Just because we're all friends here doesn't mean that rules shouldn't be set. Just because you're an Owl doesn't mean that the rules don't abide to you. Whether you were a fledgling or a parliament, everyone has to follow the same set of rules, no exceptions. If you break enough of those rules, it will result in suspension or even a ban.

Don't use offensive or insulting language; don't flame or troll
Don't harass other users, especially if it's just because they're not part of the Night Owlz group
Don't misuse the report feature

Try to keep swearing to a minimum
- Some people are rather sensitive to swear words, and it's best not make them upset. Minor infractions will trigger the filter or the posts being edited or deleted; this also applies to getting around the filter. Excessive swearing will result in suspension.
Don't use offensive or insulting language; don't flame or troll
- We are trying to maintain a friendly environment. Intentionally provoking others is not a good practice; responding to these messages isn't helpful either. Simply ignore and report.
Don't harass other users, especially if it's just because they're not part of the Night Owlz group
- Yes this forum is dedicated to the Night Owlz, but that doesn't give you an excuse to tell someone off simply because they're not part of it. Be nice and courteous to others. If you feel that a non-Owlz member might be a potential troll or flamer, then contact the mods instead of making posts or topics about said user.
Don't misuse the report feature
- If you want to report a user or post, then do so with good reason. Don't simply report to mess around with the mods, or because someone disagrees with your opinion.
No NSFW content
- This includes pictures, videos, role plays, language, and all the like. Keep everything PG-13 including the role plays. If you want to show a user some NSFW? Then find another way to do so, but keep it off the website.
Try to refrain from posting personal information
- No you won't get suspended if you post your Skype or whatever, but it's not always safe to post personal information, especially on a forum where anyone can sign up. Be aware that anyone with an account can see this information if you post it on a topic and some may not have good intention once they have it. If you wish to give a user your account name of another website, or the like, then please post it via private message or off the site.
Please try to have one account at a time
- It's not a very strict rule, but having multiple accounts can confuse others and is generally frowned upon. If you regret having your chosen display name, you have the option to change it whenever you like in your settings.
- Not everyone has fast internet or a new computer. If you wish to post an image on the board, please have the maximum size at 600x600 on the boards; if you want to show a pic that's bigger, then link it instead. Images in signatures, however, cannot be more than 500 (width) by 230 (height)
