General  |  In Character

These rules apply to both rooms, and are essentially good conduct guides. We’d like to be able to do without them, as they generally equate to good manners and common sense, but an appalling number of people seem to lack these traits and will complain if there is no forewarning that yes, these are real people you are talking to, and yes, they get irritated at stupid antics just as much as people do in real life.

Respect

This is perhaps the most important rule in this place. Some say that 'respect is earned' but you wouldn't be too popular if you swore at and insulted everyone you met, would you? The same goes for this room. We ask that you respect these rules, the operators, and most of all, your fellow patrons. The rules are here to be followed. Not to be picked at, or be made into loopholes. We're not lawyers, we can't write all inclusive rules which handle everything thrown at them. What we do have are people who are willing to uphold these written rules; that don’t mean they've memorized every word on these pages, it means they understand them. We allow swearing, debates, arguments, and the like in the OOC room, but if someone, operator or not, asks you to stop because you're offending them, do so.

This isn't a license  to constantly complain to the ops about how soandso teases you occasionally.  If we squashed out everything that bothered people, we're be a pretty boring chatroom.  And if you've visited the OOC room during peak hours, you'd know this rule is really only applicable to people who really go over the top.

Spamming

A permanent ban will be given to any spammer that decides to flood either room. This includes repeated posts and advertisements. We don't mind if you want to let people know where you are on the net, we do mind if that's all you want to do while your here. If the first thing you post when you come in is a link, you're well on your way to a boot out.

Bots/scripts

As a general rule, we don’t allow any bots in either room. Our definition of a bot is a script in your IRC client that will respond to events and post messages in the room or in private messages. A script that modifies your own text before sending it out is alright, like a colour script, is okay, a script that messages anyone who comes in with a ‘hello’ is not.

Using Copy written Material

Want to change your name to Gandalf and make a few jokes in the OOC? Fine. But do not even THINK about bringing a character that is not your own IC. Aside from the copyright issues, we expect you to be a bit more creative with your characters, especially since we have an extensive Character Creation section to get you started.

Although not technically copyright to anyone, this rule includes well known historical figures and literary characters who have fallen out of copyright. No Napoleons here, no Ophelias either.
