THC

Welcome to Silkroad Addiction Forum. To ensure your stay is pleasant, there are a set of simple rules and guidelines that every member are expected to abide by.


[Basic Forum Rules]

A1] No spamming or illegal advertising.
A2] Flaming other members based on their age, race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, appearance, or disability will not be tolerated.
A3] No posting of executable files without prior authorization from a member of SRA staff. Intentional posting of a malicious file will result in a permanent ban.


[Silkroad Related]

S1] No selling of game accounts for cash is permitted. You may, however, trade or give accounts away.
S2] PK2 editing is generally allowed on this forum. However, be aware that they are generally against the ToS of the version of SRO you are playing, so do so at your own risk.


[Bot Related]

B1] Do not post a download link to a bot.
B2] Do not flame other people for not botting.
B3] Do not persuade others to bot.

We prohibit the discussion of botting. If you must, then do it privately in PM or elsewhere. If you think someone bots, do not post evidence of another member's botting with the intent of getting him or her banned, since we don't conduct witch hunts here. We want a sense of community, not one of distrust. We are not the Silkroad Police either; we don't care what people do inside the game or in real life. We have jurisdiction only on what happens on SRA. If a person abides by the rules of the forum and is a good contributing member, then he or she can remain as a member of SRA.


[Flaming]

We take pride for being a unique forum. We generally allow flaming but with certain restrictions, usually as long as it doesn't violate the rules stated above. We do realize that this is a forum, where the exchange of information takes place at a rapid pace. There will be inevitably be arguments, heated debates, guild rivalries, and flames. Many people are inherently not very tactful and have participated in flames to some degree. Therefore, SRA's staff will not intervene unless they feel that it is necessary or if it goes too far. Note that you also have the option of adding a person to your ignore list in the UserCP.


[Signature]

Please keep your signatures at a reasonable size. If you use a huge or inappropriate sig, we will let you know. If you violate the rule again, the ability for you to use a sig will be disabled.


[Elastic Clause]

We like to keep our rules short and simple. However, rules that are not explicitly stated do not mean that you are welcome to do it with our blessing. You will usually be warned if you violate any rules not explicitly stated, except in severe cases where it would defy common sense. We reserve the right to take any administrative action deem appropriate, based on a case-by-case basis. We also have the right not to take action against a person who violates a rule, depending on the circumstances. People who have a pattern of rules violations may be subjected, up to, a temporary or permanent ban. We do not like banning people, and as such, we will try to be as reasonable and as fair as possible to everyone. Unless the offense is very serious, everyone gets a 120-day ban, for we believe in second chances. However, that does not mean your records will be wiped clean, as you will be under stricter scrutiny for any misconduct.

Fly

Flaming:
Flaming is allowed! But with a catch.

You may flame a person for:
1. Being a dumbass.
2. Being a an annoying prick.

You may NOT flame a person for:
1. Being new.
2. Being clueless.
3. Asking questions.
4. Not using search button.


Why are you allowed to flame dumbasses and annoying pricks?

Cuz u can and should. Sometimes people need to be pwned in order to be put in there place. Feel free to pwn them.


Why are you NOT allowed to flame new and clueless people with questions?

Because they are here to learn and become part of the community. The search button is nice if you want to find something. If someone new does not want to use the search button, he/she does not have to. Sometimes topics that answer a question are pushed to the back of the forum. Sometimes the information is outdated. Sometimes there question is more specific to there needs. If you don’t want to answer it, then don’t. But do not go into their posts and be a smart ass and post a not so cute picture of a search button.


Is there any other kinds of acceptable flaming?

There is 1 other kind of acceptable flaming not covered by the above rules. That is competitive flaming between rival guilds. Here at SRA you are allowed to make a post about how "guild X" got pwned in a guild war cuz they are a bunch of rejects who fight like little girls.

That’s all. Go have fun. Remember, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Kick them in the balls instead and eventually you will weed out all stupidity on earth.
