Game and Forum Guidelines update - ONE UBB ACCOUNT ONLY

Post by Azroen » Jan 27th 2008 01:00

Dear Players,

I would like to draw your attention to two new updates to the TR (and Forum) Guidelines:
Use of Forum Accounts:

Creation of Multiple Forum Accounts (portal accounts):
Due to the abuse of some with their multiple forum accounts we will no longer allow the creation of multiple forum accounts. While this has been allowed for some time and has enhanced role playing on the forums, this change will make it easier for players and reduce the work load of the TR staff.

The policy on Forum Accounts is now:

Every player is allowed to create and use 1 forum account. This account is intended to be used for posting on the forums as well as the creation of their mages on the individual game servers. Creating additional forum accounts to hide one's identity is not allowed.

Those that create more than one forums account will have their newest account deactivated. If this account has mages created on it then those mages will be forfeit. Furthermore, the original account will face penalties ranging from temporary posting bans for first offense to longer and even permanent bans for multiple offenses. If multiple accounts are created in order to harass other players then the punishments will be more harsh.

Those that currently have multiple forum accounts MUST do the following:
  • Choose the forum account that you wish to keep.
  • Contact a Global Moderator or the TR Coordinator (Azroen) and indicate that you have more than 1 forum account. Include the names of *all* forum accounts.
  • If you have active mages on an account that you do not wish to keep, state this in your message. You will be allowed to keep this account until the server(s) reset, when you can then create your mage with the account that you wish to keep.
We urge players to do this so that any misunderstandings can be avoided, and that we do not delete the wrong account by mistake.

Players that wish to change their forum account name must contact a Global Moderator or the TR Coordinator (Azroen) requesting this BEFORE the creation of their new account. Instructions for the change will be given at that time. Repeated requests to change one's forum account name will be denied.
  • Spam
    • Messages that are off topic or that have no purpose other than to raise one's post count without contributing to a topic are considered spam. Posting links to off site locations in order to benefit in some way is also considered spam. "Light" spam may be allowed in the General Assembly boards. No spam will be tolerated in the Programmer's Corner areas.
Thank you!
Former.
