Forbidden Actions

Flame: Expressing anger at someone in uncouth ways with OOC comments (i.e. swearing, being obnoxious, threatening etc.)though it does to watch what you post IC as well unless the other posters know you're not serious. Flaming in the forums should be reported in the Moderation forum, in the game itself, through Getting Help Page.

Flamebait: Posts that are made with the aim of angering someone indirectly. Not an outright flame, but still liable to bring angry replies. It's in the same context of trolling but with flame baiting, it's just the one person.

Godmoding and (puppet) Multiing: See RP Rules and Guidelines

Gravedigging: Posting a reply on a long-disused thread; bumping threads that aren't used anymore without good reason.

Griefing: Harassing a nation because of what they did or said.

Account Hijacking: Stealing someone else's account by gaining their password. This should be reported by TG to a Moderator's nation.

Obscenities: Sexually graphic images and posts. Very strictly forbidden. Obscenities in the forums should be reported to this forum.

Quote Pyramids: When replies with quotes get quoted and then that reply get's quoted and so on and so forth. It's OK if it's just a few quotes but once they start getting monstrously huge, it is not OK.

Spam/SPAM: Off-topic, irrelevant and multi-posts that clog the board. This includes posting lots of smilies which is known as Smilie Spam. Spamming in the forums should be reported through this forum.

Thread Hijacking: Appropriating a thread for a discussion totally unrelated to the original purpose of the said thread.

Trolling: Posts that are made with the aim of angering people. (like 'ALL JEWS ARE [insert vile comment here]' for example). Also is used to refer to making obviously silly topics that people nonetheless will reply to. (making a case for the proof that Teletubbies exist for instance. There will always be someone who feels compelled to post 'No they don't.' Threads like this should just be ignored.)

Trollbaiting: Posts that are made to attract trolls.

Moderators will try to use discretion and common sense about these offences while the board is small. However offensive posting or activities that break the Invisionfree terms of service cannot be allowed.
