Forum Rules & Information

Forum Rules:

1.Leave the profanity and explicit comments somewhere else.
2.Don't flame other members. Personal attacks will not be tolerated. This is a fundamental rule here and it's a big part of the reason we've grown so quickly. Many other Guild forums may not care as much but If you're tired of places like that, you've found your home among the rest of the rest of us here.

We always get new members. Most of the new members have respected our forum rules. If you're one of those new members, welcome to our community. We're excited to grow and to get the fresh opinions that come from new members. Unfortunately, some people have a complete disregard for our rules and it will not be tolorated.

The main philosophy here is that you can express your opinion but you cannot direct any abusive comments at another member. Don't take it personal & don't make it personal.

Members That Don't Belong Here
If you can't separate the messenger from the message, you don't belong here.
If you can't debate a point and you have to turn it into an argument, you don't belong here.

Forum leadership will NOT put up with posters making insults, attacks or threats against our members. If you recieve a warning listen to it and don't get upset.

On that same note, we're not trying to make this a forum that's devoid of all humor & fun. There's a difference between flaming (abusive, mean-spirited comments) and good natured smack talk. Know the difference!

3.You can complain about guilds you don't like but don't let that influence your opinion of others and don't try to force your opinion on others.

4.Racial, sexual, or ethnic slurs are not allowed.

5.We are not a forum for discussion of politics and religion. Our main focus are Our O&C Game and Our Guild, though sections are provided to speak about non-O&C/Guild related material.

6.We are not a venue for free advertisement or promotion of any website, cause, movement, group, product or service outside of Order & Chaos Games and wiki. External links in posts will be removed at the sole discretion of the OmegaForum leadership. New members who break this rule run the chance of being banned immediately as spammers.

7.External links in posts are allowed but only to these types of sites: 1) obvious news articles at recognized news sites 2) newsworthy blog posts. 3) video links about Order & Chaos related materials. OmegaForum leadership will decide if the links are appropriate and in correct sections.

8.You can have a signature but keep it short or in a spoiler. Also it must follow forum rules.

9.Your posts may be edited for clarity, brevity or for any other reason at the sole discretion of OmegaForum leadership. Threads and posts may be moved or removed at our discretion.

10. If you are temporaraly banned for missbehavior accept the ban. Any attempt at creating a new account to avoid the bann will result in a permanent IP ban from this web site.

11.Other rules may apply as well and posted in other sections of the Wiki and forum.



CHATBOX:

The ChatBox follows the same rules as the rest of the forum with a few additional areas of note.

1. The color of your text can be any color you chose, however it is important to keep the color to something that is easily seen and read. If others have the same color as you it is ok. the colors are the prefference of those using the chatbox and colors are not registered to anyone.

2. You can be banned from the chatbox. This does not ban you from the rest of the site but should be thought of as an example on correct behavior while on the forums.

3. Links are ok as long as they follow the rules listed above.

4. Order & Chaos talk takes priority over any other conversations, however, no one has to chose to join in the conversation. Conversations are chosen by the majority. It is highly discouraged to leave anyone out of the conversation however.

5. Mods have the final say in the ChatBox when an admin is not on. If you dissagree with the Mods decision or feel they are not following the rules, let an admin know right away.



Got a Problem with a Moderator?

If you think a Moderator is abusing their authority, you should 1st contact them and discuss it like adults. Be aware that any PM or emails to moderators may be shared with other moderators/administrators as necessary. If you've tried to resolve your concern with the moderator and you're not satisfied, contact an Administrator.


Got a Problem with an Administrator?

While we try to keep an open mind in all matters, this community is a free forum and is maintained and ran by the lead admin and decisions are final. Feel free to contact us with any concerns and we'll resolve the issue in a way that's best for the community.



I am available via PM if you have any questions. Thank you and please enjoy this great forum and the other members.
