Flaming/Flame-baiting
Abuse will not be tolerated on Wolves of Iria. Therefore, directing a racial or verbally abusive attack at another user, or deliberately posting in order to provoke other users is prohibited. Continuing to post in a thread when you have been asked to leave by the thread owner, or continuing to contact someone after you have been asked to stop is considered harassment and will result in a punishment.
Advertising
Posting links or web addresses for other websites or products in the manner of gaining members or employees, or asking/encouraging users to participate in Multi-level marketing or religious organization is not permitted and will be punishable. Please don't post or link as well as use automatic clicking sites. They will not work anyway.
Selling real items on site, whether directly or through links to other sites is also forbidden.
Impersonating Staff
Acting Like, Posting as, or pretending to be staff is strictly prohibited. WoI staff all have colored names. Administrators, who take care of site updates, have their names colored in blue. If you see anyone who is claiming to be staff and their name is not colored, please report it to an admin. No real staff member will ever ask you for your password. If anyone is asking for your password, please report them to a moderator/admin immediately.
No Explicit Sexual Content
This is the banning of depictions or references to the reproductive organs; Cybering; or other sexual acts. Role Playing may be somewhat seductive in nature, but all content should be age appropriate. If it is not something you would do in front of your grandparents, then it's probably not allowed.
Respect the Ownership of Others
Do not claim to something you did not make entirely as your own. If you use parts of someone else's work give them credit, and make sure they know. This also applies for off-site sources.
No use of exploits
Taking advantage of site glitches or loopholes in the codes, so-called exploiting, is strictly forbidden. This includes, but is not limited to, anything that changes how the site works or allows you to exceed limits. Using an exploit will at least mean a warning but can result in a ban depending on the severity of the exploit.
Scamming
Social engineering for one's own gain or personal information with false pretenses is never allowed. There will be no warnings.
Botting
Any form of botting the site is forbidden and will lead to an instant ban.
Multiple Accounts
Only one account is permitted on Wolves of Iria. Period. This is a banning offense for all involved accounts!
Please note that creating a second account is forbidden even if you intend to abandon the old one.
No harassment in PM
It is forbidden to PM users asking them to give up personal information, account information, etc. Anyone caught doing this will have a warning. On second offense, the account will be banned.
No Multi-Posting
Please edit your post instead of posting again. If your topic died, it died for a reason. If the site is lagging, only hit submit once. You can open a new window to see if you post went through.
Bumping
For those forums and subforums that allow bumping, you may bump your own threads once every 20 hours. To bump, you must use the bump button. If that button is not showing up, you are not allowed to bump that particular thread. Making a post to bump a thread is not allowed.
No Spam
Spam includes posts with nothing except the word "bump", but is not limited to it (i.e. posting only smilies). Your post is about the content allowed on the board. Spam also includes wall posts. Wall posts are single characters, words or simple phrases repeated for several lines. Advertising shops, sales or auctions in posts is considered spam as well.
No Stealth Links
It is also forbidden to use Wolves of Iria pictures to link to other sites!
It is similarly disallowed to use recoloured sprites to link offsite (i.e., "Fooled you!" style links).
No Rainbow or Gradient Font in Posts
Turning text rainbow-colored (eg. posting like this.) is forbidden, being a form of spamming.
