From SCross
Acceptable Use Policy(AUP)
Rule 1: The idea of this game is to enjoy yourself. If you're really not having fun with the game, there comes a time where you may want to consider other options. Let's be honest, there are hundreds of games out there. I can't guarantee that this one is the one for you. This in mind, it would be better for people to find the one that works for them instead of remaining on the first one that catches their eye and driving everyone else insane with insistences to alter things that have already been declared as not changing, or to gripe endlessly.
Rule 2: RP(Role-Play) will not come and find you as a rule. You must go find it. All pleas of 'I'm bored' will be completely ignored if you are located inside your home or other private location. Get out, go to where other people are, use the trace and fa command, there's no excuse most of the time for people to be alone.
Rule 3: Harassment isn't cool. However, it's not harassing until the harasee(the one being harassed) asks the harasser to stop, politely. A simple 'Please don't bother me' should suffice. If you have a beef with someone who has requested a cessation of contact, you may, if needed, ask staff to mediate between you two and hopefully resolve the argument.
Rule 4: There is no promise of any kind of any privacy on this electronic medium. In addition, this game does not offer security or other features, it is highly suggested you not swap sensitive information.
Rule 5: All things created on this game stay on this game as part of the game under the collective copyright, ownership, and benefit of the current players of the game. In this vein, code that is produced here is to remain on this game and only on this game, no permission to port, modify, back engineer, or otherwise gain access to the code on any other platform than this game is permitted.
Rule 6: If you have an idea or a complaint, post it to the suggestion board. Be polite, consise, and clear. As your staff, we want to provide a game you can enjoy, we can't do that if you don't express yourself. In addition, it is recommended that you join the mailing list at groups.yahoo.com/group/Southerncross
Rule 7: Playing here is a privilege, not a right. Membership in this game can be revoked at any time for any reason. These reasons include but are not limited to, harassment of other players, harassment of staff, attempting to hack the game and/or cheat.
Rule 8: No playing of copyrighted characters. This includes Final Fantasy and those from other games, series, books, novellas, movies, TV shows, radio shows, and other sources of characters.
Rule 9: If you are playing a feature character, that being, a character who began with over 50 XP over the usual(100 at the time of writing) XP or who is in a position of importance(leader of a faction, the regent, a judicator), you must log in at least an hour a day, preferably more, or the character is under risk of removal.
Rule 10: Did we mention the idea of this game is to have fun?
