Spamming - Spamming only ruins the experience for others. Members of Staff are free to decide what is deemed as spam.

Grave Digging - You are not permitted to comment on old topics that haven't been replied to for a long time. This counts as spam and is not welcome at Ice darkness.

I will post here some explanation to somethings that might be not understood.

some people might ask what is SPAM, or maybe you know, but what does it stand for?[/u]


[b]SPAM = Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages, or anything that is off topic.

Moderator's Job: To inform he has spammed, and give him the right punishment he deserves. If MANY spams has occurred from different players or users, this will result as the topic might getting LOCKED
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Also, i would like to explain, What is Flaming?

I don't think everyone knows, if u do then that's great! if you don't i will tell you know what it means.

Flaming = Flaming is like, if someone has SPAM or broken any of the rules and has been told he has broken the rules, then YOU or anyone else say that he has also broken the rule.


Example:

Thread Maker Player: SPAM SPAM SPAM

Player #1: This is SPAM and you are breaking the rules, you should be warned.

Player #2: Yeah, that's spamming dude.... you are breaking the rules. <---------- THIS player WILL BE WARNED for flaming. Also if there was a player #3 or more then he will also get warned too.

Moderator's Job: To Lock the topic.

Deleting the topic is less preferred, so the player himself or other players would know why he is "Warned, "Moderated or "Muted" (banned as well.) It is still up to the Moderator/Administrator.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


What is "Racial Slurs"?

Racial Slurs: They are offensive words, that offense someone according to their race, or their color etc.

Example:

Black people on the streets, which we call them "Negro" or "****" or "Blackie" etc. THIS IS NOT ALOUD IN FORUMS. THIS IS ALSO NOT ALOUD IN AMERICA OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY. We respect everyone as one.

Moderator's Job: To give the right punishment to the offender (they DO NOT have to lock the topic, if it was only one posts of the many posts.)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


What is Pornographic Material?

Pornographic Material: It is anything that is INAPPROPRIATE in pictures, such as inappropriate pictures of humans. It also comes from the word "Porn"

Moderator's Job: Topic MUST be removed, OR the picture is removed itself, and the player is given the right offense, and topic is locked. At any case, THE PICTURE MUST BE REMOVED.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


What are Warez/Pirated Software?

Warez/Pirated Software: They are downloads or software's that contain viruses or spy ware to harm your computer.

Moderator's Job: As the same as pornographic pictures, topic either removed or link removed and locked.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What is Illegal Content?

Illegal Content: It is anything offensive, or anything inappropriate that is posted.

Moderator's Job: This depends on what is the Illegal Content, the only thing that any Illegal Content as posted, is that the user is punished with the right punishment deserved.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I hope that explains some of the rules that might be confusing or not knowing.

This topic was made to explain some of the things that MAYBE any user does not know or understand.

So, now you know everything, so we will not tolerate anyone who says they did not know what the rule/rules meant or did not understand.

Good Luck! and please abide the rules.
