The rules for the Salem Institute of Witchcraft and Wizardry are enforced by the staff. As we should all be a tight knit group warnings should not need to be dished out however in the case that they are needed you will be given a warning by one of the staff members through a PM. If you proceed to break rules your warn level will be increased. After five warning level increases you will be banned from the site for five days and your character will be suspended for those five days. When you come back your warn level will remain the same. If you do well and do not break anymore rules it will gradually decrease again. If you continue to break rules after you have been banned you will be permanently banned from the site and your character will be expelled. This all sounds evil, but you know us we're not evil, we're just trying to keep the place fun for all with a bit of structure. Now for the rules. 1. - No advertising about your site or message board. If you advertise on these boards your thread will be closed for spamming. 2. - No excessive and constant swearing. Swearing is allowed but for the sake of our sanity which is already in question please don't go overboard with it. 3. - No excessive and "flammable" insulting of the staff or its affiliates. We welcome criticism, but again, be civil about it and keep it to the thread designed for criticism and suggestions. 4. - No porn and no gorey pictures. Do not link to any website with porn or graphic pictures either. If we see a link or a picture of this sort we will immediately ban you for five days without warning. 5. - No sexual solicitations. One warning only...this is it. 6. - This is an odd rule since it leaves much to interpretation, but if too much completely senseless posting is done just for the heck of posting you will either be warned or your post count will be penalized. We embrace silliness, but only if it remains silly and not juvenile. 7. - Role playing and writing does not come naturally for all. If someone does wind up on this board who is not familiar with role playing or has horrible grammar that makes their posts hard to read do not flame them and do not criticize them. Give them a chance and if possible try to help them. 8. - Please don't spam. We define spam as, "posting the same threads repetitively and/or making posts that do not have a decent length (At least two decent sentences)." Examples of posts that are not accepted would be things like, "She walked into the room." "He drank the milk in silence." Used with other sentences these two sentences are perfectly fine. However, used by themselves they are not. 9. - Don't create threads or posts with the sole aim of insulting a subject or to generally cause trouble. That's called 'trolling' and we don't condone it. 10. - Please keep your signature at a reasonable length, if it looks big at a 1024 resolution, then it's too big. If we feel your signature is too large, an admin or mod will PM you asking you to shorten it. 11. - Forum staff are solely responsible for rule enforcement on our forums. If you are not one of the staff, please refrain from yelling at another user for violating a rule. If you are that concerned, please notify a staff member. 12. - Please post (mature) in the title if the thread is going to have mature aspects to it. We do allow mature situations but we would like for threads containing them to be labeled properly. If you do not know whether or not the thread will contain mature situations until later into the thread please PM one of the staff and we will change the title for you. However, to reiterate rule 4, do not post links to pornography in any thread. 13. -Refrain from posts containing anything so much as an implication of rape, incest, or bestiality. We do not condone these things in real life and we will not condone them here. 14. -Please keep your characters 'In Character'. We are a role play forum, and 'IC' comments are a must. 'Out of Character' or 'OOC' comments breaks the flow. PMs are encouraged for 'OOC'. 15. -Godmodding other players characters is not allowed. Godmodding is defined as controlling other characters with in a thread doing things they haven't done. Mentioning other characters and their interactions with you are permissible. The only case where Godmodding is allowed is if you have permission from the character's handler. As always we reserve the right to make any amendments to these rules as we, the staff, see fit.
