Rules; Those boring things that you usually avoid.

Let's get a few things straight, first:
  • I don't make the rules; you do. If something becomes a problem, a rule will be added for it. So if you don't want rules, don't make them.
  • Little occasional slip-ups are expected. However, repeated breaking of an existing rule will be punished severely.
  • You are expected to know the rules. I don't take the "Well, I didn't know that!" excuse. The rules are posted very plainly for every user to see. So if you break it, you take the consequences for it.
  • Common sense is a requirement to be a part of this forum. You have a brain, use it.
  • You need to read every single rule thoroughly.


So! Now that we have that out of the way... how about we get on with the actual rules that you are expected to know and follow?

Flaming

... Will not be tolerated under any circumstances. There will be no name-calling or childish behavior. Every Seriahn is expected to act with dignity and honour. If you have a quarrel with a member, talk with the member and try to work it out. If you can't work it out, take it to a higher authority; there are plenty of mods and admins willing to help you solve your differences.

Flamebaiting

... Will also not be tolerated. For those who are unaware, flamebaiting is name or accusing another individual with the appearance of or intent to create an argument. Deliberately posting a message or series of messages with the intent to anger another individual is also considered flamebaiting. Posting improper remarks about a discussion or debate elsewhere within the reaches of the Seriahn Company will be treating as flamebaiting as well.

Spam

There are two levels of Spam here:

  • Stage 1 Spam :: Lesser spam such as "I like pie" threads fall under Stage 1 Spam. While Stage 1 Spam is not an immediately bannable offense, multiple infractions of this rule will eventually result in a ban, whether it be temporary or permanent.
  • Stage 2 Spam :: Anything that doesn't fall under Stage 1 Spam falls under Stage 2 Spam. Stage 2 Spam is an immediate permanent ban.


Multi-Accounts

Multiple Accounts are not banned, but they are not recommended either. For starters, there is nothing to gain by having multiple accounts; trading between accounts is monitered and limited/banned if one account is getting too many benefits from another. Second, it's just more information to watch over.

Grammar & Punctuation

Proper Grammar and punctuation is required to participate at this community. Occasional "chat speak" is allowed, but "l33t speak" is not tolerated at all. If you wish to participate in the roleplay portion of this community, you must write using proper grammar and punctuation, and your roleplay posts must show that you are putting effort into them. It doesn't require much to earn the right to roleplay - just filling how the Roleplay Member Exam - but you can lose the right and there will be a period of time in which you cannot re-apply.
