» CW Code of Conduct:

1. On the message board, everyone will treat each other with respect.

2. The following is not allowed: X-Rated material, spam, obsessive swearing/cursing, racism, negative critics/flaming/venting, drama and putting down other e-feds in or out-of-character!

• There are some exceptions depending on the storyline and purpose of the post. For example- if swear words are needed to express a situation. Never attack your fellow players personally.
• If you bring nudity to the message board- there must be a significant amount of censoring. Such as cover areas that many may seem too graphic/sensitive: reproductive areas etc.
• If you choose to use swearing or graphic forms of expression you must put (MATURE) or (MA) in your subject header

3. Wrongful Account Creation: First time users are allowed to register only one character/account on CW. Users that create multiple accounts, create an account to impersonate someone else or a staff member, or create an "anonymous" account to post inappropriately will be removed appropriately and suspended. 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.

Derailing - Making a thread's focus of discussion change to something completely different from the original poster's intent.

Quote Training - Repeatedly quoting a large nest of meaningless quotes in a post.

Necrobumping - Bumping an old thread for no reason whatsoever.

5. Racial/Ethnic/Sexual Orientation
Users are expected to respect others' racial, ethnic, and sexual status/orientation. Promoting racial/ethnic/sexual orientation hatred, using corresponding slurs to insult and/or degrade, or alluding to a symbol of such said hatred for vulgar reasons is prohibited.

6. Real-Life Threats
Users will be expected to refrain from posting threats directed at any user(s) that refer to violence in any form or nature to any extent that is not directly related to the forums.

7. Distribution of Others' Personal Information
Releasing any information regarding any one else's personal information about the real life or forum account specifics without prior consent is prohibited. This includes phone numbers, addresses, passwords, and private messages that are sent/received on CW. If the released information is public knowledge prior to the incident and is presented unmodified in any manner, it generally may not be against this rule, depending on the case.

8. Malicious Programs/Warez
Posting or linking to malicious viruses/programs, illegal programs, or information that helps attain mentioned programs is not allowed under any circumstances, whatsoever.

9. Moderator Interaction
Forum moderators are here to keep the board clean, safe, and secure. Users are expected to treat all moderators and members of the CW with respect. Inappropriate behavior directed towards the moderators will not be tolerated.

10. Obscene/Vulgar Behavior and Content
Posting material containing inappropriate references or links to human anatomy or bodily functions or are pornographic in nature will not be tolerated (unless by the nature/purpose of the storyline). Excessive use of vulgar/inappropriate language that is considered by the moderators as objectionable will also not be tolerated. CW is a work-safe board; If any image is considered unsafe to view at work or at school, it does not belong here.

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 website. 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. Using a proxy to access or attempt to access CW after being IP banned will be considered computer trespass and appropriate actions will follow, to a moderator s discretion. 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.
Any changes to the Code of Conduct or any terms posted on this site apply as soon as they are posted. By continuing to access this site, you are indicating your acceptance to this Code of Conduct.


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 website/message board.
