Because at least 2 people have been suspended in the last couple of weeks, I figured that many people are not aware of the Terms of Service that are presented to us when we register. For those wondering exactly what we can and cant do, here they are.


Terms of Service



Be Clean:
Adhere to decency and refrain from abusive or hateful language, while
cussing isn't censored, please don't direct the words towards someone in a hateful or demeaning way.



Be Nice:
No posting of material that antagonizes, harasses or creates hostility toward another user or group of.


Be Courteous:
No posting to purposely interfere with normal dialog flow.



Be Polite:
No targeting of another user by harassing or giving unwarranted attention to or attacking ones race or gender.


Be Prudent:
Before you post a message or question, check and see if this has been discussed before. This forum has a VERY good search engine, and nearly ALL questions have been archived for every game we have forums for.


Be Real:
We require the use of your real E-Mail address,
The password system insures no one can impersonate you. If you enter a fake email address, the system can't send you your password. We DO NOT give out email addresses nor do we sell them to any 3rd party. We hate spammers as much as you



Be Spam Free:
Please don't post the same material to multiple areas. posts like "me too" and 'no topic' posts are not allowed-- it's a waste of space. If you have a website, and would like to share it with others, that is fine, just don't post it to ALL the forums-it will be deleted. You may also put a URL in your Signature. Posting a message to Test
your sig is fine, but you only need to use up 1 post. You can edit your 1 post as many times as you wish. there is no need to post 10 messages testing your sig. Also,once you get it fixed, Delete the test post.
(You can delete your own posts).

Also, if you see a thread/post deleted or closed, please do not post a new message asking where the thread/post went or why it was closed. These types of questions can be answered by emailing your webmaster.



Be Sig Smart:
The larger your image in your sig, the longer it takes for others to load it. Don't forget, MANY people still use dial-up internet, and huge images take a LONG time to download. we allow the following as per signatures:


We allow 2 Images in your sig. But, we prefer you use 1 or combine the 2 into one image. If you use 1 image in your signature, you are allowed the image resolution to be 280x220, and no more than 150Kb in size.

If you wish to use 2 images, both images must be no larger than 280x220 combined in resolution, and 150Kb in size as well. Your text sig or 'tagline' must not exceed 300 characters as well.



Be Understanding:
We reserve the right to delete any message we feel violates any of these rules. Please report any abuse to the sysop. Repeated violation of any rules results in your termination, and IP Subnet ban.



Be Observant:
Read the instructions that are presented on the screen. Many frustrations can be avoided, by educating yourself on proper the usage of our system. If you have any questions though, email me and I'll help you out.


Be Trustworthy:
Do not post private email from others that you have received directly from them. If they want their words public, let them post it.



Be Responsible:
Do not post slanderous, libelous or any defamatory statements on the
Ironworks Gaming Forum, we will not be held responsible for your posts, but just the same, we'd rather not go there! Posts that appear to be defamatory should have supporting references included.



Be Careful:
Nobody at Ironworks Gaming will ask you for your password. Keep your
password in a safe place.





Warn before you Spoil:
A spoiler is something that reveals information about a plot twist
or the location of some object/character/hidden place in a game. Spoilers are by their nature subjective - you will need to use your judgment to determine what these are.
Many people in this forum talk about 'general' game issues, such as "What is the best party for whatever" or "Should I drop whoever from my group?".
These types of posts usually don't require spoilers as they are general information.
Other people might have specific game questions like "How do I get past so-and-so" or "Where is such-and-such". These would be considered posts requesting spoiler information. Some are obviously bigger spoilers than others.
There are also posts which refer to specific plot twists in the games here, A lot of people who come here do NOT know about certain plot twists which the rest of us might take for granted. Unmarked spoilers about these detract from these people's gaming experience. The majority of people don't like finding out about a plot twist before they were meant to. (Like someone telling you the ending of a movie
before you see it) As a courtesy to other board members who may not have gotten as far in the game as you have, please abide by the following when requesting or revealing spoiler information: Do NOT
reveal the spoiler in your title. Put a SPOILER
tag in the title so people know you will be revealing spoiler information.
Put spoiler spaces just before the part where you are revealing the information.






Ranks and Avatars:

The little words under your name that appear on the board is your current Ironworks Forum rank. Ranks are an indication of how many posts you have made - NOT of board seniority. Spamming to gain rank will not be tolerated. You will receive 1 warning, then a deduction in posts and rank.


At Ironworks Forum, our ranks are based on various People and characters in the AD&D, Egyptian, and other Universes. A 'complete' listing of available ranks is unknown, as the crafty board administrators like to add new ranks when the current ranks are getting 'old'. The order of these ranks does not mean one species or character is superior to another. The list extends several ranks higher than those currently known. There are also some 'surprise' ranks in there - keep an eye out for them!

Although the administrators and moderators of
the Ironworks Gaming Forum will attempt to keep all objectionable messages off this forum, it is impossible for us to review all messages. All messages express the views of the author, and the operators of Ironworks Gaming will not be held responsible for the content of any message. By clicking the Agree button, you agree that
you will not post any messages that are, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violate of any laws. The Ironworks Webmaster has the right to remove, Edit, Move or close any thread for any reason.

Why don't you delete the rankings? They're not right anyway.

Whether or not a post or thread complies with the terms of service is ultimately the decision of one of the Mods of the forum it is in, or Ziroc himself. They will either remove it or lock the thread if they believe that it is a serious violation of them.
