We have two rules that seem to have a bit of confusion surrounding them, and the bickering inside the room about what rule means what is taking away from rp and general mood. 1.) "No outside links" - This is what is listed on the rule thread about posting links inside the room: "Links relevant to roleplay and comics are allowed. Please keep everything else in whisper or IM. Do not link to porn" Links pertaining to the XU community involve comicbook related characters. Comicbook related characters (because there is some confusion) are characters created by someones imagination who originated in magazine-type books that are sold on shelves. These fictional characters can also be seen in fictional movies, fictional novels and fictional interweb comics. Can you post a picture of Hulk? Yes! Can you post a picture of Michael Jackson? No! *Why?* -The Hulk is a fictional character originating from Marvel Comics, who was created from Stan Lee's imagination. He is not real. He is a Marvel character. Thus, he is on topic with our comicbook related roleplay. -MJ was a real person. He originated from Katherine and Joe Jackson and lived and died on planet Earth. This has always been XU's policy on posting outside links. An "outside link" is a link that does not have anything to do with the ROOM'S topic. If the OOC topic is Michael Jackson, you can NOT post a link to him. It is an OOC chatter topic, NOT the room's topic. The room's topic is and always will be COMICS. We also do not allow any outside links that connect members of XU to separate, unrelated chatrooms. This is a separate rule but can be catagorized as the same. Note: There will no longer be warnings for posting outside links. If you post a outside link you will be instantly kicked. 2.) "Do not harass other players" - There has been a growing number of complaints about this, so let me clear some things up. Harassment : [huh-ras-muhnt, har-uhs-muhnt] -noun -the act or an instance of harassing, or disturbing, pestering, or troubling repeatedly. Harassment can also be grouped under "trolling". If you have an issue with someone, do NOT come into this room and call names, pick on and openly antagonize said person. Vice versa with said person. Do not torment, instigate, provoke or actuate any sort of negative response from anyone in the room. This also falls under the catagory of "Be civil". Doing this literally STOPS rp in it's tracks and has even made people leave the room A.) To avoid being picked on, B.) Avoid having to witness it, C.) Because the rp was killed, D.) Because the mood to rp was killed. If you come into the room in order to do this, expect to be kicked and eventually banned. We can not tolerate bullying. These rules are extremely simple to understand and follow, and we expect everyone who wants to participate in this rp to abide by them. If you do not abide by these rules, you can not participate. If you do not want to abide by these rules, do not come into the room. Thank you. Edited by Deadpool, Dec 8 2012, 02:00 AM.
