Forum Rules [Updated 12/21/2016]

MAIN RULES OF THE FORUMS

Please respect your community. Respect each other as you all enjoy the same thing – The Game.

We encourage open and friendly discussion of the game and the Community. Moderators and Staff have final decisions on all matters, and are here to make sure that the Community remains a friendly, fun place appropriate for players of all backgrounds, ages and groups.

It is the forum member's responsibility to stay up to date on forum rules and to honor the behavior outlined.

PURPOSE OF THE FORUMS

These forums provide an area for constructive player discussions of the game. It also allows players to
help each other identify bugs and issues, and help each other reproduce and resolve them.

These forums are not the most direct way to contact support. If you’re having an issue with your game and you need direct assistance, please tap on the FAQ/Support tab within the game.

CHANGES OR IMPROVEMENT

Please make sure to stay updated on these rules by reviewing this page from time to time.

SET RULES

Rule 1: Responses to rule violations
Violating these rules will result in warnings, either formal or informal, suspensions, banning, or other sanctions.

Rule 2: Respect other users on the forums
- Do not make attacks or insult other users, either in the forums or through private messages. Disagreements and debates are fine, but don’t make it personal.
- Do not attack groups. This includes professions, races, religions, sexual orientations, genders, incomes, or even vague groups like “you people.â€‌

Rule 3: Respect the forum purpose and structure
- Make your posts in the appropriate forum.
- Please use the Search function. If a relevant thread already exists, please post there instead of creating a new thread about the same topic. Duplicate threads will be closed to keep the forums orderly and easy to navigate.

- Do not start a thread without actual purpose.
- Do not start a thread about a news story or article unless you make it clear what the story is about, and offer your own opinion to start a discussion.

Rule 8: Respect your account
- Do not share your account information with other individuals. You will be held responsible for any rules violations that occur under your account.
- Do not create new accounts or use other tricks to avoid suspensions or bans.
- Do not create �sock puppet’ accounts – multiple accounts created just so that you can agree with yourself and make it seem like your ideas have more support than they do.
- Never include your e-mail address or any other personal information in posts.

Rule 9: Respect the Moderators
- Do not post using the color red. This color is reserved for moderators.
- Do not impersonate moderators. Do not claim to speak for the moderators.

Rule 10: Respect the decisions of the moderators
- The moderation teams reserves the right to warn, suspend, or permanently ban users judged to be acting against the spirit of the rules, even if the user is following the letter of the rules.
- Do not argue with moderators about moderator decisions. You can disagree with a moderator’s opinions, just like any other poster, but when they post moderator actions in red text, it is considered final.
- Moderators have no access to your game account. If you have an issue you must contact customer service.

Generally, BE NICE. There is nothing wrong with being nice to each other.

    Game Guru Q&A (Random Joker Post #13)

    Hey guys. I've been getting tons of questions lately, and since I haven't made a Joker Post in awhile, and it gets a bit hard to answer them all individually, I thought I'd answer some of the most common questions here.

    Do you get paid for being a Game Guru?
    This is actually a really common question I've been getting, and I'm going to be straight up ad say no, we do not get paid money to be Game Gurus. It's a volunteer position, and we have other jobs/duties other than being on forums.

    How do I become a Game Guru?
    I get this one quite a lot as well, and I'm going to be honest and say I don't know. There's no real application process, and from what I've seen there's never more than five Game Gurus at a time. Selene, Cthulu, and I were all sent PMs asking if we'd like to participate in the program, and after a bit of consideration, I accepted. Just be active and helpful, and if there's ever a slot open, maybe you'll be asked.

    Can you help me with this support issue?
    As Game Gurus, we're here to chat and help other players just like anyone else. We are also here to promote and maintain a positive atmosphere on forums, and have no direct relation to the support team. If you need a technical issue resolved, it's best if you forward it to the support team or UWE_Tank right here on forums. (Note: Please do not spam Tank or expect an answer from him or support immediately.)

    Can you get <Insert Moderator Here> to stop closing/deleting my threads/posts?
    As Game Gurus we support each other's decisions regarding moderation and warnings. If your posts are being deleted constantly, try brushing up on the forum ToS.

    That's all I have time for right now, but if you have any other questions, please PM me or any other GG and I (or another GG) will try to answer them as soon as humanly possible.

    .......
    Rule 10: Respect the decisions of the moderators
    - The moderation teams reserves the right to warn, suspend, or permanently ban users judged to be acting against the spirit of the rules, even if the user is following the letter of the rules.
    - Do not argue with moderators about moderator decisions. You can disagree with a moderator’s opinions, just like any other poster, but when they post moderator actions in red text, it is considered final.


    My Regards,
    Joker,
    Manager of Dark London.
