Forum Rules
Before I get started I have a few things to say. I'm a fairly easy to reason with kind of person and willing to be very lenient with rule violations as much as I can and take care to make sure the staff are the same, but violations of the rules will be taken seriously and will be dealt with in the proper fashion.
Here at Sunken Hyrule, we don't use an infaction system in which forum points are deduced based on the rule violated. We use a warning percentile system ranging from 0 to 100%. When you violate a rule enough times or violate one severely enough, you will receive a warning percent number based on your violation(s) and a PM describing your violation, warning percent number and it's expiration date should it have one. If you warning percentile hits 100% you will be suspended. The 1st time it happens you will be restricted from logging in for 1 day(or 24 hours), the 2nd time: 2 days and so on. All together you will be allowed 700% warning level, which means you can be temporarily banned for up to a week. If you manage to hit 100% after your week suspension has ended, that's when you get permanently banned. Please note that if you manage to break a rule(s) severely enough you may just get immediately banned.
Spamming
Spamming is not allowed. Spamming is annoying and stupid. It will not be tolerated.
Violation consequences:
Most of the time you will be told to stop and your thread locked or possibly removed but if you simply do it too many times or spam severely then a warning level will set based on the number of times or severeness of the violation
Trollin
Though I think trolling is outrageously funny, I can't allow it on this forum. This isn't the place for it so take it else where.
Violation consequences: Based on who, how and when you troll your consequence will vary.
Flaming
Flaming's not cool people cool people. Keep it out of this forum. However I don't mind heated arguments but keep it civil.
You won't be given a warning for flaming. Violations of this rules result in immediate percentile add on based on severeness.
PMs
We obviously can't do anything about things said through PMs until and if it's reported soooo yeah this one's pretty self-exclamatory.
Inappropriate language
I don't believe in censorship so feel free to speak however you wish as long as it's in english.
Thread posting
I have quite a bit to say on this subject so grab a chair and get ready. When discussing this topic with the other Admins, I came right out and said I believe that all members should complete control over their own threads regardless of the posts made and it's popularity. If it becomes a hot thread but gets removed by the creator then someone else can simply remake it. Some agreed with me on this but the nay-sayers simply out voted us, so at that...members will not be allowed control over their own threads once it's replied to. For those of you agree with my view on thread control, don't fret, I intend to bring forth this vote again once there are more members on staff.
Video and picture posting
I don't mind any attachments as long as they aren't pornographic.
Yeah I know, some of you might be saying "what about no censorship", well, I would allow porn and hentai and what not but those files tend to contain viruses and other things harmful to the forum so no porn...or hentai. Violations will get you suspened or banned if you've used up your week.
Account Rules
Multiple accounts per person are not allowed. So if you decide to make more than one then try not to get caught because you and all your accounts will be banned.
Rent-a-modding
The only thing you get out of rent-a-modding is faceplams from the actual mods or a message from them telling you to quit doing their jobs. The mods are perfectly capable of doing their jobs, but if you want to help with it then just report to them any violations. Trying make public announcement out of it will just make you look stupid. Beings that I don't really care about rent-a-modding, the staff member that catches it will be allowed to go about it however he or she please. So you may or not get in trouble for it. Should you get in trouble for Rent-a-modding and you feel your consequence was to strict then go to an admin or myself, tell one of use what happened and we'll see if your consequence was necessary, if we also feel that you were treated unfairly then you will be set off the hook and whoever gets on to you will told to ease up a bit.
All members and staff members are to abide by these rules. Your staff status will not give you immunity to any of the above(expect for rent-a-modding, if your on staff). Also those with higher ranks in the staff system are NOT allowed to boss lower ranks around unless they break the rules. I don't mind if you joke around with each other but nothing critical.
All the best,
