When you first sign up and claim a team and become a GM make sure to read over the rules and repost your roster page and start trading or chatting and just have fun.
Prejudice:
Absolutely no Racism, or other prejudicial slurs are allowed on the board. You can guess the punishment.
Spam:
For the purposes of this site, we consider spam absolutely, 100% ANY posting of unwanted, uninvited sites, particularly other sim leagues.
Identity Theft:
Pretending to be someone else, especially a "member of authority" (admin, mod, PR, etc) in the C-Box is a ban-able offense. We ask that if you do want to mock someone you make a somewhat obvious indication its not the actual person, or people will be confused.
And, if you are going to do this, you better be funny or interesting, or we may just ban you for being a twit. We do have a sense of humour, but not if it starts affecting the smooth-running nature of the site.
Arguments:
If you disagree with something or get into an argument, we ask that as soon as it turns into name-calling, you take it to Trash Talk, and have it out there. We do NOT want our threads full of bickering, so keep it confined to the Trash Talk thread.
Also, if someone says you are/have gone too far in an argument, STOP. After that, it becomes harassment, and WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. Strikes will be issues for continued harassment.
Dumbasses:
Alright boys, let's face it, you will encounter a couple of dumbasses on this board. They might be a GM or a guy on the waitlist, but when you think about it, we all could be dumbasses at times right? Please keep the name-calling to a minimum. If you feel you need to say something go ahead, but if someone just randomly says something stupid, please don't just call them out on it.
Double-Posting:
Please refrain from double-posting. The only time this is okay is when you are making a 100% different point, about a 100% different idea and not adding to your previous one. Instead of posting another message, which consumes valuable real estate, just modify your previous post!
Activity Consistency:
If you haven't been on the site in over 7 days and haven't mentioned that you'd be leaving for a while in our vacation thread, you may have your franchise given to a new member. We feel that in the course of 7 days you could have neglected to reply to PMs, and not given us any belief that you'd return afterward. So stay active.
Sigs:
Because some of us poor bastards have limited bandwidth/month, we're adding a 2-sig MAX limit to the site. And keep their size reasonable. They take up valuable real estate! If you fail to do this, a staff member will take away a random one. Or all of them.
Family Members/Shared Computer:
If a family member or friend shares your computer and intends to join the league, you must inform Red Wings or Player Rep before hand. The matching IP addresses, can cause problems, as can similar email addresses. We remind everyone that using this system to try to stack one team is not advisable, as all trades are reviewed by staff - if any bad trade goes through, it's staff's fault. If you and your brother/sister/dad/mom want to join the league, you may be Co-Gms or have seperate teams.
Now for those that dis obey any of these rules will fall under this system setup for negligence of following the rules.
1st Offence: A Warning PM letting you know what you did for the offence with 33% Warning Level.
2nd Offence: 48 Hour Ban and a PM of a warning that its your last chance with a 66% Warning Level.
3rd Offence: Perment Ban.
