Basic Rules
- Report harassment and otherwise 'creepy' behavior to the staff. This includes requests for personally identifying information, soliciting money in private, and so on. Your safety is our top priority here. Please keep in mind that if someone harasses you, they may harass others.
- Be polite, be civil, be respectful. Just because something is not expressly forbidden, does not mean that we will tolerate it. If you are constantly rude, inconsiderate, or otherwise act like a jerk, we will smack your privileges around until you get the hint and behave. If you cannot behave, you will be directed elsewhere. The guidelines cover a number of the behaviors that we have wised to over the past few years.
- You agree that you are over eighteen years of age. Nationality does not matter, US and state law covers the distribution of pornographic material. If we find out that you are not at least eighteen, your access will be stripped.
- This server is governed by the laws of the United States and the state of Illinois. Videos and photos of bestiality are therefore not permitted, nor is warez, illegal pdfs or mp3s, and so on. Threats will be dealt with accordingly. Photos, videos, and other evidence exploitation of minors will be reported to the authorities.
- One person per account, one account per person. Do not share your account with others, do not try to sign up under multiple accounts. If you share a machine with another Elliquiy member, be explicit about this, and be prepared to wait a bit longer.
- You will not reveal identifiable details about another person on these boards without their express permission that a God or Goddess has seen. This includes names and photos of non-members. No personal or contact information of any sort is allowed in the public area of the site, even if it is yours, without staff permission.
- All sexual role playing must involve physically and mentally mature characters. They must be sixteen years of age or over, and/or the physical and mental equivalent. Banned role playing and story subjects include lolicon, shotacon, or any other form of sexualizing prepubescent minors.
- Adult material stays in the private parts of the site. The public areas include the ShoutBox, #Elliquiy in IRC, and the left column of forums (all forums visible to unapproved members). Linking to adult material is permitted if declared as adult / not safe for work (nsfw). This is somewhat relaxed in the Wanted area of the forums.
- Other individual parts of the site may have their own rules. Please respect them. See the guidelines for an elaboration on many of these policies.
Policy and Legal
• To clarify the second and ninth rule, we have written the guidelines, along with basic rules for major portions of the site. For most people, they are obvious, but people who grossly violate the tenets expressed there will be disciplined accordingly.
• Vekseid, the owner and administrator of this site, takes no responsibility for any posts not his own. Likewise, the staff is responsible only for the posts that they themselves make. See the disclaimer for details. By browsing this site you agree that the poster is the only person responsible for the content that they post, and to be responsible for your own posts and works. All postings and messages here are fully logged, with IP addresses, and you understand that authorities may be contacted if the situation warrants it.
See the policy for our privacy and other codified policies. Violation policy is covered there, but to summarize:
• Gross rule violations may net an immediate ban. Some things just are not done.
• If rule violations are repeated, or if the violation is severe, a staff member may issue a warning. If the user has already been warned recently or the staff believes the violation warrants it, the user will be 'castrated' instead, meaning that they now have eunuch access. This restricted access setting is more difficult to use Elliquiy with, and many features are disabled, but the user will still be able to participate in their games.
