Frontier Guidelines
These are the rules and guidelines everyone is expected to follow. Staff are expected to enforce these, as well as provide a positive role model for the realization of the goals the Rules aim to further. The purpose and spirit of a rule, to be enforced regardless of technicalities, is bolded. Please note that these rules are subject to change at any time, for clarification and corrective purposes as needed; new rules, rare as they are, will be announced publicly before being implemented.
If any rules are unclear, or you disagree with their application, you may post a topic in the site suggestions forum or send a PT to Nowe, Redcoat, or Vydar.
1. No member of this board should feel belittled or insulted by Staff or other members; this extends to the simple exchange of respect between our players, as well as a special mention for discrimination: we are all equal regardless of role-play experience or our personal attributes (such as colour, nationality, sexual orientation, or class). We should maintain a strong community feel.
2. Any and all players should be encouraged and aided in their pursuits by their peers. Elitism is a social ill and will not be encouraged or tolerated; those who have made a mistake should be informed of it and taught to improve. This especially applies to the inexperienced.
3. In keeping with the above policy, no member should feel as though they cannot approach Staff with any concern. We are placed here to help you and do our jobs, and this requires that Staff remain approachable and helpful. If you feel that a staff member has abused their power, you are urged to contact Nowe, Redcoat, or Vithar immediately, and by any channel available.
4. All complaints and issues are to be dealt with in a calm, logical and respectful manner by Staff and members, depending on the case at hand. Sometimes, a firm hand is required, but it should serve as a last resort, behind diplomatic options.
5. RPGF's operations are to be maintained tidily and smoothly. This means that:
6. We require that illegal, quasi-illegal, damaging or distasteful material not be posted. It is required to uphold our TOS as a condition of our hosting; we must also abide by American law as we are hosted in the United States (in addition to the laws of the states of Florida and Texas). Any materials of a nature incongruous with this policy, or in violation of our hosting TOS or the law of the United States, will be destroyed with extreme prejudice, and breaches of the law will be reported to the proper authority. Note that materials illegal in other countries may also be removed or reported on a case-by-case basis, but in practice, this policy will probably apply to materials illegal anywhere.
7. Despite the above, this is a privately owned board. Our word here is law. We will, however, try to be reasonable, and we bind ourselves to these policies.

5. RPGF's operations are to be maintained tidily and smoothly. This means that:
- Spamming forums isn't allowed.
- PT advertising is prohibited.
- Avatars should be under 50 KB (this is enforced by the software).
- Signatures should remain under a certain length. Remember that [spoiler] tags can hide information you may want to include, which is perfectly acceptable.
- Signatures and avatars should remain non-offensive and tasteful. Note that free speech does to an extent apply.
- You should use the Report CP to report problem incidents only.
- You shouldn't do things that are annoying!
