First off, welcome to the official CaNaDiAn_BaCoN forums!
This forum features the new "Pokemon Farm," created by Aurasaver and Midnight. We hope that this idea will really take off. The three of us and our other great staff members want this to be a good and helpful community for everyone, so please read the following rules below to help keep it that way.
There are some things that everyone should take note of before posting on the forum.
1.) No insults or flaming.
These include, but are not limited to:
-Direct insults
-Sexual harassment
-Threats
-Provoking others
-Put-downs
-Insults towards family, race, religion, etc.
2.) Disruptive posting
Disruptive posting can mean anything from useless posts, to things that are downright annoying. These are all considered spam, and if a member does one of these things, with or without intention, the proper action will be taken.
There are many examples of this, that include but aren't limited to:
-Double, triple, quadruple, etc. posting.
-Posting advertisements, especially those with explicit content.
-Adding irrelevant (off-topic) posts. Post in the right area please.
-Posting useless topics on purpose.
-Posts such as "oooooooooommmmmmmmmmmggggggggggggg" or anything similar that are very annoying and almost always pointless.
-Posting anything that is intentionally hard to read. This could include trying to write with special characters or numbers, alternating caps, and others.
-Posting just to get your post count higher.
-Posting a topic identical or almost identical to another.
-Bumping for no reason.
3.) Language
There are some younger members, so please respect them and watch your mouth.
-Don't "censor" your cuss words. Just because you have an asterisk (*) in between doesn't make it appropriate. Just don't use the word at all.
-No racial slurs. This falls under bad language, and even though it may not seem offensive to you, it can be to other players. This doesn't necessarily mean straight up saying a racist word, it could be any sentence directly or indirectly insulting a certain race.
(eg. stop acting like a ........ )
The same goes for racial slurs, don't censor, just don't say it!
-No sexual references.
4.) References to illegal activities or illegal substances
A couple examples would be:
-Drug/alcohol references
-Illegal downloading or copying.
-Posting anything attempting to get others to violate the law.
5.) Impersonating
Do not pretend to be someone you are not. If you are caught doing this, it will result in a ban.
6.) Unauthorized access, exploits, trying to "beat the system"
-Finding and taking advantage of loopholes.
-Trying to access an account that isn't yours without permission.
7.) Mini-Modding
Mini-modding is when someone who isn't a mod acts like one. There is a lot of confusion between what is a mini-mod post and what isn't. This is what I consider to be the difference:
NOT a mini-mod:
"Could you please stop spamming up the topic, it's getting annoying"
A mini-mod:
"Enough spamming or you will be banned"
Overall, be respectful of others on the board. Remember that this is a community, and that if any member violates these rules then the staff members will take the appropriate action. The rules stated above are subject to change, and more may be added in the future. If there are any questions, check back.
