Below is a list of rules & guidelines for being a member of this forum,
we dont wish to impose rules but as time has gone on and things have happened, we realise we need some rules and guides to make it a safe and comfortable environment for all.

When you join please only use you characters name without rank included in the name, because unless you are a merging person from our previous version or it has previously been agreed, we are now going to be assigning rank and duty upon new people registering. Rank will be displayed as your member status and appear under your name in your profile and threads. This allows us to work as a federation would promoting and demoting as would be, and control the fact of too many high ranking officers, too many ships, and no crews.

Unless it is a roleplay argument, ie for fun and not real, we do not accept nor tolerate any kind of drama, we are here for fun not trouble and intend to keep it that way. Any instances of drama will be investigated and instantly squashed. We are operating on a 3 strikes and out rule, so guilty parties and those who join soley to create drama beware.

We will constantly be monitoring the threads to make sure everyone is happy and everyone is involved and has something to do and that there is no "out of character drama".
If you see anyone causing drama or being abusive toward someone, please feel free to let the admins know, but no tattle tails that would create drama where it could be avoided. We will do our best to resolve things in a peaceful manner for all concerned/involved.

We do have a 'make it up as you go along' policy but we would still like you to stick within the realms of the original story, if you are unsure ask in our help section, all ideas are welcome and chances are will be accepted, but we do not expect people to go above their rank and start making decisions or story twists above their posts, another reason why rank is being assigned, and why we have seperated from fb as there are so many variations conflicting.

If you are a member of another fb group, or other roleplay then we ask that you keep them seperate, do not confuse the two stories, we have our version and what happens in our vs the others has no relevance what so ever.

We would like everyone to get to know people and feel free to talk "out of character" but so not to disrupt the actual roleplay and confuse storylines, we have a seperate "OOC" Forum for people to communicate in their ordinary selves and would appreciate if this was used for that purpose so that we can keep stories flowing.

Undoubtably we will ammend or add new guidelines as they become appropriate and neeeded, but our main rule is be safe and have fun.

Thankyou for reading, enjoy.
