I doubt that I will find a soul out there that loves to adhere to any set of rules but as the internet does not belong to any one person, I do ask that we all remain considerate to the following guidelines. They are more to keep everyone happy and to keep things running smoothly than they are to tie anyone down. If there are any complaints or objections, you are hereby encouraged to drop a line.<br>- Amaya Sumiko.
Infinite Anime Realm's General Forum Guidelines and Rules.
A. Conduct/ Behavior.
1. Bigotry.
Religious or political arguments, racial slurs, and other offensive commentary are prohibited and will NOT be tolerated. Users are expected to cease this behavior upon one request.
a. This may be under Moderator's discretion : If found to be purely humorous and if no one is offended, consequences MAY not be dealt.
b. Any threads found to contain too much of this content are likely to be deleted.<br><br>c. Any users found to persistently engage in this sort of behavior will recieve four warnings. If the user persists, they may find that their account has been deleted.
2. Sexual RP Threads.
Users are encouraged to keep sexually based RPs private.Many of the patrons of the Infinite Anime Realm forum are under the age of eighteen. With that in mind, if any user insists on including sexual content in a public RP thread, they are expected to keep said content at a PG-13 level.Explicit content [ e.g. public cybering ] is prohibited in the forum.
a. Any threads found to contain too much of this content are likely to be deleted.
b. Any users found to persistently engage in this sort of behavior will recieve four warnings. If the user persists, they may find that their account has been deleted.
3. Spamming.
While it seems difficult to Spam a forum, it is still possible. Users are expected to be careful as to how many of the same post they post on the forum. Multiple identical posts are subject to automatic deleting, with of course one exempt from said action.
4. Multiple Characters.
Users are expected to behave in a reasonable manner when it comes to their characters. It is not a moderators job to intervene in personal affairs. However, the act of anyone using multiple accounts without letting any Mods know will not be tolerated. Reasons for this : After certain incidents in the pasts, the Mods understand the hassle that inevitably comes from this devious behavior. Therefore, users are expected to provide information concering themselves and their connection to each account. Any user discovered to have not complied with this request will recieve two warnings. If the behavior persists, their accounts will be deleted one by one until the user finally complies or is out of accounts.
5. Technicalities.
Users are asked to keep threads in the appropriate sections of the forum. In the event that a user cannot find something they've posted, they are hereby asked to please search the other areas of the forum before assuming their posts have been deleted.
6. The Blame Game.
Users are expected to understand that the expressed opinions of any patrons do not reflect the opinions of the moderators, administrators, or IAR staff. Moderators will do their best to keep the forum running both cleanly and smoothly.
