Here are all the rules to the forum. I've split them into categories, since there are the basic rules to any forum and the ones we have concerning the role play boards and the like. If you ever have a question about these rules or the site please feel free to drop me or another staff member a line!
Basic Rules:
. No overly sexual or pornographic images.
. No overly gory or otherwise disturbing or disgusting images.
. No spamming or advertising in the forums or cbox.
. No flamewars. If you have a problem with another member deal with it privately through PM. If the issue cannot be resolved, contact a staff member.
. Do not post anything that is racially, sexually or otherwise discriminative in nature.
. No bumping up old threads without a valid contribution to bring it back to life.
. Keep your signatures at a decent size. If it stretches the board too much you will be asked to shorten it.
. Do not post illegal content (warez, game mods, torrents, etc.)
. No ban-dodging (making another account after you are banned); this results in a Permaban.
. The admins of the site reserve the right to reconstruct the rules as needed to ensure that the forum remains a fun and active place for everyone.
. Do not actively argue with the admins. If you want to contest a decision made by a moderator you may contact an administrator. The administrators make the final decision however and we ask that you respect any decisions made.
Role Playing Rules:
. Before posting anything in the In Character forums you MUST have a character sheet filled out and approved of by a staff member.
. Only 1 character per account. This way you can have your display name changed to that character's name. (This will not change your log-in details)
. No applications for cannon characters will be accepted.
. You can not be or be related to any of the AC characters. (IE, long lost Auditore's need not apply.)
. No god-moding.
. No pornographic or explicit material.
. Use proper grammar structure and proper sentences in your posts.
. Please refrain from one or two sentence posts. Make full paragraphs.
. Stay within the confines of the AC: Brotherhood universe in terms of clothing, inventions, etc.
. Absolutely NO PLAGIARISM. As artists and writers alike, the staff here will not tolerate members stealing from others.
. Murder or the killing of a character is ONLY allowed when the creator of the character gives permission for the character to be killed off. There are no other restrictions as to how the character can die, but permission needs to be involved. Maiming is allowed, but any serious, life changing injuries (IE loss of a body part) must also be approved.
Posting Rules:
1. Threads should be relevant to the section they belong to.
2. Don't make duplicate threads; contribute to an existing one.
3. Please avoid double posting.
4. No posting of shock links.
5. No blatant advertising (posting with the intention of diverting members to another site).
6. Do not post in other people's character sheet registration. You should only be writing your own. It's not your place to be commenting on anyone's sheet without the person asking for assistance.
Offenses:
While we're all pretty chill here, here is the break down of punishments for rule breaking.
Final Additions
These rules will be enforced by the administration and moderators of the forum and apply to all members.
As already stated, we're a pretty lax bunch. While we don't want to have to take authoritative measures, we will as needed to make sure the community stays strong and enjoyable.

Offenses:
While we're all pretty chill here, here is the break down of punishments for rule breaking.
Minor: For first-time and most minor offenses, you will be warned and directed to this page. Excessive repeats of minor offenses could result in a temporary or permanent ban, based on the severity.
Major: For more major offenses (repeated rule breaking, harassment, repeated arguing with the admins, etc.) you may be suspended/banned at the moderator's discretion.
Serious: For serious offenses (posting pornographic content, ban-dodging, defiance against previous reprimands, etc.) you may be permanently banned at the discretion of the administration.

These rules will be enforced by the administration and moderators of the forum and apply to all members.
