FORUM RULES AND GUIDELINES
-------------------------------------------------

Most
of these rules and guidelines are basically common sense and general
good behavior on internet. They serve as guidelines for this forum. The
ultimate call will still be made by a staff member.

Before posting any topic on forum, ensure that it is:
- sensible
- appropriate
- has a purpose and
- meet below rules/guidelines

Also,
please realize that these rules are not made to be broken or to annoy
anyone. They are made simply to make this forum a nice place for
everyone.

RULES
----------

1) No flaming other
members. Everyone deserves to have the same respect Note that
responding to a flame with a flame is as bad as starting a flame. So
even if other people flame you, please do not "pay them back" by
flaming. We take flaming very seriously.

2) No spamming. It is annoying.

- What is Spam?

- Unwanted Advertisement. No posting of link to another site or any topic containing a link and nothing else.

- Meaningless post which said nothing or add nothing of value to a discussion.

- Trivial post such posting in a topic just to say "I agree" unless, your opinion is asked for.

- No bumping of topics just for the purpose of raising it back to top.

3) No swearing, offensive or abusive language. Even if it is not in English, please do not use such language.

Note:
Remember that while we respect your freedom of speech and will only on
rare occasions censor what people have said, you are still responsible
for the things you say.

4) Respect UnionRan rules. Anything that would get you banned from UnionRan will, most likely get you banned here as well.

5)
No pornography. racism, Nazism's or unnecessary gore. This forum is
meant for people of all ages. Even though some might not have anything
against these, others may not agree.

6) No illegal materials that violates copyrights or/and especially links to sites that distribute illegal materials.

7) No offensive or misleading nicknames. These will get you banned quickly here.

Avoid double posting (2 replies in row). Edit the original post
instead. However, you can post another reply to a topic, if you have
something relevant to add and after a certain time.

10) No
begging of items from UnionRanStaff. It is highly unlikely that we will
give out anything for free. It is very difficult for us to establish
the truth of any claim of loss of items due to account being hacked etc.

11)
No posting of other members' personal information (eg. real name,
address, contact number etc). Please respect others' privacy. However,
as long as it does not break any rules, you can post information about
yourself in the relevant section.

topic. It may result in disciplinary action. As long as the topic is
not similar to the closed one, you can make another topic. Pls ensure
that the subject matter is clear. The new topic will be deleted if it
is found to be similar to the closed one.

bandwidth. We would not like to be kicked by our hosts. Please refrain

Check the news & update section regularly for latest information.
We reserve the right to amend the rules from time to time as necessary.

- English - try to write good and clear English. Avoid shortening your words such as yw instead of you are welcome.

-
Take your time to compose your post. There is no need to rush. Do check
your spellings and grammars (including proper use of punctuation etc).

Please remember that we are not the only people who visit this forum
site. There are other foreign readers who visit too. They may visit
here to get more information about server, its rules and us(the
community).

- Be informative and clear in the subject and
description of your topic. This will allow people to know what you are
posting about.

- Do not accuse others of rule breaking. You can
report the post to the moderator staff or relevant Admin/GM. They will
handle the matter if deemed appropriate.

- Rules are created by
people and not automated bots. Trying to go around the rules simply by
playing with different interpretations and being really precise with
meanings will most likely make your situation much worse than it
originally was.

- Constructive criticisms and different opinions
are welcome to help improve the server. As far as possible, we will
listen and consider the different views but the final decision will
still be made by us.

- In the event that you believe that a

members of the staff for a second opinion. Also, if you believe that
the staff had completely misunderstood you, please feel free to try to
explain your actions.
