SOE Forums Usage Guidelines: The Seven Daily Rules
SOE provides these Forums as a service to its subscribers, to
provide a friendly, positive family-oriented environment, where members
can help each other and exchange ideas, tips, information, and
techniques related to the game. Like any community, these Forums are
most valuable when everyone obeys certain basic guidelines and rules
for online behavior. These guidelines and rules are presented here so
that you know what is expected of you and what you can expect from
others. Please help keep the SOE Forums a clean and friendly community.
And, above all else, have fun!
Rule 1: We are all Here to Help The purpose of
these forums is to enable the members of the community to help each
other in a constructive and positive atmosphere. If you are new to the
forums and are unsure about anything, just ask! If you are an old hand
and see new participants joining the forums, please welcome them and
feel free to help them find their way!
Rule 2: Be Friendly and Courteous Everyone wants to
have a positive experience while on the Forums - please make sure that
you contribute to it. Please do not post anything harassing,
threatening, abusive, lewd, or inflammatory. Flaming people, products,
or organizations is never acceptable. Neither is trolling. Instead, be
friendly, helpful, and supportive.
Rule 3: Be Relevant Please stay on topic. These
Forums are provided to enable members to help each other in sharing
their passion for the game. Please refrain from discussing personal
matters, abusing any company or product, or, in general, from posting
in a manner unrelated to the direct purposes expected in the Forums.
Rule 4: Be Legal Please do not post anything
unlawful, libelous, defamatory, or that infringes upon any intellectual
property rights. Do not conduct any activity that may be illegal, or
harmful in any way, to people, to software or hardware, such as
hacking, flooding scripts viruses or Trojan horses. This includes
posting of any images in any form in our forums.
Rule 5: No Spam Please do not use the forums in any
way to promote third party services, products, websites, or
organizations. Spam is also posting repeatedly and off-topic in the
forums.
Rule 6: Enforcement Your participation in the
Forums is subject to modification, deletion, access limitation or ban,
by moderators, at their sole discretion, without notice or appeal.
While SOE does not generally monitor content, it retains the right, at
its sole discretion, to edit content and limit users' access that it
considers inappropriate. SOE is not responsible for any failure or
delay in taking such actions
Rule 7 Limitation of Liability You understand that
members like you contribute the content of these Forums, that SOE does
not control and is not responsible for it, and that SOE does not in any
way guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, legality or completeness of
any such content. You expressly agree that you bear all the risks
associated with such content and that SOE is not liable in any way for
such content, for its errors and omissions, and for any losses and
damage incurred as a result of accessing or using such content. These
Usage Guidelines are in addition to, and not in lieu of the rights and
obligations contained in SOE's Community Policies, SOE's Terms of Service, and the SOE Privacy Policy. SOE reserves the right to change its policies at any time.
