#SMR rules

Post by Blum »

This is just a first draft and will probably be changed (unless I am lazy and everyone praises me). All opinions are welcome.

The Rules.

1. No foul language is allowed. That includes swearing, sexually explicit language, racial slurs etc.
2. Harassing other chatters or administrators is not allowed.
3. No cheating accusations are allowed. That includes accusations of having a multi, hacking the game etc, but does not include failing to follow in-game pacts, stealing planets etc.
4. No advertising of games other than Space Merchant Realms.
5. Impersonation is not allowed. That includes impersonating any admin, any chat user, any player that does not use chat or any old players of Space Merchant or Space Merchant Realms.
6. No flooding/spamming is allowed.
7. The main language of #smr is English. No other language is allowed.

Disciplinary action.

1. For the purpose of disciplinary action chatters are divided into 3 categories: Newbies, Veterans and Troublemakers.
a) Newbies are chatters that are new to #smr and the game as a whole. They are allowed a minimum of two warnings before punishment is decided.
b) Veterans are chatters that have been around long enough to be aware of the rules. They are allowed a minimum of one warning before punishment is given.
c) Troublemakers are chatters that have violated the rules on multiple occasions. A chatter can be moved into that category only by a decision of the chat administrator. Troublemakers do not have the right to any warnings before punishment is awarded.
2. There are two kinds of disciplinary action: warning and punishment.
a) Warning includes verbal warnings and kicks.
b) Punishment includes regular bans which last 2 hours and longer bans.

Appeals.

1. All decisions regarding interpretation of the rules can be appealed.
2. No disciplinary action, except for bans for a time period longer than 24 hours, can be appealed.
3. All appeals are to be addressed to the chat administrator at chat@smrealms.de
