Silkroad Online Forums

Greetings SRFers:

While the overwhelming majority of our users have no problem simply acting within SRF's rules, it seems that some of us feel the need to perpetually push the boundaries of what is accepted. I want to make it perfectly clear that this will NOT be tolerated here, and that continuing to defy the rules will get you permamently banned from this forum. Don't wanna be banned? DON'T DO THESE THINGS.

• 1) Be a bot supporter. Change your avatar to the pointy-finger bot symbol. Put "0x33" somewhere in your sig. Talk openly about, admit to, or suggest botting in a thread. Ask about how to buy, offer to sell, or post links to bot clients, etc. DOING ANY OF THESE THINGS WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN. There will be no warnings. There will be no discussion. There is ZERO tolerance.
  
• 2) Be a bigot. Post SS of globals, whispers, or other interactions with a member of a particular race, nationality, religion, sex, etc. that is meant to defame, degrade, or ridicule them for being a member of that class. Make threads about how much you hate people from X and how they are ruining the game for you. Put racist slogans, images, etc. in your sig/avatar. Screw it up once and you get a warning. Ignore that warning and you will lose the right to post, display signatures, etc. Continue to defy and you will be banned, period.
  
• 3) Disrespect the SRF staff. Blatantly defy a request or instruction from a mod. Post comments about a mod's inability to do their job properly after being modded. Refuse to comply with forum standards after being warned by a mod for an infraction. The three-strike rule is in effect here as well. Insulting a mod via PM counts too. Don't think you can get away with it. The staff here devotes a lot of time on a volunteer basis to keep this forum a nice place to visit and a nice community to be a part of. Push this issue and you will be banned.
  
• 4) Remake an account after being banned once for one of the above. We will keep deleting your posts and banning your IPs. You will run out of patience and proxies before we run out of the desire to keep you out. It takes you 10x as long to remake as it does us to ban. Making an alternate identity with which to flame, spam, etc. will cause both accounts to be banned.
  
• 5) Be a constant problem. Flame in nearly every post. Accuse everyone who starts a topic of being a bot. Spam ridiculous nonsense at any opportunity. Do stupid things to intentionally a) piss off the mod team or b) piss off another forum member. Inflate your post count with garbage. Post disturbing, inappropriate, or NSFW (not safe for work) images in threads, avatars, sigs, etc. If you intentionally make more work for us, you'll find yourself banned.

***IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN A MEMBER HERE. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY POSTS YOU HAVE. IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. IF YOU DO THESE THINGS, YOU ARE GONE. END OF STORY.***


The SRF staff would like to thank those of you who simply follow the rules. You are the reason we continue to do what we do. For those who don't like the rules? LEAVE.
