Board Rules

Board Rules


Each User agrees with his/her registration to the following board rules. The Board Staff holds up the right to warn, censor and ban Users if the Users do not obey to the rules.


  • Every User may register and use one account. Multiple registrations and usage of several accounts may lead to a banning of all accounts. In cases where two or more users are either usually, sometimes or on occasion sharing an IP address and have accounts on the board, board staff MUST be informed. Failure to do so may result in a permanent ban. Report any instances of IP sharing to the BA or a SMOD.


  • In extreme cases which are defined on each case individually Users might be banned ingame and from IRC as well. The same goes vice versa. The rules do apply for forums posts and personal messages (Pms).


  • The whole forum is included in the Terms and Conditions of Katsuro. Therefore German Laws apply on the whole board. It also means that the Katsuro.us Owners are not responsible for any posted pictures or links which are copyrighted.


Attitude on the forums


To guarantee a relaxed atmosphere between all participants on the forum, some posting restrictions are needed.


  • The Board language is English. No other Language is to be used anywhere on the Forums, e.g. in Posts, Signatures, Avatars etc.


  • Posting contents and links of pornographic, politically extremist, immoral and offensive material which may breach applicable laws are forbidden. It is also not allowed to post keys, hacks, cracks or other things of illegal nature, including illegal download pages and "warez". Discussion of such items will lead to an immediate warning.

    The announcement of contents which come under the law of data security or copyright as well as requests for posting something like that.


  • Posting of any personal messages or discussions, without the consent of all involved parties are forbidden.


  • Posting of contents which do not belong to the topic/ relevant forum (Spam/Offtopic) are undesired and may lead to a warning. An exception of this is the Spamboard. This includes postings which only point out breaches of the rules (Backseat Modding).This is up to the board team. 'Bumping' old threads is also not allowed.


  • Spamming of emoticons and images is not allowed due to the fact that it may freeze peoples computers. Images or postings which are side exceeding (means one has to scroll vertically or/and horizontally to read all) are not allowed.


  • Contents, links, user Names etc. with the only aim to flame and insult other participants of the community are forbidden. Same goes for trolling: posts solely intended to annoy other people or incite flames.


  • Contents of inappropriate language and excessive cursing are not allowed.


  • Advertisement and linking to other browser games not owned by Gameforge, is not allowed on the whole forums. Links to games with the aim to count every visitor are not allowed. (Bite Links)


  • It's not allowed to post for banned people. If you do so, it results in a warning for you. The sharing of accounts with people who are banned from the board will also incur a ban for the account holder.


  • Impersonation of a Staff member (Name, Avatar, Signature) may lead to a warning or in extreme cases to a ban.


  • Misuse of the report button is forbidden.


  • Discussion of board/ game bans or warnings is not permitted in the public forums, this may result in further bans or warnings. Please discuss these issues with the Moderator/ Game Operator involved or their superior only.


    Signatures


    Signature Pictures may not exceed the following measurements:

    Width: 450 pixels
    Height: 150 pixels
    Max. datafile size: around 80 kb

    Anything that is used as an exploit to circumvent the rules, means posting at the end of the post siglike pictures and other that makes the sig appear larger, is not allowed.

    Staff members may be permitted to have larger signatures at the discretion of the Administration.


    Forum Staff and User Responsibilities


    Each Forum participant has to obey to the Rules. If you feel warned unfairly, first contact the MOD who gave the warning. Then you may get in contact the SMOD. In extreme cases you have the right to talk to a BOARD ADMIN. The Board Admin word is final.

    The same applies if your Topic gets closed. Please do not open several threads on the same topic and try to use the search.

    Several warnings may lead to a ban from the Forum. Each case is looked at individually. Reregistering a second account after a time ban from the Forums lead to a permanent ban. In extreme cases a User can be banned without having warnings


    Notes

  • Board Administrators and Smods (in emergencies) have ban rights (sigs and Users), Custom Title and user name Changing rights.
    - Complains about Smods go to a Board Administrator.
    - Complains about a Board Administrator go to another Board Administrator or the Community Manager
So where do I sail?
A ship losing control
My cries swallowed up, lost in the ranging sea

So where has love gone?
Will I ever reach it?
The Cape of Storms echoes the pain I feel inside
