To make
our forum clean and informative, the Administration made some rules
which comes with leveled punishments if ever violated on some degree. Level 4 Offenses Off-topic
posts- Every topic has its own section for a reason, and we would like
to help foster the habit of posting in the right topic and on topic. All-caps/Excessive
punctuation marks and icons - Posting in ALL CAPS is just like shouting,
and using excessive punctuation marks!!!!! will not only clutter your
post, but will also make others not be able to grasp your point
properly. Try posting properly, applying and observing good punctuation
and syntax. Keep it brief, succinct and straight to the point. Excessive Bumping
of threads - Although it is allowed to bump your posts to raise your
topic from the ground, doing this too many times a day will not only
unnecessarily lengthen your thread, but will also be tantamount
to spamming. Try to bump your thread once a day. ;D Signature violations
- Lets face it -- everyone wants to show off their skills with making
signatures. However, let us be consistent and considerate of our fellow
forumers who do not have a fast net connection. Keep it within the
prescribed dimensions: 350x150px (including text captions),and
500x200px (for full text signatures) and a 50kb filesize limit. Posting
HUGE photos, videos or files - In relation to the rule regarding
signatures,this is also a must: Post pictures in thumbnails as much as
possible.Or better yet, use the spoiler tags. Spamming/Posting Non-sense
posts - We all know that the more posts a thread has, the longer it
takes for it to load. By making nonsense posts and useless replies (such
as one-liner comments that do not help in the development of the topic)
wont help the topic. Petition posts-
Some policies, decision, items, and patches are there for a
reason.Also, please remember that decisions made for each game are done
with your best interest in mind; so making petitions for these issues
will not help us in making better solutions for our games. Posting Helpdesk-related
concerns- If you need assistance with regards to your account PM admin
or post it on the question and concern section failure to comply will
result of for fieting the said request Level 3 Offenses Flooding -This is similar to Spamming, only that he/she has posted the same content in the same thread successively. Posting
about locked or deleted threads/Moderator decisions in public -
Questioning moderator decisions in public will not only aggravate the
situation need lessly, but will only cause further bickering amongst the
community. Deliberately posting
incomprehensible content. - We all know that this is the internet, and
that all people from different cultures and languages may view your
post. So try to make your post understandable and comprehensible by
other people. If you do plan on posting content that isnt generally
understandable, post a translation or notes that will help us in reading
your post properly. Level 2 Offenses
Obscene
orVulgar posts - Posting these will not only aggravate people who
wish for a peaceful forums, but will also offend those who are children
orminors in the forum. Unofficial
use of GM names/ prefix in your account - Please be reminded that
using this prefix will always make others think that you are a Game
Master.To avoid this misconception, try not to use this in your display
names.If found, your name will be edited and account sanctioned,
depending on the gravity of the situation. Inappropriate names (eg. names with cursing words, etc.) - As with the obscene and vulgar posts rule, it applies to names, too. Antagonism(deliberate
hate posts without an acceptable basis) - Making posts like these will
only disrupt our community and will cause an unnecessary commotion; so
try avoiding making these topics. If you do have concerns, kindly PM any
GM --they will be more than happy to be aware of your concern. Harassment
or Defamatory posts/topics of any kind toward any member - In
accordance to our goals to keep a peaceful and orderly environment,
posting these kind of topics will not only inconvenience that member,
but will also affect the community as well. And please do consider that
this kind of offense is libelous, too. Flaming/Flame baiting-
In making argumentative posts, it is better to stick to the topic and to
the issue at hand. Trying to insult your opponent in this will not help
the topic, and will cause unnecessary confrontation and posts.Also,
posting content or replies that will bait players into flaming you is
equally destructive, too. Distribution
of real-life information without permission from the owner. - We
value account security and privacy. Try avoiding these kinds of topics. Level 1 Offenses Impersonating unknown player, member, Moderator, Game Master, or EnigmaRan Staffs -
No matter the reason, impersonation of any player/representative of EnigmaRan prohibited. Trolling -
By definition, trolls are accounts created for the sole reason
to flame/cause disruption to a community. These accounts are
permanently banned; and, with an investigation, the main account as well. Evading suspensions
and bans - These sanctions are there for a reason, and by evading bans
(creating new accounts/dummy accounts) will defeat that purpose. By
doing so will also include your main account. Misinformation-When
making posts/topics with sensitive information or with asensitive
topic, make sure you do with proper and verifiable sources.Remember
that the difference between fact and opinion counts as well.False
claims will be dealt with accordingly. Threats to
any member, Moderator, Game master or EnigmaRan Staffs - If you have a
concern that needs immediate attention, contact us via PM. Making
threats in making demands will not help you or your concern, either. Improper sexual/racial/ethnic
or violent posts - These will cause a misunderstanding between the
community and the involved party; as such,these kind of topics is
strictly prohibited. Posting
or advocacy of cheats, third party programs, illegal trading, etc. -
We value proper and fair gaming. With this, advocacy of such cheats
and hacks are not allowed --no matter what the reason. Commercial advertising
of any form or kind - Our forums is a community for discussions; posting
any advertisement of any kind will not help us in any way. Exploiting loopholes
in rules. - The rules are there for a reason, and by exploiting
loopholes in rules will not help the community in any way. Gambling of
any form or kind. - By keeping the forum free from any form of gambling,
we help foster the value of hard work and dedication in our members. Plagiarism -
We know that we would like to help each other with making guides,
and there are many of us who goes through the painful process of
making one. Copy-pasting guides from other forums will not help either,
as this is stealing from them. Even with a disclaimer or that you
have asked for permission from the author, make sure to secure a
screen shot of the PM/message allowing you to post them here. Refer to
our Guides Policy for more details.
Rebellion - As with exploiting loopholes, this is worse --this involves other people in violating the rules.
