There is a zero-tolerance policy against spammers/spambots.

Suspected spambots will be banned when the Admin comes on, usually every day.

So how does the Admin determine if an account is a spammer? Usually, the spammer's first topic is usually Spam, which have the following symptoms:

A) The topic sounds like it is posted in the wrong area.

B) The topic contains a link to a website of amateur naming.

For example, a "China Email List" was posted inside the Roleplay forums. The topic reads like an advertisement for selling said item and includes one word in the middle of the paragraph as a link, which is suspicious even without checking the link's name. Thus, the person who posted that was quickly banned and their topics deleted too.

Some spam does not even have to make literal sense as long as it pushes its website. In rare occasions, spammers might reply to an ongoing thread or place their websites in their signatures; these too will be checked as well. Though the Admin might overturn the ban if emailed, there are rarely any emails from these spam accounts.

In regards to this attempt, the registration questions have been updated.]]>

1. Be respectful of each other. You all have different opinions and ideas and we should not try to challenge that. Try not to incite any political, religious or sensitive views. While characters can still insult each other, they should not be outlets to attack others.

2. Do not roleplay underaged characters in kink situations. Characters must be at least 18 years old physically and mentally, especially when witnessing such acts. If using a fictional character under 18, leeway can be provided if they can be aged up within a small time frame or if their future self is an adult when they show up.

3. There are some kinks that should not be roleplayed at all: Pedophilia, Bestiality, Necrophilia, Scat, Gore. This is in line with what Sebastian has not drawn himself and what is usually avoided in a number of kinky forums.

4. There are some kinks that others are not comfortable with. Either let other know ahead of time via content or reputation, or ask the user if the kink is okay.

5. Avoid Metagaming/Powergaming. Metagaming involves using out-of-character knowledge to influence in-character decisions (aka Character C grabs a key that Character A only told Character B about despite being in different rooms). Powergaming involves an unfair advantage by either dictating another player's action or performing highly unrealistic actions (aka determining another character's personal inventory)

6. No "Killing" without good reason. Granted, Sebastian made bondage ghosts, but "killing" refers to termination of another's character which can also apply to inescapable bondage. "Kills" with vehicles or other large-scale devices also fall under this rule.

7. Respect the GM. They have put considerable time into crafting a world, so try not to overwrite small things like how healing work or big things like their plot unless the GM allows you to. However, don't be afraid to call out the GM if they are breaking the rules blatantly.

8. Do not make any additional accounts for roleplaying additional characters. The forums don't support that level of world-building yet.]]> These will be the rules for Roleplaying in the Product Placement section or any light Roleplaying outside that forum:

1. This is a forum to discuss about Sebastian Blackcat's art and other related kinks such as rubber, bondage and transformation. While there is some leeway to reenacting some kinks in the real world, the moderators and administrators are not interested in activities that are illegal, dangerous or damaging to a person. Posts that include overtly illegal acts (such as kidnapping), acts judged to be excessively dangerous (such as suspension by the neck), and damaging (such as permanent bondage or causing lasting injury) will be removed and may result in disciplinary action. Requests to engage in non-consensual activities (such as kidnapping a partner) will receive similar treatment. These decisions remain strictly within the discretion of the moderating team and are not subject to review.

2. Members are expected to post on topic when replying to any post, and should attempt to advance the discussion of the topic. Posts that are "Nope, haven't heard of that," or "Wow, that sounds cool" may occasionally be appropriate, but often create a type of "clutter" that can irritate other members.

3. Members are expected to demonstrate respect for each other and avoid "flames" or personal attacks. This is not to say that we cannot disagree with each other or that exchanges cannot become somewhat heated as a part of the discussion. However, posts that include name calling, derogatory statements, or other personal attacks will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action. We're here to have fun and enjoy so if you can't say it nicely...

4. Members will respect other members' desires for privacy, limitations on contact between members, and topics for discussion. Members who harass, annoy, or ignore the wishes of other members should expect to be banned. Note that this may be extended to Instant Messaging, e-mail, or other forms of communication outside of the messaging functions of this forum if the information provided here has been used to facilitate such activities. If you're making someone else uncomfortable and a moderator asks you to stop, we think it's serious and that it needs to be addressed.

5. Members are expected to handle their posts as though they were at a party with people they know and those they never met before in the same room. While the topics we discuss may be odd for a party, the idea that this is a social forum should be present in everyone's mind. We didn't come here to be judged, degraded, or laughed at (with - yes, at - no).

6. Members should feel free to try to handle any issues they encounter between themselves, however they will keep in mind that these posting guidelines extend to private messages or other communications related to this forum. If you can't or don't wish to resolve a problem with another member directly, contact one of the moderators and explain the issue as rationally and calmly as possible. Please also understand that it may take time for the moderators to respond, and that the moderators may not resolve the issue in the same manner that you recommend or prefer.

7. The moderators' say is final. In most cases, we will discuss the issue and reach a consensus. There are certain instances however that require immediate action. No matter the situation, once a decision is made it will not be reversed without a moderator consensus. Flames in public forums on the topic will not be tolerated, however you are permitted to petition the moderator staff privately (PM) in a professional manner.

8. If you are found to break these or any other posted rules, we'll contact you directly. Depending on the problem, disciplinary action may be taken. We don't want to do any of the above, but our goal is to keep this a pleasant place for everyone to visit.

9. Members should under no circumstances post copyrighted materials without permission at any time. This includes, but not limited to, images, text, videos or audio. Members will also refrain from encouraging this type illigeal activity in any public area. This includes posts requesting the exchange or forwarding of material protected under copyright in any manner. Members will not use this forum or any of its resources in an effort to obtain copyrighted material in a way that is not expressly authorized by the copyright holder. Instructions for linking to images can be found here. Please note that linking to copyrighted images displayed in a manner that does not make it clear that they are not under the control of the copyright holder is also forbidden. This includes posting content that would otherwise not be permitted to Imageshack, Picasa, MegaUpload, or similar sites and then linking here.

10. We respect the fact that some members join with the intent of informing members about their commercial web sites and activities. If you want to advertise with great frequency, Google, Yahoo!, and other companies have services for you. This is not an advertising service or site and we expect such members to:

Quote:
Only one account actively promoting a given site or sites is permitted. Multiple accounts that post links or "shill" to keep a topic on the list of topics with new posts will result in suspension of all such accounts.

Create a single thread in the "Links" forum that will contain all advertisements/updates for their site.

Only provide links to such sites within the appropriate context of replies to other threads.

Limit advertisements/updates to a reasonable frequency. The latter will be determined by the judgment of the moderators and the feedback of forum members. However, exceeding one such addition/update per week should generally be considered to be unacceptable under anything but extraordinary circumstances.

Signatures may contain links to commercial sites, but should be tasteful and limited to one or two such sites.

The moderators decisions on this matter are final and are not subject to review or challenge.

We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable place to come and exchange ideas on the topics we share interests in. Stick within the confines of these rules, and we'll all have a good time.]]> Here are some rules for posting in the forums:
