I don’t think this is clear among the ACP public. Our chatroom is not a place where you can get on and act like you’re in your own personal perverted world. We have rules. They must be followed. But since certain people don’t get the picture, I’ll have to detail every single rule.
No Bad Language – This means do not say anything that would be deemed inappropriate. This includes general curse words, racial slurs, homophobic language, and sexual language. If someone says a basic curse word, kick them first. If they repeat the offense, you may ban them for 1 hour. If they have been banned for this repeatedly, you may increase the length of the punishment. Anything else (f-word, racist comments, homophobic slurs, and sexual language) is a ban the first time – no warnings. These can be for any amount of time determined by the banner.
This is the main problem. We are trying to create a good example for new ACP soldiers. Acting perverted and constantly breaking rules will not help.
No Advertising (Spamming) – Do not come on chat and spam links to your site or chat, unless it is for a specific purpose, such as a meeting. If you want to give someone a link, do it in pc. Also, there is no spamming of inappropriate links (porn, inappropriate pictures/videos, etc.). Spamming a link is a kick only offense, unless it is repeated despite the warning. Then the punishment can be either a ban or being made a guest. Porn links, etc. will result in a 6 hour to Forever ban with no warning required.
Spamming and advertising are wrong. Everyone hates spam. Please, don’t do it.
No Flooding (Being annoying) – This includes no talking in CAPS. The only exception is if a leader needs to give an order in a battle situation. This also includes typing random letters or smilies repeatedly. The punishment is kick only.
Self Explained.
No Politics or Religion– This usually results in arguments, so stay away from it. It is not punishable unless it begins to make people angry, but it is suggested that it be stayed away from as much as possible. If the situation begins to escalate, the punishment is a kick, however, if the problem becomes a full argument, those participating are to be banned for 1 Hour.
No religion or politics at all. They only lead to arguments on the chat.
No Helping Enemies – Soldiers of enemy armies are not permitted on chat during war time. During war time, Martial Law can be declared, in which case, enemy soldiers are to be made guests and then banned.
I don’t think anybody has a problem with this.
No Asking to Be a Moderator/Owner – This is a verbal warning first, followed by a kick if it persists.
It will get you nowhere.
Follow Orders – If a superior (usually a leader) gives you a direct order, you must carry it out.
PLEASE follow orders. If a superior tells you to stop doing something, you stop doing it: no exceptions.
No Personal Pics/Info – Please do not post pictures of yourself on main chat, because not everyone wants to know what you look like. Likewise, do not post your personal information (hometown, address, phone number, cell number, email, etc.) on main chat
I don’t know why anyone would do this.
No Bribes – Do not promise anyone that they can be a mod for doing something or for giving you xats and days. No exceptions.
Mostly applys to owners.
Do Not Do Anything You Know or Feel is Wrong – This can be pretty much anything. If you think it is wrong to do, chances are it probably is.
If it’s perverted, it’s a wrong thing to say.
Do Not PC the Owners – This is not something that will be punished, but I need to say something about it because it is becoming an issue. Part of the reason I do not come on chat as much as I used to is because I am almost always updating something on the site, and pc usually only delay me getting work done, so I try to avoid the chat when I need to do something important. I have no problem with being on chat and doing work at the same time, but in order for this to happen, I need some peace.
Self-explained.
We have these rules to make a good example of ourselves.
Please follow these rules. Obey them and you will be fine. Disobey and you will suffer dearly.
