The rules for the Nine Kingdoms are enforced by moderators, who moderate specific boards, and by administrators, who moderate all the message boards. For rule breaking you will be given a warning by either a moderator or an administrator 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 from the site. This all sounds evil, but we're not evil, we're just trying to keep the place fun for all with a bit of structure. I know, I know structure is not something we are fans of however structure is needed in all places. Now for the rules.


** Loosely defined--remains in admin's hands to decide when something is too much.

1. - No advertising about your site or message board. If you want to advertise something, contact an administrator and request permission, otherwise 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 of 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.

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 then you will 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.

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. (try for no larger than 500X200)

11. - Forum moderators and administrators are solely responsible for rule enforcement on our forums. If you are not an admin or mod, please refrain from yelling at another user for violating a rule. If you are that concerned, please notify a mod or admin.

12. - NC-17 material is not permitted on this site at all. Mature topics (R rated) are permitted, however must be labeled in the topic title. If you anticipate any M rated material please label the topic as such; even if the first post does not contain any M rated material.

13. - All threads are considered open to any character that wishes to join unless noted with (private) in the title. Please, if you join an in progress thread, read it in it's entirety before entering.

14. - No OOC posting - if you wish to speak out of character to someone please PM them.

15. - Refrain from posts containing anything so much as an implication of overly sensitive material. If delicate to some please be cautious and write equally as delicate around the material. ** (Feel free to contact admin to see how to approach a more sensitive subject)

As always we reserve the right to make any amendments to these rules as we see fit.

Please don't hesitate to contact an Admin or Mod if you have any questions.
