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 behavior.
------------------------------------
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 gameplay
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.
