Rules of etiquette at the Unseen Servant

#1 Post by ToniXX »

The goal of The Unseen Servant is to provide a helpful and supportive forum for RPG play by post games and RPG-related discussions. With that in mind, we have developed the following Rules to help you better understand what is and what is not acceptable behavior on this site.
  1. Be respectful of other forum members, whether they are users, moderators or administrators, and of people in general. If you can't be polite, you don't belong here.
  2. Do not insult, engage in name-calling, or demean anyone's intelligence or character. Sarcasm or jest may be taken seriously. Remember that written communication is much different than speaking face to face. Don't make your humor personal, as it will most likely be misunderstood.
  3. Do not denigrate anyone's playing style or preferred gaming system. While this forum has attracted a good amount of ‘old-school’ gamers, all systems and genres are acceptable here, as long as it’s an RPG and suitable to the play by post style.
  4. No posting links to copyrighted documents (e.g. scanned rule books), not-free software, etc. Also, if it is not safe for work, then do not post it. EXCESSIVE profanity or profanity just for the sake of it, pornography or links to such material are not acceptable. If you’re not sure if you should post something, then it’s probably a good idea to NOT post it.
  5. Profanity within your game is perfectly acceptable, but just as a courtesy, let your players be aware of it before you start a game, just in case. And most of all, don't direct any profanity towards other players.
  6. Discussion of real-world politics and religion is discouraged. If you want to discuss politics or religion as it relates to some other aspect of your life, there are other forums in which to do so.
  7. No trolling or flaming. This should go without saying. If you’re here, you’re most likely an intelligent person and are capable of civil conversation. If you want to troll or flame just because, put the bottle or pipe down and go outside. If you come across trolling/flaming behavior, please inform a moderator.
  8. One account per person, please. If you are discovered to have started a different account to circumvent these rules, your accounts will be deleted and your IP range banned. If you think a member has multiple accounts, contact a moderator.
  9. There are no expectations on users to run games, play in games, or anything besides have fun. If you want to GM a game, that’s great, just let a moderator or admin know.
  10. All of the above rules apply to all aspects of this forum: thread posting, private messaging, and chat.
