Forum Rules

[Emmie]

Welcome to the MnF Club Forums. Thanks for joining us!

If you're new to this forum, then know that you are joining lots of free-spirited, creative, intelligent, funny, and of course sexy people. Also, even though there isn't a lot taken too seriously here, the one thing we all do take seriously is the idea that everyone deserves a chance to be heard and contribute. These rules, based on the MnF Club Terms of Service, are meant to allow just that to happen.


Forum Rules


First, please read the forum FAQ as it answers several in-game and forum questions.


Adults Only

You MUST be 18 years of age or older to participate here. If the moderators have any reason to believe that a user is underage, they reserve the right to place necessary restrictions to that account, up to and including permanent bans. Posting a reference to your age being under 18 that the moderators believe to be true is sufficient enough grounds for this.

The following are not permitted anywhere on this forum, including private messages:

• Photos or videos of anyone under 18 years of age (based on age when the picture was taken) of ANY kind.
  
• Visual depictions of anyone under 18 years of age, including (but not limited to) drawings, paintings, videos, cartoons, manga, hentai or anime.
  
• Textual references to any adult/sexual behavior for characters under 18 years of age whether fictional or real.
  
• Images or videos of illegal behavior, including (but not limited to) violence, bestiality, rape or pedophilia.
  
• Supporting, condoning or encouraging any illegal activity or behavior including the above.
  

General Conduct

We are generally very forgiving of newcomers as long as they aren't rude or disruptive. Again, we have a lot of free spirits here and that freedom has resulted in some amazing posts and threads. However, while free speech is indeed encouraged here, abuse is not. Therefore, we ask the following to keep things running smoothly:

1. No spam or advertisements. Links to personal projects are permitted in your profile. Any other link postings MUST be cleared with a moderator first. In general, charitable and/or MnF-related projects will be permitted here, but this is left to the moderator team's discretion. Spammers/advertisers may be banned, and their posts removed, without warning.
   
2. No trolling or other low-content posts. With over 5000 registered users on this forum, posts which contain only "lol", "hi", etc., can litter up the forums quickly. As a rule of thumb, write as if you were speaking in real life to another human being in front of you. Replies containing trolling or other intentionally inflammatory remarks do not belong here. Off-topic posts should be kept to a minimum, and consistent and deliberate off-topic posts also are considered low-content posts. This rule will be enforced more closely for older threads which are resurrected after a long-term hiatus, particularly events which have long since concluded.
   
3. No racist, sexist, homophobic or other prejudicial language. A zero-tolerance policy for hate speech of any kind is in effect on this forum. Note that hate speech does not necessarily include profanity, so long as there is other relevant content in the post. MnF Club should be a place where BBC quad-horsecock futas are as welcome as anyone else. That said, no racial, ethnic, gendered or orientated slurs of any kind are permitted here, including usernames. The decision on what is offensive is left to the moderator reading it.
   
4. Respect other forum users. We understand that not everyone here is going to like each other. You have a right to disagree with anyone you choose, but harassment is not allowed on this forum, whether through PMs, public posts or any other medium. Do not bring personal issues into public forum posts. Do not post another person's name, phone number, address, email, photograph, video or any other media. People on this forum have different boundaries between real life and the internet. Respect them all. If you believe a person crossed a line in interacting with you, it is best to click the "Report" button at the bottom of the offending post.
   
5. Respect the MnF Club Team. This includes the forum mods, in-game mods and Vadim. Do not insult, harass or otherwise intentionally annoy them. All moderator instructions are to be followed in threads. In general, the posts of the in-game moderation team and mnf_vadim are NOT moderated. If they post something antagonistic or even offensive, the forum mods generally let the post stand. You may question any forum mod decision made by posting in the Feedback, Miscellaneous & Help subforum as long as you are civil, explain your point, and detail your opinion on it. We do not allow discussion of in-game warnings or bans on this forum. You may ask for more information on a ban in this thread. If you are unable to be civil, please do not post here.
   
6. Do not hack or otherwise abuse this forum. You will be banned for posting malicious links (any URL with spyware or code designed to annoy people). Spamming negative (or positive) reputation is not allowed, and any reputation ratings deemed in violation of any of the rules may be deleted.
   
7. All alternate accounts MUST be approved by the moderator team before using them. If a user is caught using multiple accounts en bloc to hijack conversations, harass forum users, or disrupt this forum in any way, the moderation team reserves the right to intervene, up to and including banning and identifying banned alts as such. Please notify staff immediately via the Support form if you believe your account has been hacked. Do not share your account, as you are responsible for the actions of any other person using your account.
   
8. Can't post a thread yet and want to? Ask a moderator (or a friend). Due to issues with spammers, you cannot post threads until you reach 11 posts on this forum, and you are limited to 5 posts a day until then. However, with few exceptions, threads may be posted on your behalf by moderators or friends. Do NOT request this of forum users you are not already acquainted with.
   
9. Do not use this forum to advertise/request real currency trades. This is not allowed in any form or shape. There is no way for the MnF team to refund or help you if a trade between two players, using real currency, goes wrong. Neither forum or game has any features to assist with such trades, They are not allowed. If you see someone attempting this, please report them.
   
10. Other subforums and threads may have rules of their own. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all of these rules apply in all subforums and threads.
    
11. Do not try to cleverly get around some rule listed here. These are general guidelines for behaving in a way that ensures as many people as possible are able to use this forum. The moderator team reserves the right to intervene for reasons not expressly stated above, and the rules above are subject to change without notice. In all cases, the spirit of the rule is enforced over the text.
    

What happens if a rule is broken?

• Minor breaches of forum rules may be met with forum warnings, which restrict access to this forum in various ways. These restrictions may be temporary or permanent, depending on the severity.
  
• Serious or consistent breaches of forum rules may be issued bans. Bans are permanent. Only 10 bans in the past year (at this writing) have occurred for non-spam reasons; this is not done often. Do not attempt to post on the forums or in private messages under a different account if you are banned. If you do anyway and are caught, that account will also be banned. If you have been banned and believe this was in error, please send a message to Support.
  
• Other interventions may be also be considered at the moderator team's discretion. These include (but are not limited to) requiring a user's posts to be approved by the moderation team before posting or revoking posting rights entirely.
  
• If you believe a forum user has violated one of the above rules, please click the "Report" button at the bottom of the offending post.
  
• As above, if you disagree with a forum moderator's decision, including closing threads, you may question it either in the Feedback, Miscellaneous & Help subforum or through Support if you are banned. Again, do not attempt to post on the forums or in private messages under a different account if you are banned, as this will guarantee your concerns will not be addressed.
  
• Once again, the moderator team reserves the right to intervene for reasons not expressly stated above, and all infractions are handled on a case-by-case basis.
  

This forum is blessed to have a diverse group of users from various countries and walks of life. These rules are meant to foster open communication between them all and include as many of them as possible in discussions on this forum.

Again, thank you for joining us. Enjoy your stay on the forums!

I'd like to add this:

If you are banned from the forums and believe this ban is not warranted, I would use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page and/or the Support link to contact the devs directly.

Posting on the forums about your ban under a separate account while the first ban is in effect would not be recommended, particularly since bans for offenses like consistent trolling, illegal content, etc. are permanent as stated above. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means we don't want you back because you've somehow managed to severely infuriate a group of people who like chatting about sex and/or the price of back bacon.

There is a very similar topic on the FAQ, but for in-game bans, I added that the same applies if you're banned on the forum! There is also a link there. ^^

Back bacon? Never heard of that... (Sorry for hijacking)

Here is a screenshot, just so you know I'm not making shit up.

   

Please don't block this account just for providing proof of something.

This is what happens when you copy&paste a text for your own purposes without actually reading it

Hey folks! I'd like to remind everyone that the most important sentence in the rules as they stand now is this:

"Free speech is supported - abuse is not."

We expect discussion to be heated at times. But at no point are personal attacks ever warranted on these forums. I've seen a number of people complaining about how they got banned in-game with some very nasty comments, and I have this advice for you if you're considering posting a rant like those:

Do not do this.

The Support email at team.mnfclub@gmail.com should always be your first stop if you're banned. Even if the ban was totally out of line, going on a tirade on these forums will only get you banned here. We allow only one place to speak about in-game bans on this forum, and that is the Account Ban thread.

If you post anywhere else about your bans and how you think they're unfair, this will result in a thread/post deletion and at least a warning. If you do this again, or question a forum mod's decision regarding a deletion, you will be banned. As stated in the account ban thread above, you may also PM a forum mod for information. However, if you insult, harass or otherwise annoy an in-game or forum mod here, you will be warned or banned; likely the latter.

Also, since people seem to think they can get away with this... another reason not to post about your bans?

Lying about a ban reason will ALWAYS get you banned.

Not only does that create a firestorm of people for/against the ban, it's a doubly pointless flame war because the reason being discussed had nothing to do with the ban! We're not top-tier mods like those Blizzard folks, but we're not stupid. Don't do it.

Only 12 people have been banned for reasons other than spamming on this forum as of 11-16-2016. We're fairly easy-going for such an active player base. Disagreements happen. Discussion is welcome. Disrespect is not.

Please don't add to that list.

The forum rules have been updated. A lot of this might seem new, particularly the stuff about low-content posts. But the reality is that we've been enforcing these rules all along. The only difference is that now, what we consider to be "abuse" is clearly stated. Just listen to anyone with a pink, blue or green name and you're fine.

here, i'll give you some advice about how to lie about in-game bans on this forum.
