New Forum Code of Conduct
There is a new code of conduct that has been posted. Please use this thread to discuss the new code posted here.
Please make yourself aware of this new system. The new system will be going in place on December 30th, 2010.
Moderators and staff will be following this code in a strict manner. Permanent forum bans will not be lifted and permanent bans and excessive violations here will result in your in-game accounts being closed as well.
This new system is designed to take the gray area away from forum moderation. Having stricter rules for acting mature will result in a better community. It will also result in us being able to add in positive reinforcement for new features in the future without having to make "special cases".
Follow the rules or be warned through points and infractions. Accumulate enough of them and you will be removed.
Previous infractions will still remain, even though their old and obsolete point values have been removed. We will look to remove some previous infractions, from the last couple of months, in a show of good faith to you at some point in the future.

How do i know if i have any infractions?
Is there any way to check?
Sorry if question seems bit stupid.
It's not, if you go to your public profile page, you can view your infractions.
Your page is located here: http://forum.z8games.com/member.php?u=9135309
You have none! -

like this. It's EXTREMELY annoying & should have atleast 1 or 2 points.
There is no need for that example. And that can go under the forum rule violation (minor). It will be added to the forum rules.
Understand that there is not an infraction for every forum rule violation. These levels and point values are assigned for specific ones based on repeat offenders and conduct that EVERYONE should know as being mature and civil on any board system.
As mentioned, any specific forum rule violation can be determined by severity and assigned a warning/infraction based on that. -

Saidin, well lets say I report this person saying things in BR language in-game, can I report him to the suppbot system?? or theres no point in it?
I feel offended getting called gringao or porra, not to mention fdp and so on. -
Another suggestion that I told to [MOD]Polleus was a FAQ. A FULL FAQ, I feel that ours is way too out-dated, there are plenty of other frequently asked questions that are just answered in posts, even well, but that are closed immediately and so other members may not see the reply properly.
I think that by sticking a FAQ about the game, completely updated, would be a plus to our community, in order to avoid further trolling threads related to issues that are already replied, therefore preventing unnecessary infractions. -

There is nothing stopping you from submitting offensive comments (hate etc) from other languages to the support system.
In the same way we would also infract that person on the forums for that language we would take action. (keep in mind that the above announcement is for forum conduct) -

Agreed here User. We'll be doing a lot of FAQ game and site and forum stuff in early 2011. Thanks for the suggestion. -

Don't forget to tell them to put that in Portuguese also!

KK all jokes aside it's a good Idea. Would get rid of threads that ask the same thing EVERYday -
This game for being free. Has and had an amazing start. But has so much more room for expansion ect. Understandable it's also had its down falls but what game doesn't.Indeed it will, would love to see more implemented into the actual game itself later on this year.

Just an FYI, one of the reasons why we are doing these changes is so that the moderators no longer need to distinguish between members of the community.
All members should be and will be treated equal, whether you are a 2 year vet or a brand new player. In the past there has been a gray area when handing down discipline that was abused by all sides. This new system will eliminate that.
These rules have been posted in advance (by a few hours) so that people currently on the boards can have some time to absorb the new conduct changes. Not so that they can abuse/break them. -
humm btw can u ban people for stalking you in game and vote kick you on every game?
and How do I report people for insulting?
I'd consider it harassment, so I would report with that ground.
Just take a screenshot of when people insult you, and report it through the support ticket similarly to a hack report. -
