Infraction System:
How does this system work?:
The warning system operates in tallies/points you earn for breaking site rules. Depending on how many you earn, you run potential risk of chatbox and even site wide bans. So how do you obtain tallies and how many? Points vary. Simple as that. The list below shows more in depth on how the system works and how many points you may earn for every rule you break.
If you get warnings, what happens next?:
Consequences upon reaching a certain number of points goes as follows.
The Courtroom and Trial:
Having now gone over what happens when you break the rules, we now will give a rundown of the 'courtroom system' and how it works. The court system is a trial in which the member who has recieved an 'x' amount of points will be allowed to give their side of the story. Once a member is being tried, they will be speaking towards a group of admins, mods, and developers who are chosen at random and have nothing to do with the issue being discussed as to not cause bias. The panel will be acting as jury. The member being tried may be able to call a staff member not in panel to act as their 'lawyer.' In some cases, although rare, the person may be able to ask for a regular member to speak in behalf of them. Depending on the outcome, the member being tried may have their points reduced. If not, the sentence the member has earned will be conducted. Also, keep in mind that trial will be done privately and at the discretion of the administrators, moderators, developers, and trial participants.
Ending Words:
If you have any questions relating to this system, please contact an administrator and ask. If you feel you have been wrongly punished, feel free to let a Head Admin know so that it may be looked into. Otherwise, please wait until the trial to let the staff now. Bringing evidence is key as well. Also, keep in mind that points will not be removed or reduced until the trial period is over and the jury have voted in your favor. Furthermore, if a moderator or administrator is on trial, consequences may and will include the revoking of staff position.
- 1-25 points are given for minor offenses. An example could include ignoring the warnings of a moderator in the chatbox, advertising a single site many times, and the sort.
- 26-50 points are given for offenses that are more serious, but not incredibly serious. Examples could include: disrespecting a moderator/administrator, refusing to change something a moderator/administrator has asked you to change, etc.
- 51-100 points are given to members who have gone above and beyond what is deemed mild. These points are given to those who have cause severe offenses. Examples of this could include: complete disregard of what administrator/moderators are saying, complete godmod, etc.
If you get warnings, what happens next?:
Consequences upon reaching a certain number of points goes as follows.
- 50 Points - 1 Day Chatbox Ban
- 100 Points - A Week Long Chatbox Ban. Staff reaching 100 points will be removed from their position. Staff that have been stripped of their position may no longer apply to staff unless stated otherwise.
- 150 Points - 1 Day Site Ban with alternative character creation rights revoked
- 200 Points - A Week Site Ban with current Positions and future Position rights revoked.
1st Trial Will Start After Gaining 200 Points - 250 Points - 2 Week Site Ban along with a month long chatbox ban.
- 300 Points - 1 Month Site Ban with chatbox rights revoked.
Last Trial Will Commence After 300 Points - 350 Points - You are permanently banned from the site both account-wise and IP-wise. Your characters may also run risk for adoption.
The Courtroom and Trial:
Having now gone over what happens when you break the rules, we now will give a rundown of the 'courtroom system' and how it works. The court system is a trial in which the member who has recieved an 'x' amount of points will be allowed to give their side of the story.

In some cases, although rare, the person may be able to ask for a regular member to speak in behalf of them. Depending on the outcome, the member being tried may have their points reduced. If not, the sentence the member has earned will be conducted. Also, keep in mind that trial will be done privately and at the discretion of the administrators, moderators, developers, and trial participants.
- 1st Trial: The first trial begins when a member has earned a total of 200 points. At 200 points, you will be called in for a trial (through PM and or Skype) in which, depending on your outcome, may reduce the number of points accumilated. A group of moderators and or administrators will be selected to act as jury at random. You will be allowed to choose to be defended by an administrator or moderator as your "lawyer" or you may choose to defend yourself. If you choose to be defended, only a moderator or admininistator is allowed to request to act on your behalf if and only if they have not been selected for jury. Keep in mind that if you choose to ignore the trial then you run risk of a full on ban.
- 2nd Trial: The 2nd trial is the last of your trials. This happens when you have accumilated a total of 300 points. You will be notified via PM and or Skype when trial is to begin. The 2nd trial will run as the first one did with the only difference being that the risk of banning is greater. Also, keep in mind that if you choose to ignore the trial then you run risk of full ban.
At the end of each trial session, a staff member not involved with the trial will summarize it and post at the end of trial thread.
Ending Words:
If you have any questions relating to this system, please contact an administrator and ask. If you feel you have been wrongly punished, feel free to let a Head Admin know so that it may be looked into. Otherwise, please wait until the trial to let the staff now.

Forum and Chatbox Rules:
Disobeying the rules listed below will result in a warning, and an eventual ban if sustained.
Disobeying the rules listed below will result in a warning, and an eventual ban if sustained.
Chatbox Rules:
- Harassment to other players in the form of verbal or textual abuse and/or any other form of abuse will not be tolerated.
- Excessive trolling will not be tolerated. If told to stop, then you must stop.
- This is a mature site, so there may be some foul language, but abusing it and insulting other players is unacceptable.
- Attempting to exploit and/or abuse a system will not be tolerated.
- Staff must also follow these rules. No exceptions.
Account/Alternate Account Rules:
- You may only have up to 3 alternate characters anytime you wish. This means you may have one main account and three alternate accounts. The only requirement is for you to be active on all of your accounts.
- You cannot role-play more than one character on an account. You must create an alt or NPC account to play other characters. Only exception to this will be ‘pet’ characters.
- There are exceptions to this rule; you must buy extra slots in order to obtain additional accounts. If you are caught cheating the system or lying, you are subject to a ban.
- Your FC must be a fictional character. To register your Face Claim or to see which are not available, click [url=LIIIINK]here[/url].
- If your character dies, you may NOT edit the profile; however you may create a new account and import most of your primary items (Gold, Tokens...) to a new account. You may also import your items if it were to make sense on how you obtained the materials. (Finding the dead body, perhaps leaving it in a box...). Do note that all event items are not transportable unless you have added it to the vault. All of this will need to be done through a thread and must be approved by an admin.
- If you create an alt, you must list it in the alternate character thread or it will be deleted. If someone with the same IP address joins the site, please inform an admin so as to avoid any misunderstandings regarding characters.
Role-Playing Rules:
- As mentioned before, this is a mature site and so foul language in role-playing is mildly acceptable. Please keep sexual actions to a minimum (black out, etc) or do them in the designated sections.
- Godmodding will not be tolerated and may result locking of the thread for review. If continued, you will be at risk of getting banned. We will still issue warnings before doing so. Godmodding is when a player controls the actions of another player without permission and/or a player performs actions that their character should not be capable of considering the situation.
- Metagaming will not be tolerated unless the other person you are roleplaying with agrees to it. This, though, cannot be done during an event as well as within certain jobs. If you have any questions, please contact a staff member.
- Plagiarizing from other players will not be tolerated. You must try to be original when creating your characters. Similarities are inevitable, but we will not accept something completely the same as another member unless they approve of it and contact the admin and or mod reviewing the app.
Canon/Non-Canon Rules:
- All users are allowed to freely play as who they like. HOWEVER, we do not encourage members to RP as canon-based characters.
- Do note that this is an original fantasy RP site and, therefore, it is not tied to any particular anime or manga. Please respect that.
