What follows are the general guidelines for enforcement of Infractions/Warnings. Like a speeding ticket, we all make mistakes and get caught.

You will generally receive a Warning-only Infraction for a first offense...future violations will result in an Infraction with points.


1> Family Safe: Avatar
Certain portions of your Profile are public regardless of where you browse the forum, including the Avatar. Kids frequent this site, with and without their parents. As a result, Avatars must be Family Safe. You will first receive a Warning asking you to change your Avatar...please do so immediately. Continued violations will result in Infractions.


2> Family Safe: Signature Line
Your signature line is seen every time you post...as a result, the content of your signature line should not contain curse words, curse slang, links to adult content, political statements, etc. You will first receive a Warning asking you to edit your Signature line...please do so immediately. Continued violations will result in Infractions.


3> Cross Posting
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossposting
Simply, starting duplicate topics around various sections. Pick one forum section for your question. Posting the identical thread/questions in various forums will likely get them all deleted.


4> Language/Cursing
(quoted from the User Guide thread)
Yes, some people do....it can be occasionally appropriate. The Curse Censor is automatically activated in your User CP > Edit Options with a select few words, feel free to add more words or turn it off entirely. Cursing in thread titles is prohibited regardless. Avoid excessive cursing.
...for the 'current' word list, check this thread: (Language Warning!) Current Censor Word List


5> sChat/P&R in Chat
There is a Chat section for general chat topics that don't fit within the other focused sections. sChat is for discussions that don't need to be in the public eye (off-color, etc), Politics & Religion topics should be obvious. If your Chat thread turns 'grey area' for sChat or P&R, it will be moved. Please do NOT hyjack threads, posting content that will obviously get them moved. NWS rules apply in all forum areas regardless If you "turn" an existing Chat thread into something that should be in the other sections, expect a warning/infraction.
See 'Group Memberships' in your User CP for access to these private areas.


6> Classifieds in Tech
IH8MUD has a dedicated classifieds section, and the other sections of the forum are busy enough without a bunch of for-sale posts. Please post ALL Wanted and For Sale items in https://forum.ih8mud.com/classifieds/. This includes deals found on Craigslist/EBay. Classifieds posted else where will be removed.


7> DMCA Violation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmca
Simply put, copyrighted images taken or linked from another site is illegal. When I get a notification of a violation, you will in turn receive an infraction.


8> Flaming/Bullying
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_(Internet)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying
If you are deliberately making posts to incite another member, you are guilting of Flaming. This includes cyber-bullying. Extreme instances of these may result in immediate and permanent bans.


9> Trolling
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet)
While Flaming is directed at another member, Trolling is directed towards topics/information.


10> NWS Image (blurred/covered/closeup)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_safe_for_work
Attaching or linking an offensive image and trying to hide offensive portions through the use of blurring is not allowed. This includes stars, hands, or other means of "covering" the offensive image. Also applies to closeups of cleavage, buttocks, etc.


11> NWS link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_safe_for_work
Linking to an external image/site that contains NWS content without also including a clear warning to other members will result in a violation.


12> NWS Image - nudity
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_safe_for_work
Post nudity/NWS images, and it's a fast track to being banned.
