Okay, the rules on OHZ are pretty basic, so no one out there should have a hard time following them.
1. No double-posting. It's just as simple to modify your last post as it is to double-post, so be smart. However, you can post as many times as needed in the FanFic Section AS LONG AS the posts consist of chapters that you are adding to YOUR story.
2. No profanity. It is allowed in topics under the RP Topics section, but please do not use it in any of the other boards.
3. No spamming. Spamming is VERY annoying, and will not bode well here.
4. No god-modding. No character that you create can be totally invincible by any means. They must have some sort of weakness or flaw. Not even Super Sonic is totally invincible.
5. If you're going to join OHZ, at least make some posts. If you're just going to join and then never post, then I'll be happy to delete your account. If you're one of these people, then just don't join.
6. Please, don't necropost. If you don't know what this means, it means don't reply to topics that died out over six months ago. However, if it is an RP, and your or whoever you are RPing with started it, then it will be allowed. Any other reply to another topic must be approved by an admin.
7. We host SONIC TEAM material. If you have artwork, music, or stories that are not Sonic Team related, then please do no expect us to host them. That's what Newgrounds, DeviantArt, and Fanfiction.com are for.
8. Do NOT advertise in the boards. If you want to advertise either your site, or request affiliation, please PM whoever it is you are showing the site to, and if it is an affiliation request, PM it to an administrator.
9. No One-word Posts. Seriously, they're annoying, and you know it. Try to be more informative in your posts.
10. Post Pending. When you see this in a RP, DO NOT reply to that RP until the user has finished their post. This allows story progression to continue smoothly and uninterrupted in RP's with several+ members.
11. Please, keep any personal condition/status out of the C-Box or forums. If you're hospitalized or if something happened that is safe for guests to view, you can post it in the forums, but if it's private, please keep it strictly to PM's if you need to tell someone.
12. Keep a clean attitude. People won't know how you feel when you log in, but if they ask, tell them POLITELY, and keep it at that.
13. If you find yourself being harassed by another member, block them. If that fails, notify an admin or moderator, and they will take care of it.
Warnings have been held back lately, but now we will enforce the rules. Warnings will be carried out for those that disobey the rules here. If your Warning Level reaches 100, you will be banned. That simple. Your warning level will decrease throughout your warning period for you and others to see, so don't come asking me or another admin, "When will this warning disappear
" It'll take care of itself.
Punishments are as follows:
1. Minor Spam(Off-Topic in threads)/Minor Insult: For this, your account will show a warning for three days. After these three days have passed, your profile will have a clean slate. If you continue to misbehave, you will be banned for three days.
2. Spam(Non-relevant material, Advertising in threads)/Insult: For this, your account will show a warning for one week. After one week has passed, your warning will disappear. If you continue to misbehave, you will be banned for a week.
3. Starting Flame-Wars: You will not be given a warning, but banned for three days immediately. After three days have passed, you may log back in again.
4. NO SPAMMING THE C-BOX! If you spam the C-Box, you will immediately be banned for one day. This is seen quite a lot, actually, so don't be surprised if the member count drops for a day or two.
If you continue to be banned from the OHZ for misdemeanors, you will ultimately be banned from the site, and will not be able to return.
I hope that all of the members here will enjoy OHZ. Have fun!
