§2. Community & Contact

1. Every user has to obligate the nettiquette. This means:

1.3 Treat all players the you want to be treated, as long as this obligates the other rules. Even if you do not like someone, but go out of his/her way rather than provoking him/her or let him/her provoke you.

1.4 Arguments shall be resolved in a private way, not openly on public platforms like this forum.

1.5 Fascist, pornographic and other illegal or inappropriate material are forbidden on the whole forum.

2. Label ironic or sarcastic comments in the forum, so that they are understood as this. One way of labeling these is by enclosing the sentence or sentences between a [IRONY] and a [/IRONY].

3. Abstain the excessive usage of capital letters, punctuation, smilies and the expandation of words or any other possibility of endangering the readability. Avoid the usage of symbols not used in the english language and the substitution of letters by figures (Such known LEET / 1337).

§3. Opening a new topic

1. Before posting, use the search at the top right of the forum as well as the wiki.

2. Choose an appropriate title when opening a new topic. Titles like "Help!" "Bug!" or "I have a question!" aren't helpful at all and an answer may take a lot longer.

3. Stay at the topic of the thread - If another question or idea or bug arises in the discussion, open a new thread.

4. If you see a double posting, contact a moderator to delete every but one thread of these.

7. Copyrighted contents may only be published in the forum with the consent of the owner. As mentioned in §1.5 the owner and team of Magoia can't be held responsible for this, however they do their best to remove these posts from the forum.

Also signatures may not be any larger than 1,5mb and animations should be kept basic and at the minimum. A maximum of 2 pictures / second are allowed, unless it is a proper transition. Also, an animated signature may not use more than 3 pictures, unless it is a proper transition.

4. Pictures, which are inserted into the forum, may not hinder the readability of the forum and should be kept in an appropriate size. Oversized and any other spoiling pictures will be edited or removed by the moderators.

§5. Information about the rules in relation to the moderator team

1. The moderator team is a voluntary team. Insults against the whole or parts of the team - including the forum team - will be punished in with the discretion of the responsible person. Leader of the moderator team is the super-moderator.

2. Several warnings may end up in a ban from the forum, in serious cases a direct ban may be applied. This ban may be temporary or permanently. Every case will be considered individually. It is prohibited to register with another name to circulate this ban.

3. If you feel the punishment applied was unjustified, contact the appropriate moderator who punished you. If you aren't satisfied afterwards, contact the responsible super-moderator (if at the time none exists, skip this step). He/she will have a closer look on the case. This may take several days. The last authority you can contact is the community manager. His decision is final. The PMs and IGMs may be passed around within the team to study the case.

4. If you have a complaint about a moderator, contact his super-moderator. If you have a complaint about a super-moderator, contact the community-manager. The contacted person will decide about the legitimacy of the case and complaint and may take action as a result.

If these rules disagree to the terms and conditions the terms and condition have priority.
We reserve the right to change or expand the rules.
