Forum Rules

[Minoc]

Yeah, I revived a 10 month old thread, but it was for a good reason.

To save a few counters, go to: http://forums.graalonline.com/forums...ad.php?t=56899



1) Do not make threads to bash a playerworld. If you have a problem you wish to report please contact a member of the Playerworld Administration. If you have a problem that can be sorted out locally (jails, scams, some bans etc... please contact a staff member on the playerworld first)

Bashing is wrong, however, in some cases, discussions would be more helpful to see both sides much more clearly. Do you recall the Graal2000 thread?


2) Do not post private history.

Lycia is banned thanks to private history, isn't she?
Private history is often useful.


3) You are not permitted to discuss illegal activities such as game piracy on the board.

Why is it illegal to discuss whether certain activities should be legal or illegal?


4) If you are banned, the ban applies to you specifically - not merely your account. If you return to the board with a new account, it is considered evasion of your ban - regardless of how much time has passed since the original banning. If you obtain special permission to post from a high admin, you must make the moderators aware of this by contacting a supermod before you register your account. If you do not, your account may still be banned.

Wouldn't it be more logical and easier to let him\her register a new account and pm you?
Besides, that rule should only be applied on extreme cases.


5) Furthermore, you are not permitted to post messages on the behalf of non-members.

I believe that should depend on the case, as long as it isn't constantly.


6) Accounts that take the form 'Admin-Playerworldxxx' or other local staff accounts (staff accounts rae defined as accounts which only work on the server its name contains, for example: Graal2001_FAQ) are not to be used on the message board. These exist purely for administration of the relevant playerworld. Upgrading them yourself (a bad idea anyway) does not remove this restriction.

A few players have had their staff accounts upgraded BEFORE that rule existed, they should obviously be able to post.


7) Discussions of bans are not permissible. If you have a question about a ban or would like to make an appeal, contact the relevant administrator by Forum PM (Private Message) or by e-mail.

Same as #1.
