Oceanic Empire Code of Conduct

Well, after a long, arduous meeting, we have come to the conclusion for the rules. Here they are.

1) No pornographic or sexual material. Any violators will be deleted immediately, and the person responsible for the deletion will not be judged. A simple rule to decide whether something is allowed or not is if you would show it to your parents or not. Be sensible here; its not that hard.

2)Language. Come on now, this isn't hard. Sure, we've censored all the terrible ones, but we know you are smart enough to bypass the word filter. If you do it, depending on the offense, you are succeptible to a two week ban at the most.

3)Flaming/Spamming. Leave spamming to the spam topic, and flaming to the flame topic. You can spam occasionally in other topics, but more than one post of spam in a row will be deleted. Flaming will not be tolerated. If not in the flame topic, it is a serious offense. Susceptible up to one week of banning.

4) No threatening. This is easy. We have never had a serious problem with this before, nothing that requires attention to say the least. But we still don't want this going on. Depending on the level of threat, it could be banning, it could even be deletion. The punishment is gray area in this type of offense.

5) No Religious Discussion Period. Let's be frank; we've had it before, and bad things have followed. Aside from reducing flaming, it will be good to abandon the topic altogether. Not only will it reduce arguments, but it will stop offending people.

6) No topics that would offend people. Sometimes this isn't obvious. If it is offending someone and isn't obvious, we'll give you a warning. If it is obvious, its a two day ban.

7) Somewhat readable posts please. Grammar doesn't need to be completely followed... but please be a little prideful. It it gets too severe, we'll warn you.

8) No dupe accounts. It was funny once, it ain't now. Please don't, we can tell through your IP adress. Just don't.

Alright, we have also made some rules administrators are expected to follow, at risk of losing their powers. Not rules so much as a system of Checks and Balances, though.

Executive Admin: At all times, Emperor 'Sula. He has the final say in things unless the other two admins both disagree. The other two admins override his say. He settles arguments, even if they don't come to a logical conclusion.

Judiciary Admin: Currently, Banryx, although up for re-election every six months. This admin has jurisdiction over what is fair or not. Some people may not agree with rules, and if you don't, you have to argue it over with him. If you succeed, you're rule may be taken down or passed.

Legislative Admin: Currently Abyss, although up for re-election every six months. This admin is the governor of rules. If you want a rule taken down or a new rule added, PM him and he will propose it to the trio of admins. He is your personal representative in the trio of admins.

That's all for now.
