The Rules

Last updated: June 23rd, 2007
ACCOUNTS
  • Only one account per person is allowed. You may not create multiple accounts.
  • If your account is suspended or banned, you may not create a new account as long as your original one still exists.
  • If you previously created an account, but it no longer exists, you may create a new one.

  • Attempting to gain access to others' accounts, especially attempting to get their passwords, is specifically disallowed and will result in permanent suspension.

  • You may not buy, sell, or give away your Creature World membership (this is primarily because of the one-account rule). You may give away the contents of your account, but the account itself must remain your own.


CONTENT
  • Obscene/inappropriate content is not allowed on this site.
    • Photos, videos, or text containing nudity or that are sexually explicit
    • Graphic and violent content
    • Threats to another user.
    • Any content that is illegal under U.S. law.
    Posting such content will result in a warning, and if repeated, suspension.

  • # Unsolicited advertising, whether for your shop, club, or website, may not be conducted by mail or posted in the Forums or in the Shoutbox.
    Doing so will result in a warning, and if repeated, suspension.
    The Advertising Agency is designed for this purpose. Please use it.
  • Please refrain from making personal attacks on fellow members on the public forums. Continued violations will result in a warning leading to suspension.
  • Signatures images are limited to 450 x 175 pixels and 40kb, or 7 lines of text



Games & Cheating
  • For games and activities requiring you to find an answer (i.e. Billionaire, Trivia):
    • You may not ask for answers
    • You may not distribute answers
    • You may not enter the answers for your friends, etc. One person, one answer.


  • Users are not allowed to run lotteries in their shop without staff permission. No exceptions. Lots of people are scammed this way, and the admins are sick of it. Ask an admin before you do it, or you risk punishment.
  • Knowingly exploiting software bugs or other problems with the site is not allowed and will result in punishment that varies by the severity of the crime.
  • Using programs designed to do things on the game for you - refreshers, auto-shoppers, etc - are usually not allowed, except by permission. If you have a program you think might be allowed, contact an administrator for permission. Use of such programs will result in punishment that varies by the severity of the use.



If you receive 3 official warnings, your account may be automatically suspended. Warnings are removed after 1 month, if no further warnings are incurred.

"Ignorance is the law is not license to break it":
In other words, "I didn't know it was against the rules" is not a valid excuse.
