Rules
Not knowing the rules does not excuse any individual (players to admins) from following the rules.
Players
Players, please do not see the rules as restrictions, the rules were highly designed with your (or other player's) protection and interests in mind.
Creators
Creators are not allowed to execute any extra punishment besides what is stated in the rules. This is to protect the players from any excessive punishments that may be carried out without sufficient reason. If an unexpected and unwanted player behavior has been observed and a rule has not been anticipated for the behavior, and the behavior requires immediate response, creators must employ an appropriate disciplinary action (as listed in help discipline) to deal with the situation.
Creators who administer punishments are required to log the actions they carry out, including the events leading up to the punishment. If new rules are created due to a lack of precedent, they should also be logged and a news message should be issued. Creators are expected to be role models that players can acknowledge. Violations of rules may result in demotion, being fired from creatorhood, and even being banned. Please take the rules seriously.
Misinterpretations and Questions
Any lack of clarity in these rules should be reported as soon as possible for the administration to update the rules files. Such questions and comments regarding the rules should be noted on the balance board.
Disclaimer
Administration reserves the right to alter any of the rules without 'prior warning'. Announcements will be given after it is changed. Rules changes apply immediately; not having read the rules is not a valid excuse.
