Hi All,
Due to being only a fan forum, and users coming into a familiar environment, I'd like to continue the smallworlds forum rules, but may deduct or introduce new rules. And Of course, disciplinary action will be taken if anyone disobeys these rules.
The following actions and content are NOT allowed on the SmallWorlds Forums:
Do not perform these actions against any player on the forums:
-Do not perform the following actions against a player:
-Make personal attacks, insults, harassment or name-calling.
-Violate another player’s privacy by discussing actions in Game or in real life.
-This includes trying to locate an individual who may have disappeared from the game for personal/or other reasons.
- Sharing Your or others personal information such as; Emails, addresses, phone numbers, etc.
- Post images or avatar names without their permission
- Using vulgar Language, Even using asterisks to cover certain letters of words is against the rules.
Do not violate General Forums Guidelines by doing the following actions::
-Create multiple posts or threads on the same topic in order to gain attention to an issue.
-Create a personal ad seeking another individual for companionship.
-Post personal messages to another player, we have in game email for that purpose.
-Create a post to advise you are leaving the game. Tell your friends privately as the forums are not to be used as a personal message center.
-Post a private debate with another person or group. Please resolve this issue outside of the public forums.
-Use the forums to create your position to debate an issue within game, such as polls, petitions, etc. that can be handled by other means, such as contacting Smallworlds Support or Smallboards staff.
-Post with the intent of stirring up trouble or inciting disruption.
-Make posts that are irrelevant to the thread you are posting in or create threads that are irrelevant to the topic of the forum you are posting in.
-Post links to cheats, exploits, or websites that can be harmful to players.
-Use Forums Signatures - this includes unnecessary text following a forums post that is repeated after each post you create. Also, IMAGES THAT CONTAIN YOUR NAME, LINKED NAME and/or OTHER GRAPHIC (or oversized images) used at the end of your forums posts
-Bump/reply to threads that are old without adding additional content or commentary about the topic.
-Post obscene or sexual images or language (acceptable images are those that you would see in a teen magazine, like Seventeen).
-Post or create a thread containing a topic that would not be suitable for discussion in a classroom of teenage students- including but not limited to suicide, murder, rape, abuse, violence, crime.
-Post by the same person using multiple accounts
-Posting a thread/post to seek donations of items/tokens/gold for your space and/or avatar's needs.
-Reveal confidential information relating to SmallWorlds/Smallboards business, policy, or operations.
Do not abuse the Moderation Process by:
-Re-posting material that has been locked or moved by the forum staff.
-Posting using an alternate avatar when your account has been banned.
-Making posts about forum moderation. If you have a concern about how an action was handled by a moderator, provide all your details to the support area.
-Speculating over or publicizing the identity of the private avatars of players and/or SmallBoard team members. Please respect player and team member privacy.
Ensuring you follow these rules, your account will be good standing and hopefully be very active on the forums.
If you have any questions about the guidelines, please make a thread in the support section.
Thank you,
