Primary and Secondary Rules
of SSA & EO Forum
PRIMARY RULES
Primary rules are the hard lines that cannot be broken in any manner. If any of the primary rules are broken, the members involved will receive an automatic strike.
01. No OOC (Out of Character/Real Life) Insults
A simple rule, but be mindful of it. If it is broken twice then you are subject to being banned. This applies to both forum members as well as staff. Everyone deserves equal respect, so please give the respect you would like to receive.
02. STAFF HAS THE FINAL SAY
Arguing with the staff about their decision will result in a warning, and continuing such arguments will result in another strike. Strikes lead to being kicked banned from the site and banned from the faction in game.
03. No IC/OOC Crossing
In its most simple definition, this means no being offended about what a character has done and trying to discredit the player, or taking what a player has done and trying to discredit the character. OOC information cannot be taken into IC situations, and vise-versa. If you have a problem with another member inform one of the staff and they will be more than happy to help mediate and try to resolve the problem peacefully.
04. Limited Powerplaying
If you are weak in-game then your character should not be powerful here on the forum. If you want to be a strong being in roleplay, then remember to play the STO game, and grow stronger there first.
05. Keep the Peace
Harassment is illegal and will not be tolerated. Trolling or flaming, coming to the forum and posting in threads with the intentions of inciting a problem or causing an argument will also not be tolerated. This is a peaceful place and belligerent individuals are not welcome. Punishment will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
SECONDARY RULES
Primary rules are not as strict as the primary rules, but they are still rules that should not be broken. Each time you break a secondary rule you receive a half strike. You only have three strikes until you are banned, so it is best option to check with a staff member if you think you are breaking or may break a rule.
01. Post in the Correct Areas
In-character posts should go in the correct in-character section. In-game questions should go in the Game OOC board. Off Topic subjects should go in the Off Topic section, so on and so forth. If necessary threads will be moved to their proper area (or deleted) by a staff member, and though warnings are rarely given for such an offense, it is possible.
02. Limit Signature Size (max 250 pixels high and 600 pixels wide)
Please remember your signature is not a photo gallery or a lyrics board; it is merely a way for people to recognize your posts. each line of texts or empty space is equivalent to 10 pixels of height. Each time you increase the size of the text it also increases the height of your signature by another 10 pixels (example: 2 is the default size for text, so if you increase the text size to 3 your text is now 20 pixels high).
03. Non-Playable Characters
You are allowed to have Non-Playable Characters (NPCs). They are not, however, allowed to be sired. NPCs may not have their own separate account unless you make them a separate IGN, and make the NPC an entirely separate character.
04. No Spamming
You don't like spam email or telemarketers calling your house; do not spam here. PMing links to other forums or websites repeatedly to members who have expressed no desire to know the link, or to post a link more than once is spamming. The staff will allow one (1) link per website in the Off Topic board, but if there are repeats the post will be deleted and you will receive a warning for each link that was posted/PMed after the original post. You cannot put your posted link in your signature or personal text, so links leading directly to other forums or websites within your signature or personal text also breaks the spamming rule.
