We want TCOTF to be a fun, friendly and safe site for all members at all times. Therefore, we have set down these rules, and they are to be followed at all times.
1) No Spamming. I hate it so much when people spam because they are 'bored' or some other retarded reason. And I mean don't spam ANYWHERE. Just to clarify what spam is it's when you post something like this [sahdbewfhiwrf] or say the same word or post the same smiley more then once in a row. Spamming is also when you post information that is completely irrelevant to what everyone is talking about. Ex: Person 1: Hey what's up? Person 2: Nothing much, have you read the new warrior book? Person 3: FISH! FISH FISH!. Person 3 would be spamming. I understand that sometimes the cbox skips up and you may accidentally post more than once, and that is okay, as long as you didn't do it intentionally.
1st Offense: 3 day ban
2nd Offense: 2 week ban and loss of any high spots
3rd Offense: Permanent ban
2) Keep language PG-13. The only permitted cuss words are damn, crap, pissed and hell [if you consider it a cuss] As you can see, we give you a fair amount of chances to change your language problems.
1st Offense: 50% Warning
2nd Offense: 90% Warning
3rd Offense: 3 Day Ban
4th Offense: 2 week Ban
5th Offense: Permanent Ban
3) No posting links to inappropriate sites or posting inappropriate pictures. This includes, but is not limited to, pornography, pictures or sites that contain things not appropriate for people under the age of 18, sites with beer, or drug advertisements. We're not taking any crap about this, you get a permanent ban on your first offense, and will lose any high spots you may have.
4) No rebelling against the Administrators, Co. Administrators or any other authority on this site. What we say goes. If you don't like it, quit. If we ban someone and you make polls or threads protesting the ban, YOU will be banned. This is one big thing I will never tolerate. We are the admins, don't disrespect us.
1st Offense: 2 week ban
2nd Offense: Permanent Ban
5) No Harassment. Ever. Do not make fun of or say mean things to other members, especially to their faces. If anyone is caught making fun of members, or annoying them, or saying offensive things to them, they will get a 50% warning, or worse depending on the severity of the offense.
1st Offense: 50% Warning
2nd Offense: 3 day ban and loss of all high spots
3rd Offense: 2 week ban
4th Offense: Permanent Ban
6) Obey the Copyright for this site. Any member caught violating the copyright will receive:
1st Offense: Verbal Warning, and an order to remove the copyrighted information from the site.
2nd Offense [or if they refuse to remove it]: 3 day ban and loss of all high spots. 3rd Offense: Permanent Ban
Any non-members caught violating the copyright will be asked to remove the copied material. If they refuse, they will be reported to the Proboards Administration, which in most cases will result in the deletion of their forum.
7) You may NOT smite and administrator of any status [not including moderators] for any reason. They work here and it is there job to enforce the rules, and they in no way shape or form deserve to be smited. I can see who exalted and smited who by checking with the Security Log, that only I have access to. If any administrator notices they have be smote, they must PM me immediately with the number of Warrior
Points that they are missing. I will then take the following actions after returning the lost Points.
1st offense: Deduction of 5 Warrior Points [even if your points go negative] from the member who smote the admin.
2nd offense: 30% Warning, loss of 5 Warrior Points
3rd offense: 3 day ban and 50% warning, Loss of 5 Warrior Points
4th offense: 75% ban, loss of all high spots, Loss of 5 Warrior Points
5th offense: Permanent ban
8) No Chain Posts! You may not post a message and ask someone to post it again, exactly the same on the board. It makes the forum look trashy, and it's technically spamming.
1st Offense: Deduction of 2 Warrior Points [Even if they go negative]
2nd Offense: 5% warning
3rd Offense: Will be dealt with accordingly.
9) NO DRAMA. TCOTF is supposed to be an environment where people can come and relax, or perhaps get away from the stressful lives they lead which will most likely include school and drama. If you have a problem feel free to rant about it in a PM to a close friend, but if it gets all over the site that 'there is a big fight between these members', or 'this person from my school is getting on here and spamming it up' YOU will be the one at fault. Yes, I understand that there are some circumstances where people who are not really interested in joining and just want to come here to bother one or two members who they know in RL and run acrossed the site by themselves. However, if YOU gave them the link, then YOU started the drama. I hate drama, and so do most normal people. This is a peaceful RP take it elsewhere. DO NOT INVITE PEOPLE WHO YOU ARE UNSURE WILL USE THIS SITE FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE.
Thank you : )
Warnings in profiles will be given for drama related issues.
