Here are the board rules for your reference--


Disclaimer
While the administrators and moderators of this forum will attempt to remove or edit any generally objectionable material as quickly as possible, it is impossible to review every message. Therefore you acknowledge that all posts made to these forums express the views and opinions of the author and not the administrators, moderators or webmaster (except for posts by these people) and hence will not be held liable.

Rules

  1. Harassment and Illegal Activities
    You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions.

  2. Enforcement
    You agree that the webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit. As a user you agree to any information you have entered above being stored in a database. While this information will not be disclosed to any third party without your consent the webmaster, administrator and moderators cannot be held responsible for any hacking attempt that may lead to the data being compromised.

  3. Decorum
    Being a part of a community requires a person to act in a mature, logical manner. For this reason, members who do not show any effort to act in a rational, sane, and "human" manner will be banned. This community does not have the resources to "correct" socially maladaptive behavior, and will not go out if its way to accommodate those who lack the ability to act human.

    1. Personal attacks against another member (even when done behind their back) is included within expectations of decorum.

    2. Trying to access content that is not public is considered a breach of decorum.

    3. Posting back to back (double / triple posting) is frowned upon. Just edit your last post if you have anything to add if nobody else has made a post after your last one.


  4. Images
    Avatar size is limited to 200 pixels in height x 150 pixels in width, and signature images is limited to a maximum of three images which should not exceed 300 pixels in height, and 700 pixels in width. Violators will be penalized by 10 soldiers/pixel that goes beyond the allowable tolerance.

  5. Rated "R"
    This forum follows COPPA, but the policy is that we don't allow those under age 13 to enter this forum. This is because this forum would be rated "R" for allowed content. This means discussions of excessive violence, overtly sexual discussions, or discussions on drug-use is still disallowed. However, we would still wish to keep the forum relatively clean, so the blatantly R-rated discussion must take place within the "Leona's Tavern" forum found within the "Personal Details & Photos" forum. Discussion that goes into R-rated stuff will be moved my moderators into the "Leona's Tavern" forum.

  6. Member Modding
    "Member modding" is when a non-moderator acts like a moderator, and attempts to enforce rules and modify member behavior. This is not allowed at suikox.com. If any member is found trying to enforce rules, or forcefully modifying member conduct, they will receive penalties accordingly.

  7. Hotlinking
    Hotlinking (also called bandwidth theft) is discouraged here at suikox.com. Hotlinking is where you link your avatar or signature image to a URL that does not belong to you, or has given consent for you to use the images. Suikox would generally tolerate those who hotlink to other sites (mainly because it is difficult to verify), but if a complaint is received from the URL host, your avatar privileges will be disabled until you get a legitimately hosted avatar.

    For more information on hotlinking, please view this thread

  8. Advertisements
    Any form of advertisement that promotes products and services are strictly forbidden at suikox.com. Advertisements for sites that are not-for-profit (such as fansites) are allowed, but only within the "Advertisements & Fun Links" forum. Violators will be warned and repeat offenders will be banned.

  9. Multiple Memberships
    You are not allowed to have more than one account on this board unless you are an administrator, or a member who is not participating in the "Nation System." This is against the rule because people with multiple accounts in different nations can spy on each other, causing the whole concept to fail. If a person is discovered with more than one account, there will be harsh punishments--including the possibility of both accounts being wiped.

  10. Fan Fiction
    The writing of fan fiction or any other sort of personal writing is not allowed in the common areas of the board. Fanfics and other sort of creative writing can be allowed in nation forums as long as respective nation leaders allow them.


  11. Plagiarism & Self-Plagiarism
    Copying written works created by other people and claiming it as your own is not allowed. When doing so, you must ALWAYS use the quote tags. This is also because you will be generating wordcount (and potch) through the hard labor of others. This also leads to the situation of self-plagiarism; you are not allowed to copy/paste your own work in another forum within Suikox unless you use the quote tags. This is also because you will be unfairly generating wordcount and potch.

  12. Religious and Political Advertising
    Although this site is about Suikoden, religious and political discussion is encouraged. However, promotion or advertisement of any single religion or political idea/faction (or any of their institutions) is strictly forbidden.

  13. Deceptive Behavior and Lying to Admins & Moderators
    This most often refers to the nation battle system, but those who conduct the following acts will be either removed from their position, banned from their nation, or banned from the board if they:

    1. Attempt to leak sensitive information to enemy nations knowingly.
    2. Attempt to leak sensitive information about an ally to the enemy of an ally.
    3. Lying to an admin or a moderator about activities concerning the nation battle system.
    4. Having one or more alternate accounts to "spy" on other nations.
    5. Willfully accepting information referring to clauses a) or b).
    6. Willfully disseminating lies, fictional information about your nation to allies and enemies.


  14. Petition Against Moderator Action
    If you believe that you have been a target of wrongful moderation, please contact your own nation's moderator or nation leader first. Contacting an administrator will get no response. If you have no nation, please contact any moderator.

Please confine discussions about rules to this thread.
