Cbox Guidelines

C-BOX GUIDELINES

• Don't take anything too seriously.
  
  The Cbox is to be considered an area for playful chat. This means that what is said there should not be taken to heart. On the internet, people are alot braver than they would be in real life, so don't take offense at every little thing said. Its designed to make communication just a little bit easier, so remember that, relax, and have fun.
  
  
• You may ask Staff in the CBOX to check your profile.
  
  This means that you can link your profile in the Cbox, through your name, or just by dropping a link and asking a staff member to check it. This does not mean you should post the link 10 times in a row, or whine every five seconds that someone did not check it yet. Everyone has a real life, everyone has things to do. Staff will do the best they can in getting to things once they're linked, so sure, remind us, but have a little patience.
  
  
  
• PM them for everything else or post in support.
  
  The Cbox is not a place to ask 100 questions, especially questions that can be easily answered either by looking at the guidelines/rules board or posting the question in support. That being said, I don't personally mind you asking me a question or two if you see me in there, but others may not feel the same way. DO NOT link training threads/travel threads/etc. and ask for them to be graded/moved. Send a PM. Once you've done so, DO NOT inform staff in cbox that you've sent a PM. They will get to it when they can.
  
  
• Please do not post anything pornographic: links, advertisements, or pictures within the C-Box.
  
  Don't do it. No nudity of any kind, not from zerochan, not from your favorite hentai site, not from anywhere. Do it, and you get to meet my special Banhammer. It won't be pretty.
  
  
• Do not post anything that disrupts a site such as links in which someone can not click out of it, cause that's gonna get you in trouble.
  
  Self explanatory. Again, don't force me to take out the banhammer. It pwns all.
  
  
• No Baiting, No Flaming, No Antagonizing, No Trolling, No Spamming, and No Fighting.
  
  This is a standard rule for all RP sites, but one that often isn't regulated very well. Older/More Experienced RP'ers and the occasional wannabe cool guy who thinks being a smartass equates to interwebz fame will come on and start insulting people or being unnecessarily rude. When this happens, you will simply be removed from the Cbox. Now, before you are removed, you will be given a warning in order for you to be informed that the actions you are taking are seen as trolling by staff. When this happens, you saying that "you don't see how it was trolling because of X,Y,Z" does not matter to me in the slightest. I will attempt to ensure that staff members do not simply throw out cbox bans because they don't like you, and if you feel that this has happened, PM me and I will look into it immediately. However...if either myself or Ryu has decided that what you are doing is in fact trolling/baiting/etc. you will be removed for as long a period as we feel is necessary. I do not care if you tried to find some loophole to pretend like you were 'just' calling someone an idiot in the nicest possible way. If we feel you are being a dick -- read that again, because i'm not some robot who doesn't get irritated or annoyed, i'm a person too, but pay attention -- IF WE FEEL YOU ARE BEING A DICK, A DOUCHE, AN IRRITATING WISE ASS, ETC -- you will be removed for as long a period of time as we decide is necessary.
  
  Now, this goes for Staff Members as well. If you are antagonizing the situation, making an event in the cbox worse when its your job to make it better, you will be removed just as easily. Easiest way to avoid all this, is to treat people with respect, and air your frustrations through RP.
  
  
  
• Keep it English.
  
  I don't mind a few words in another language, or a reference to something that isn't in english. But. I speak 8 different languages fluently and i know a ton of bad words in a smattering of others, do not change your insult to spanish or japanese or french or klingon in order to conceal their intent. I will know, and you will be removed. For the most part, keep your conversations english. If a staff member warns you about what your saying, take their advice.
  
  
• Absolutely NO advertising within the C Box, failure to comply will result in a permanent ban.
  
  Do not link another Roleplay site in the Cbox. Do not talk about the roleplay site you're a part of or plan to create or wish you were being active in, in the Cbox. If you wanna post a youtube link, have at it, but no other RP sites please. There's a place for that.
  
  
  
• If you wish to advertise please look into the affiliation boards.
  
  This would be 'the place for that' that i mentioned above. Follow all rules and guidelines placed in the affiliations boards if you wish to advertise.
  
  
• Same rule applies to pm advertisements.
  
  You start sending out PM's to people, advertising your site, when they're not specifically requesting it, you will be instantly banned faster than you can say "But-- !".
  

New rules will develop as we run into situations that require new rules, but as long as you're behaving like you've got some common sense, things should be fine. The most important thing to remember is; people come to the Cbox to chat and have fun, not to be assaulted by your bad attitude or drama. So keep that stuff out and everything should work just fine.
