Global Rules (Forum and In-Game)
- COPPA
- - Due to the Children's Online Privacy Protection act, anyone under the age of thirteen may not join our forums or play on our server. This law is in place to keep you safe. Caught underaged on our forums or server will result in a ban until of legal age to partake in our server and forums.
>>Punishment: Ban until of age. If someone under aged was playing on an of age player's account, they will still be banned until the the under aged member is of age. - ProBoards TOS
- - Abide by the ProBoards Terms of Service. It's essential in making sure that our forum isn't shut down. The staff will do their best to make sure that you abide by the ProBoards Terms of Service.
>>Punishment: IP Ban - RESPECT
- - Respect should be something that one has from the get-go and can only lose and regain. So respect everyone; from the newest members to the highest ranking staff member.
>>Punishment: Warning, if continued two day - Year ban depending on offense. - PROFANITY
- - UpTuned allows for mild use of vuglar language; or in other words, cuss/curse words. By mild we mean don't over-do it. In addition we expect you not to cuss out other members or staff members, as that would be a violation of rule number three, RESPECT.
>>Punishment: Warning, if continued a kick in-game or a week long ban on forum. - NO IMPERSONATION
- - Be your own person. No one likes someone who goes around pretending to be someone they're not. This includes pretending to be someone on the staff team. By misleading users into thinking you're a moderator or administrator, they may report issues to you and not actual staff, then those issues will go unsolved.
- - Do no impersonate any member of the Impressive Title community in general.
>>Punishment: IP Ban - STAFF
- - The staff are here to help and guide you. From bug errors to rule breakers. Consider us the maintenance of this project. With that said we expect you not to go acting like a staff member or getting involved in staff business. Also, do not mini-moderate. This is to act as a moderator without outright claiming to be one.
>>Punishment: Warning. - BAN EVASION
- - Ban evasion is defined as being banned and then changing your IP using a proxy/VPN (or if you have a dynamic IP and taking advantage of that) to get around a ban placed on your account by the staff. - SENSITIVE MATERIAL
- - Avoiding discussion sensitive material such as religion or politics.
- - As obvious as this should be, do not give death threats to any members. Even as a joke, or if someone is being as annoying as possible or breaking the rules. Doing so will result in a kick, if continued a ban.
>>Punishment: Warning, kick from game, or week - month long ban depending on offense. If you happened to give a death threat, you will be IP banned. - SPAM
- - Please keep posting/actions to a minimum. If someone tells you to stop spamming, do so.
>>Punishment: Warning, kick in game, week long ban if continued.
In-Game Rules - LANGUAGE
- -Please only speak English in local and general chats.
>>Punishment: Kick - NO FILE MANIPULATION
- - This should come off as obvious, but if it doesn't, this rule is in place to ensure the security of our server and forums. Do not edit the file material for malicious purpose or hack the client files using your own or third party programs.
- - - Retexturing files to make modifications (here in on out referred to as "mods") for your own use or fellow member use is fine. If you desire to simple recolor a texture, make sure you have the proper permission from the original texture artist to do so.
>>Punishment: IP Ban - TRADING
- -When trading with someone you don't know, make sure to record it. If you do not record it, we will not help you. If you catch someone in the act of stealing on video, put it up on YouTube or another video hosting site and send it to one us. We will then replace your item. Note: if you are caught stealing, it will result in getting your items deleted. Or more preferably, if a staff member is around, ask them to watch your trade. Please do not be shy around us! We would be more than happy to monitor your trade.
>>Punishment: Removal of items, kick, or week long ban. - MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS AND CHARACTER LIMIT
- -Only two accounts per person.
- - You can have as many characters as you want, just as long as they are real characters. By that I mean if you made a sparkly, technicolor character called "FSJEFHSJD XDDD" for example, delete it. Don't waste our space.
>>Punishment: A month long ban for one extra account, a month is added for every extra account as well as removal of extra accounts. Joke characters: Removal of character, as well as stash. A week long ban if continued.
Forum Rules - DOUBLE POSTING
- - You may only double post to bump a thread.
>>Punishment: Warning - IMAGES
- - Put images on posts/threads in spoilers.Like this, spoiler code is [ spoiler ] [ /spoiler ] without the spaces.
- - Please only put one image in your signature, you may put more if they are under 500x500 pixels. Max is 5. Do not exceed 500x500 pixels.
>>Punishment: Warning, removal of signature.
