a specific rule or guideline.This will be done through a forum PM.
Ban: Bans are much more serious and there are two types as well.
Temporary Ban: A short term ban is used when members accumulate too many warning points and typically last 30 days.
Permanent Ban: This is self-explanatory. This is used primarily for spambots, but may also be used for members who continuously disregard the rules and commit an egregious act against the community.
