# Rules
|
|
|
|
## Global Rules
|
|
All of these rules are in effect on any place on the site unless explicitly stated otherwise.
|
|
|
|
1. **Spamming/flooding is not allowed unless otherwise stated.**
|
|
One-off jokes are fine, don't overdo it.
|
|
|
|
1. **Be decent towards each other.**
|
|
Respect is not a given but that does not make for an excuse for baseless antagonisation.
|
|
|
|
1. **If you have a problem with someone, point it out.**
|
|
Don't be passive aggressive.
|
|
|
|
1. **NSFW content is disallowed unless otherwise stated.**
|
|
This includes anything sexually suggestive.
|
|
|
|
1. **Content considered illegal in the United States and/or the Netherlands is never allowed.**
|
|
The server is hosted in the Netherlands and the majority user base is in the United States.
|
|
There will never be exceptions to this.
|
|
|
|
1. **Users may only have a single account.**
|
|
Flashii provides a number of services where having multiple accounts could grant unfair advantages.
|
|
Exceptions may be granted for bot accounts.
|
|
|
|
1. **Keep political discussions to an absolute minimum.**
|
|
There is a time and place for it, but Flashii is intended to be a footloose and fancy-free community.
|
|
Moderator intervention will be used for petty shouting matches.
|
|
|
|
1. **You must be at least 18 years of age on the Gregorian calendar.**
|
|
When validating this a staff member will always ask this in a direct message, never in public channels.
|
|
|
|
1. **Link shorteners are not allowed.**
|
|
Harmless links will result in a warning, malicious links will result in a ban.
|
|
|
|
1. **Self promotion is not allowed.**
|
|
You CAN show off your creations, however blatant advertising _not relevant to a conversation/channel topic_ is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
## Forum Rules
|
|
1. **Defacing posts is not allowed.**
|
|
If you blank one of your posts, it will be restored and you will be warned.
|
|
If you have a legitimate reason for this, talk to a staff member.
|
|
|
|
1. **Abusing post formatting tools is not allowed.**
|
|
This includes using a persistent font colour as an "avatar", but excludes making a flashy opening post to your topic.
|
|
|
|
## Chat Rules
|
|
1. **Persistent typing quirks are not allowed.**
|
|
This applies where Global Rule 1 applies.
|
|
|
|
1. **Try to keep topics to their own channels**
|
|
If a lengthy discussion shifts to a topic that has its own channel, try to move the discussion to that channel. Action will be taken only for repeated, flagrant offences.
|
|
|
|
## Game Service Rules
|
|
1. **Play fairly.**
|
|
Do not use exploits to gain unfair advantages.
|
|
|
|
## What happens if I break rules?
|
|
Major offenses will result in a ban.
|
|
Minor offenses will result in warnings; however, after five warnings you will be banned.
|
|
A warning is retained for ninety (90) days.
|
|
Depending on moderator discretion, you may be banned prior to five warnings, and this warning threshold may change at any time.
|
|
Permanent bans are reserved for serious or blatantly repetitious violations, and will be issued by administrators.
