Forum Rules.

[[GM+]Forby]

Welcome to CashCow Online community.

This forum is for all Staff and players of what guidelines apply for both sites.

We have provided this space for you to hang out and exchange ideas with other CashCow members. We respect that you have your own opinions and ideas, and encourage you to share them here.

Occasionally, when people voice opinions, disagreements may arise. Be nice when disagreeing with others; debating the opinion is appropriate, but criticizing or attacking the person behind the opinion is not allowed. These work best when people treat each other with courtesy and respect. Be nice. Don’t be an ass.

The guidelines and rules listed below explain what behavior is expected of you and what behavior you can expect from other community members as well as Staff members. Note that the following guidelines are not exhaustive, and may not address all manner of offensive behavior. As such, CashCow has full discretion to address any behavior that they feel is inappropriate.

Your access to these forums is a “privilege,” and not a “right.” CashCow reserves the right to suspend your access at any time for reasons that include, but are not necessarily limited to, your failure to abide by these guidelines.

You must have an active CashCow account to post on our forums. Your forum account is linked to your game account. If you are suspended or banned from a game, you will not be able to post on the forums. As such, you are responsible for following not only these Forum Rules but also the CashCow Terms of Service and Community Guidelines at all times.

Here are some suggestions to help make your interactions on our forums more pleasant:

Make Your Point Clear and Concise
You’ll get better and faster replies if people can understand your posts. All posts/threads must be in English. Threads/Posts that are not in English may be deleted or closed. Avoid from using shorthand, "1337” speak, or other styles that are difficult for some people to understand.

Don't Double Post
Search to see if the topic has already been covered before creating a new thread.

Be Organized
Create threads in the appropriate forum section. For example, discussion of in game items should be posted to the Discussion section of the CashCow Forum. Incorrectly categorized posts may be moved or deleted by forum moderators (Staff members).

Be Relevant
Stay on topic. If a thread wanders too far from the original topic it may be closed or deleted.

Signature and Image Size Limits
Signatures and other images will be automatically resized so they do not exceed the maximum size limit. Ask the Staff members if you are not sure what the size limit is.

Be Yourself
Don't pretend to be someone you're not. Your account may be deleted if you impersonate others such as CashCow members and/or CashCow Staff member.

Keep Private Communications Private

Warnings and other account actions are not to be discussed on the forum. Such matters shall remain private between CashCow and the user. Questions or comments concerning your CashCow account status should be conveyed through our Staff members. Likewise, discussions regarding account actions are not permitted on the forum. If you have questions regarding a post or thread that has been removed or subject to other moderation, feel free to submit a pm to Staff members.

If you are suspended from the forums, your game account will be reviewed and you may be subject to a ban from the game as well.

Disrespectful behavior that is not allowed includes -- but is not limited to -- flaming, trolling, harassing, obscene profanity, abusive language or abbreviations, personal attacks, racial, religious, ethnic, sexual slurs, or similar behavior/language. This will not be tolerated!

In addition to the guidelines above, the following are specifically restricted:

* You may not create threads or posts that “petition” or “lobby” for game features, additions, changes, or other issues. Suggestions are welcome on the boards, but you may not create a “petition” for others to sign and you may not lobby (by, for example, bringing up the same topic repeatedly or posting off-topic in other threads).
* You may not create “quitting” threads. Just leave.
* You may not “blacklist” any person, guild, or group. If you feel someone has committed a Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, or Forum Rules violation, contact Staff immediately.
