Rule Number 1 - No Spam; Spam may not seem like a serious offense to you, but when it gets to an excess, it becomes annoying. Spam is a difficult word to define, but we all know the torture's and difficulties produced by it - so I don't want to see it nesting within this site, thank you.
Rule Number 2 - No Abusing Members; There is a fine line between a comical joke, and seriously insulting someone. I do not wish for this line to be crossed at any point. You got a problem with someone? Take it to the arena. The other guy sending you abusive threats over PM? Send anthrax letters to his house. Whatever. Just keep it OFF of the site.
Rule Number 3 - Forcing beleifs; This is a site that features members from all around the globe, and also features as it's RP element a host of different cultures and religions. I do not wish for people to slander another religion because they "do not like it" or "do not believe in it". Everyone has a right to an opinion on this site - unless, of course, that opinion is intended to cause trouble. Unwanted arguements creates unwanted spam. Unwanted spam creates deleted members.
Rule Number 4 - Be Realistic; This site is intended as being based off of actual history. Because of this, the site is realistic in a sense of what you can do. You wanna wear heavy armour? Be my guest - but suffer from lack of agility. You wanna jump out of a window to freedom? Go for it - but suffer the consequences of a fractured bone. Because of this, no-one is the illusive immortal known as god. Everyone of us can die, and at some point, everyone of us will die. Accept it.
Rule Number 5 - Swearing; I am no stranger to the immature delights of colloquialisms, and how they can beautifully describe a persons emotions. However, due to their intended nature to "insult", swearing has been limited to only minor allowances. Your basic curse word can be available from your own dirty mind, but the more rotten and vile spawn of your imagination can and will earn you a warning. Heed this advice.
Rule Number 6 - No Offensive Material; Those whom have been a member of the internet society will already know how easy it is to access "offensive material" when browsing the likes of Google ™. Thus I wish for none of this "offensive material" to be posted within these site walls. That includes as avatars, signature images, or links to such material.
Rule Number 7 - Listen to the Staff; Exactly what it says on the tin. What a member of staff states, goes. There will be NO arguments about a given decision. If one feels a decision has been unjust, then report it to Cao Pi and Zhen Ji, and they will investigate the case further. Until then, these people are your superior's, and you will obey them.
Rule Number 8 - Follow the Rules; Simple really. I don't care about loopholes, sneaky little ways to avoid getting a warning, and "accidental" breaking of the rules. If the proof is there, you shall be punished. Deal with it.
Should you have any queries at all with these rules, feel free to PM myself, or a fellow admin. They will be glad to aid you.
