Forum Rules - Read before posting!

[admin]

1) Each member may have only ONE account. Additional accounts will be removed! Non-society members may also create a single forum account here. It is strongly recommended that you use part or all of your avatar name as your display name for the forum so that we know who you are. DO NOT use your Entropia Universe login/password for this or any other forum when creating your account.

2) Flaming, insults, discrimination, degradation, real-world threats, excessive profanity and other unnecessary rude and obscene behavior is not allowed and WILL NOT be tolerated.

3) No spamming/trolling. If you wish to advertise something, do so in an appropriate manner by creating your own thread. If you wish to increase your post count, do so by posting relevant information.

4) Do not gossip or whine excessively. Word your posts constructively.

5) Post in the appropriate section of the forum. If you cannot find a proper place for your thread/post, feel free to suggest a new forum category in the "about" section of the forum, or send a PM to an administrator.

6) Do not publicly post private discussions or air dirty laundry. This includes any discussions that take place in PMs and in the private society forums. If you need to use a PM or private discussion to prove a scam or other such activity, then the information should be sent privately to a ranking Michigan Militia authority, or posted on the private section of the forum. It is not in our best interest to risk ruining the reputation of an individual over a simple misunderstanding, or one who may very well be innocent altogether.

7) Do not make posts that are against the Entropia Universe EULA. This includes, but is not limited to, harrassing other PE/EU participants, degrading/impersonating MindArk staff, encouraging or discussing your use of unapproved third party software that interacts with Entropia Universe, scamming/cheating, or any other activities that break the EULA for Entropia Universe.

8.) No promoting of pornography, drugs, or other illegal activities. The administration of this forum will not be held responisble if evidence from this forum is used against you by any legal party, and any such information stored on the forum's server will be disclosed to authorities if you are using this forum as a tool for any illegal activities.

9) Please refrain from discussing notoriously controversial topics. Such topics include, but are not limited to: religion, war, politics, abortion, and other similar topics. Everyone has their own very strong, deep-rooted opinions regarding these issues, and bringing up such topics with someone who may disagree with your personal views on the subject can cause extremely bitter and hostile arguments. Such topics have absolutely nothing to do with Entropia Universe or our society, and should, for the most part, be avoided for the sake of keeping our members friendly towards one another.

10) Please post using the English language. While some of our members are also fluent in other languages, not everyone is. Posting in a language that others on the forum may not understand without providing a proper translation may not only be considered rude, but may create a lot of extra work for the moderators of the forum if your post has to be translated to determine whether it is appropriate for this forum.

11) NO SPAMBOTS. We do not need ads for male enhancement, viagra, pornography, extra sharp kitchen knives that can cut through steel then slice a tomato, or any other such irrelevant nonsense. We also do not need to hear your sob story about how your uncle in your home country passed away and how you need to be able to transfer his estate's funds to a U.S. bank account in order to claim your much-needed inheritance, nor are we interested in how much you are willing to pay us to assist you in transferring these funds. This forum is for Michigan Militia Society members and members of Entropia Universe, or members who may potentially be interested in joining either one of these groups, and posts made on this forum should be relevant in some way to these topics.

12) This forum has several different "forum membergroups" for members of different branches of our society. These groups are meant to give Militia society members access to private areas for discussion of internal society matters. It is possible to apply for a forum membergroup upon registering an account at this forum by joining the corresponding applicant group. Please note that these applicant groups DO NOT give access to the private society boards; the purpose of the applicant groups is only to alert an administrator that you have applied for a particular forum group. These groups are ONLY for members of branches of the Michigan Militia society; if you are registering for the forum and do not belong to a branch of the Michigan Militia society, DO NOT apply for one of these membergroups. Applying to a private forum group may result in a ban from the forum if it is determined that you are not a member of one of the society's groups and that the application was intentional.

This list of rules will be updated as needed. If you are unsure about a rule or post, or have suggestions or questions, feel free to open a discussion in the "about the Michigan Militia forum" section or send a moderator/administrator a PM.
