Article 6: Ownership Issues and Trademark of the CREATUREWRESTLING™ name:

The CW respectfully owns the domain name: "CreatureWresting.com" and the concept behind it.

If sites try and publish a domain name that contains "creaturewrestling" in the address- we will pursue legal action. We will also pursue any sites that falsely claims they are a part of the CW by the name Creature Wrestling of any sort.

The cost of the domain name is paid by the owner of the CW willingly. Anyone can promote the domain name, site or boards etc. There are banners available as an option.

CREATUREWRESTLING™ is trademarked. The name was created in 1999 and has been in use ever since that date by the owner of this web site and company.

The officials ranks are voluntary and used to identify themselves within a story line/wrestling staff, and hold no corporate control over the company: except for the CW owner.



Article 7: CREATUREWRESTLING™ Ownership and Player's Copyright Rights:

Ownership should be understood that the CW web site and concept behind the E-Fed is owned by its founder. The brands used by the E-feds are also a part of the company and is thus owned by the company.

Each player/team helper owns his/her story line/character/angle and accomplishments in the game play. CW does not claim ownership over player story line/character(s)/angles or original imagery or media that they created. However, when a player posts their contents on any CW boards or other forms of published content we created, the player's post(s) and it's contents become public domain. CW owns the right to have your contents published/posted or not. CW also has the right to tell you what you can and cannot publish on any resource we use and own.

Players may make web site(s) to host their bios/have forums to discuss information pertaining to their creations/and alternative online environments, but players may not steal CW graphics, web site contents or concepts that are exclusive to the CW.


Article 8: About E-Feds that emulate the CW:

  1. CW is an independent E-Fed game site. In addition, CW respectfully recognizes itself as the originator, owner and founder of "Creature Wrestling." All copyrights are active and will be enforced to the best of our abilities.
  2. E-feds that spams our boards, or bring in their titles that were not okayed by the company will be immediately removed.
  3. The CW will press charges against any organization that use our original creations. That includes: stories, flash, images or other forms of original visuals that was created by CW. Content that came from stock images, videos, publications and content that may have a copyright on it used for the boards by players are outside our control. For these materials, CW does not claim any copyright over and will remove this content if the content infringes.
  4. Any emulated E-feds that was created by former CW players in order to do harm to our roster, game play and/or reputation will be immediately ignored and regarded as E-Feds ripping off CW material. Any form of in-game timeline and any chance at an affiliation with our E-Fed will also be disregarded.
  5. Slanderous postings done on other boards about CW; E-Feds affecting CW members with inappropriate conduct, wrongful email letters to hinder the CW's growth and provoked personal attacks are issues that we won't tolerate or harbor.
  6. CW Players however that are on the roster will be monitored if they also play on E-Feds that are in the business to personally attack this E-Fed. However as much as they try, this isn't television and in no way they have any leverage on our organization.
  7. CW's in-game timeline and official matches only exists on it's official message boards and no where else on the internet.
  8. Our system is regarded as unique and original- this does not mean that being an official (past or present) gives you the right to copy or use the game system or claim founder ship/ownership. Any E-feds copying our system is regarded lowly and shameful. CW will also not have affiliation with places that shameful disrespects this organization as well.

Article 9: Personal Attacks and Acts of Malice including "Suing":

Letter from the CW Owner:

"Even though the CW E-Fed is a wondrous place, there comes a time when a disgruntled player or fan believes that they can attack the E-Fed and produce outrageous claims.

These made-up rights are exactly that- made up.

The ability to view a site from your browser does not allow one to own that site even if you purchase the internet provider's service to view it. The only way a web site could be sued is if 1) that site is a commercial site and you have purchased a product from it. 2) if that site has copyright infringed a work of art that isn't within public domain. A work of art is legitimate if the imagery has been created and documented officially. Literature on the internet, and even imagery, are at the risk of the owner(s). The CW understands that we have to use found images to properly display and represent the wrestlers and environment we are producing. However, we do everything in our power to create original graphics. And we are constantly striving to produce a web site that is 100% free of found images. If we infringe by using an imagery or music we are not suppose to, we will remove it immediately.

CW makes it very clear that when you use our resources to produce your stories or expressions- you do so with the understanding and agreeance that you hold no rights over what happens to it on the boards.

CW is a non-commercial site, a fan site and most importantly- it's a FREE site. No tender of any kind was exchanged or valued. The only exception is the use of advertising affiliates such as Adsense by Google.com to supply our advertising budget.

Any false claims or threats will be ignored and brought to the attention of their service provider if they persist."

CW knows the proper use of copyrights and can distinguish between true claims and false claims.


Article 10: Freedom of Speech

We reserve the right to publish anything that we so desire within the realm of our own game rules. Only authorized players will be allowed to publish articles and columns of any topic and purpose with the direction of the CW owner. The CW owner has the final say-so for anything that gets published.

Becoming a player on the CW does not give you the right to do whatever you want. The CW does not serve you nor do we have to answer for our own actions. By joining the roster- and even entering the site- you agree to all the game rules and copyrights in the CW. You have the option to leave if you don't like them.

Multiple account/characters are granted upon approval by the staff and/or granted to players whom have developed trust and performance. Furthermore, a player cannot create another account/character to push one of their other characters in title matches/pushes.

4. Disruptive Posting Behavior: Users are expected to refrain from "trolling" threads and post with some level of maturity. Trolling posts include the following actions with the purpose of causing a disturbance in the community:

Spamming - Repeatedly posting a large amount of low content posts or threads.

11. Harassment
Harassing another user is prohibited. However, the nature of harassment is very fluid and it is up to the moderators' discretion on whether or not a remark is considered harassment. Flames, rants, and insults will generally not be considered harassment. If another user is following you around on the forums to constantly insult you, this may be considered harassment. If this is the case, discuss it with the harasser over PM or email before contacting a moderator about it. Posting images of users in a harassing fashion is prohibited. Keep in mind that moderators have the final say on the distinction between harassment and normal sass.

------------------------------------
Failure to abide by the previous rules will lead to a warning or a banning of access to the web site Both are issued depending on the severity of the matter at hand that is determined by the moderator that is moderating that particular case at that particular time. If the breach of this code of conduct is severe enough, a user may be banned without any prior notice.

Moderators have final say in any and all matters.

CW may add to, change or remove any part of the Code of Conduct at any time, without notice.

All in all, CW is a free community that is for the users. You can interact with thousands of other posters at any given time, with a plethora of topics to discuss. Remember that this forum is  all in good fun and that there are many different types of people who enjoy these services. While you may not agree with them on all stances, together as a whole can we interact and have a great time. Overall, the CW Administrator may at anytime for any reason choose the appropriate penalty to you if you violate, disrupt the game play and/or provide a reason to suspect you for providing false information. The levels of penalties are commonly:

1. Warning: This is usually when a player has done something in the game or out of game that violated our rules/code of conduct but the moderator has decided to warn you instead. If you have been given a warning you are expected to improve and obey the warning. Warnings are covered with the 3-strike rule (see below). Moderators do not have to give out warnings depending on the severity of the violation and can move straight to any of the levels of penalties below:

2. Suspension: A player will be placed on suspension if you are found in violation of our rules. Once under suspension you are temporary unable to post and to interact with the e-fed and it's roster. There is typically a timeframe that you must wait until the suspension is over with. While under suspension, your behavior is evaluated and checked. Further discipline will apply if necessary.

3. Perma-Suspended: This means that a player has been officially suspended and can never re-sign to the CW. If at such a time a player wishes to re-sign to CW the only way that can be accomplished would be to undisputedly prove that a player has changed it's ways and have shown drastic improvements in both behavior, maturity and team work.

4. Banned: If a player is banned, then you will not be able to re-sign to the CW. Entering/interacting with CW and/or it's players will be considered as trespassing.

5. Perma-Banned: This is the same as banned but your IP Address is also blocked. If you are perma-banned and enter CW you are trespassing. You can never re-sign to CW if you were perma-banned or allowed to view the web site/message board.
