--[glow=violet,2,300]F O R U M F A Q[/glow]--
Q: What is the Karma function?
A: The karma function a user to be 'exalted' or 'smited'. Exalting someone is basically like giving them kudos or 'good points'. This will be used to reward good posts. And as one would guess, to 'Smite' is to take away good points. Punishment for minor offences.
Q: I've been banned! Why did this happen?
A: You evidently broke the forum rules. Breaking the rules once by accident will not get you banned, but consecutively breaking rules will lead to your expulsion from the boards. If you come back with another account (Salng: Dupe) you will be perma-banned. This means Admins will ban your ISP adress preventing you from coming back.
Q: I don't think i deserve to be banned. What can i do?
A: If you truly believe your wrong doing was an accident, you can appeal your case by sending an e-mail to us explaining how you feel your banning was not justified. BUT do not spam 'angry' letters to the staff as we will simply delete them and perma-ban you. Manners are a virtue when trying to appeal your case.
Q: Uhh... I've forgotten my password.
A: E-mail the staff and ask to have the password changed. We will change it to a random word (or set of numbers) and send you it via e-mail. Then you can manually change it to your own liking.
Note: Forgetting your password once is fine, but subsequently requiring a new password is ridiculous and we won't help you.
Q: Why do my posts get edited/deleted? I didn't do it...
A: The staff will amend posts under the following circumstances:
- Spelling errors that we felt the need to fix.
- The posts was in correct in relation to the rest of the RP/A character was used in an out of character manner or without permission.
- The content was deemed unsuitable/offensive.
- Nonsensical posts will also be deteled. E.G if one types in '1337' or "LyKe DiZs". (You would also get a belt across the jaw if i knew you in real life)
Q: I'm being bullied/harrassed by another member. How do i deal with this?
A: Report the member to an Admin. Ignore all further posts/messages from this person and wait until an Admin deals with them.
Bullying includes: persistent name calling, discrimination, threats and racial abuse.
Harrassment can be: Someone constantly spaming you with messages advertising something, asking for your Msn/AIM/Yahoo! etc.
Sexual harrassment can be: someone making sexually explicit comments to you against your will, asking for 'pics' or spreading explicit rumours about you.
