This prevents any accusations of "playing favorites" towards members. We have the report center for a reason. It was implemented to increase response time and handle issues more efficiently. Again, you must use the report feature if you have something that you want a mod to look at. As a site: Total Quizzes Taken: 18602 Total Quizzes Failed: 13023 1. No Flaming - This includes attacks on people and/or fighting on the boards. This also includes speaking in such ways that could ignite flame wars between other members. 2. Respect the Moderators/Staff Members - If a Moderator or a Staff Member warns you, it's official. Do not post on the boards or flame the staff member. Doing so will result in suspension from the forums or even a ban, depending on the severity. If you have a problem with your case, contact Customer Support. 3. No Profanity - Profanity is against the rules and will constitute a warning. Some words, such as "hell" can be used in some ways, but not in others. Even still, try not to use such words, for children do access this site as well. 4. Post in the Proper Forum - This means if you are posting that items are for sale in your shop, you post it in the "Trading Post" forum, or if you want to role play, it goes in the "Role Playing" forum. If you do not post in the correct forum, it will most likely be moved to the correct forum. 5. No Spamming - This includes but is not limited to: Player A: Hey, want to buy my Calkub fruit? Player A: Hello?? Is anyone there? You have to wait for someone else to post in between (Player A, Player B, then Player A). 6. Signatures - Signatures must be appropriate. No sexual references and/or profanity is allowed, as with all other parts of the site. You may use 3 lines of text, no more. You are allowed to have more than one image, but you must add the properties of them up before using them. The restrictions are 500px x 150px and 60KB. If you want to use five glitter images/letters to spell your username in your signature, that is ok. Just as long as they, when added together, do not exceed the KB/height/length limits. Also, if you want to use two banners that are under the length limits each, add their height and KB. (Ex: if one banner is 67px in height and 29KB, and the other is 103px in heigth and 10KB; the KB is within limits, but the height adds up to 170px in height, making it too tall for a signature). Blank lines count as line! 7. Controversial Subjects - Do not make posts about politics, religion, homosexuality or any other subjects that may, can, and/or will cause a volatile environment. It will not be permitted at all on Nutrinopets. If you are unsure if your topic is acceptable, don't post it because it probably isn't. 8. Pet Sites - Talk of other pet sites is allowed as long as there is no advertising in any form. Use of images from other pet sites is also prohibited. Advertising your referral link to any pet site will result in immediate banning. It is not allowed to post your username(s) for any petsite. We know there are other pet sites out there; you don't need to inform the site users about them. 9. No Messenger Chat Invites - That goes for AIM, MSN and any other messenger service. Posting chat invites on the forums is illegal and may very well result in your account being instantly banned. The content of these chats has been found to be extremely inappropriate for some of our members, therefore, they are not allowed. 10. Do Not Post Messenger Screen Names - Linked with rule 9, you are not permitted to post screen names to any messenger service. Posting this on the public forums allows anyone with the access to said forums to see your screen name and can lead to unfavorable situations. If you have to send your screen name to someone, you may do so through nMail only. We are not held responsible for anything that is done by the result of your actions. 11. Non-Moderators Moderating - If you see someone breaking a rule, DO NOT make a post about it - that is unneeded spam. Instead, simply report the infringement using the Report Post link. Check your username color. If your username is not Green or Blue on the forums and you don't have an edit button, you are not a Moderator or Staff Member, respectively. Therefore, you are not authorized to post as such. Leave our jobs to us. You will receive a warning. If you continue, your account will be banned. 12. Nutrinopets is NOT a Dating Service - Under no circumstances are you to attempt to get an online "date" with someone on Nutrinopets. You never truly know who a person online is if you've never met them in real life. This will not be permitted at all. You will be banned. 13. Begging - Please do not beg other players for items or NC. They worked for what they have earned and so can you. Begging will result in a warning. 14. Use a readable font color 15. Languages - English only. 16. Quest Help Threads - Quest help threads belong in the Trading Post Forum. Any quest help threads posted anywhere else will be moved into the trading post forum. Reporting a Moderator/Staff Member - If you feel you have been wrongfully accused by a Moderator, send a detailed explanation to the Senior Moderator (twinny) describing your position. Present yourself in an intelligent and respectful manner if you wish to be taken seriously. The Senior Moderator has the final say over disputes with Nutrinopets moderating and should not be questioned or flamed for her decision. However, if you have a complaint about a Staff Member, follow the above guidelines and send the report to the Senior Moderator, and she will bring it to the accused Staff Member's attention and/or to the attention of the Nutrinopets Owner(s). Rules are subject to change. |
