Below are some simple rules that every member must follow.
They are set fairly to keep the game safe and child-friendly.
If anyone is caught breaking the in-game rules, immediate action will be
taken and it can result in a ban. If you have any questions about these rules,
I recommend speaking to either me or any of the active staff members,
other than that, keep complaints to yourself and restrain from discussing
them with other players unless you are directly speaking to staff.
Acceptable Language & Behaviour
- This game is aimed at ages from 13+, it is still quite a young age and bad language is not acceptable unless you are doing so in private and not in local chat. Explicit language is taken seriously and can result in a 3 to 4 week ban, although it is not that major, we would still appreciate the respect for our rules. We also ask that sexual activity within the game is kept AWAY from public maps, not only does it cause discomfort for surrounding players but it is also extremely rude. Please keep the "raping" and the "mating" to yourself and do so without an audience!
- Respect The Staff
The Staff within the game enforce the rules and use their time to prevent rule-breakers from causing trouble, but also work hard on making the game a better place for every member. If a Staff member confronts you about your actions or behaviour, you are to listen without a problem. Whether it's a small or big notice, the users within the game must respect the Staff at all costs, and under NOcircumstances talk down or show disrespect for them doing their job. If a Staff member must take action for whatever reason, such as a member showing disobedience and/or breaking any of the following rules, they are allowed to do so without any questions asked.
- Respect Each OtherIf in any situation you are caught harassing or throwing harsh and threatening words towards a member, (even if the casual "they started it" line is yelled), it will result in a warning/kick or even a ban. Staff will not sit around and wait to find out the story behind it, there is NO exception for this immature behaviour, if needed, you will be banned on the spot and staff will debate if your account should be terminated or not. Showing aggressiveness towards players is not acceptable and every member should respect one another no matter their age, gender or lifestyle. If anything, bullying is kept an eye on by every staff member and as soon as we detect a situation in which one may feel abused, there will be no doubt that the staff members will act quick.
- Discussion Of Bans And ReportsUnder any circumstance, you will NOT discuss bans and reports on the forum and/or within the game. If you are banned and you disagree with the reason, you have a choice of PMing a Staff member and they will look over the logs and they will decide whether or not you should be unbanned. If you believe you are banned by "mistake" or on "purpose" Staff will require proof of this, other than that, please keep these types of discussions to yourself and restrain from looking/seeking for attention.
- Keep The Usernames To An Appropriate LevelA username is your unique identity inside the game and on the site at all times, and we expect everyone to keep appropriate usernames for the game and site. If someone's username is found to be inappropriate, offensive, or abusive in any way, you may be warned, or in some cases even have your account terminated and/or banned. The same rules apply for character names within the game. If you are found with a lewd or offensive character name, you may be kicked/banned without questions.
- Acceptable Behaviour In ChatThe chats are abig part of Dark Moon, and it's a place the community shares TOGETHER. Any sort of spamming (especially spamming with caps) is discouraged, and may result in warnings, kicks, and even bans if it's excessive or done repeatedly. If you are also caught "trolling" and encouraging others to break the rules, you will be kicked/banned on spot. Causing havoc or unnecessary drama within the chats is also an unacceptable action and you can also be banned for this.
- No Map/Item ClaimingEvery map/item is created with the hard work of members within the community and the fact that other players may be claiming them as their own can be a bit of a hassle. We advise that you do not claim anything that isn't yours and ALWAYS give credit to those who created them (say if you requested a map to be made, you will need to add quoted credit to the maker, and the maker/user has the right to post pictures on the forum of their used or created creations). Map/Item Claiming can result in warnings and if you are excessively reported for fake claiming, you will be kicked from the game and may even be banned for a week.
- No Game File AlteringAny files that you see after downloading the game, you must NOT alter them. The files are to keep the game working and even if you alter them just a little, your game will lag and most likely not work. We advise that you leave the files alone any if you have any problems (the game isn't working, graphics are bad) you can email us a darkmoonsofficial@gmail.com and we will get round to answering your questions (only email us if it is an emergency, other than that your emails will be ignored, especially if it is spam.)
- Your AccountYour account is YOUR responsibility, we are not in charge if you lose your account. We expect you to take care of your login information and keep it to yourself. We do not take responsibility if you lend out your account, all we ask is that you keep your passwords safe. The maximum accounts allowed to be created are 2 and that's for a good reason, if Staff think you have over 2 accounts then that gives them the privilege to delete your account, you WILL be given a notice and can have your say if you think this is a mistake.
- Do Not Impersonate Staff Or Steal Other's CharacterThe Staff are here to help with the game and by impersonating them, it can lead to serious consequences and a lifetime ban. We do not appreciate ANYBODY impersonating a Staff member, same goes for stealing/copying characters. The game allows you to choose between different species of animals, ranging from a line of mythical creatures such as dragons and phoenix' and normal day-to-day animals such as birds, felines and canines. There is no excuse of stealing a character and claiming it as your own, and impersonating a staff member is looked down upon just as much.We appreciate all who follow these rules, as said above, they are set to keep the game safe and child-friendly.We are all looking forward to meeting you on the other side, enjoy the game and have fun!
