1. These are the English forums.
Please speak English, and English only. Using a translator is not acceptable if the quality of the translation is poor & makes the post difficult to understand.
2. Always post threads in the correct subforum.
If you don’t know where to post something, ask! Any Sentinel or Moderator will be happy to help.
MiceForce related threads belong in Discussions, and threads not relating to MiceForce belong in Off Topic.
3. Don't bump up threads unnecessarily.
If the last reply of a thread is older than two weeks and your post isn't adding something of value, please do not reply. Otherwise, it is considered necrobumping.
If you're unsure about whether your post would be considered a necrobump, feel free to contact a Sentinel or Moderator to double check.
4. Don’t double post.
Either wait for another person to reply before posting again, or use the edit button at the bottom of your post.
If you double post accidentally, please whisper a Sentinel or Moderator or report it to have your post deleted.
5. Don’t post duplicate threads.
If you do so accidentally, either whisper a Mod or Sentinel or report the thread and it will be locked or deleted.
6. Don’t spam the forums.
Your posts should add something relevant to the discussion and not be intended to annoy others. Sentinels will remove posts that they classify as “spam”.
Please report any spam thread you come across instead of posting in it as you may run the risk of being warned for it.
7. Don't spam smilies.
Excess smilies appear as spam-like and are unnecessary. Please only use them when they are appropriate.
8. Don’t swear excessively
While cursing isn’t against the rules, if you do so excessively it could result in punishment.
9. No flaming, harassing, or insulting other members.
Treat all users of the forum the way you would like to be treated. You should always respect the opinions and remarks of others regardless if you agree with them or not.
If a comment breaks the forum rules, please report the post rather than to react to it. Bullying, flaming, insulting, derogatory comments and defamation will not be tolerated. Users are meant to feel welcome on these forums, not belittled or intimidated.
10. No advertising.
Please don't try to recruit people to other games or advertise your own website, e.g. a fansite.
While we allow discussions about things that don't relate to Miceforce, we don't allow referring people to other games/forums etc.
11. Don’t post links to anything pornographic, illegal or pirated.
Links or images of anything inappropriate is a serious offense; People of all ages browse these forums, so please keep that in mind.
12. The forums are PG-13.
We don’t allow sexually explicit content in ANY form – fanfiction, images, gifs etc.
13. No inappropriate avatars.
Please remember this is a PG-13 forum and therefore your avatar should reflect this. If you are unsure whether your avatar would be acceptable, feel free to PM a Sentinel to check. If you did not create the avatar yourself, please ensure you have the permission of the author to use it.
14. Please try not to act like a Sentinel ("Backseat-moderating").
If you think a thread or post needs moderation, please contact a Sentinel via one of the ways listed on the Staff FAQ here. While we appreciate when you are being helpful to others, criticizing a particular user's behavior and giving instructions as a forum moderator would is unnecessary. Therefore, posts like "This thread needs locking." are not allowed and will most likely result in a warning.
15. Do not create a group/thread if a similar one already exists.
If somebody has already created a thread about a topic, please don't make another one; We don't need multiple threads about what effectively is the same thing.
16. Please obtain Sentinel permission to run a contest before creating a thread.
No one likes a contest that's poorly run or fizzles out part way through. To make sure this doesn't happen, we ask that you please ask a Sentinel for permission to run a contest beforehand so that we know that you have adequate preparation. Poorly made contests or ones without permission may get locked.
17. Moderators and Sentinels will deal with situations in the way they believe is appropriate.
Even if the situation is not addressed in the rules, Moderators and Sentinels are allowed to do what they believe is the best solution to the conflict, issue, or disruption. If you do not believe a situation was not resolved correctly, please contact a Moderator or Sentinel and it will be discussed.
If you'd like to complain about a Sentinel you should do so using the contact form.
The punishment given will vary on whether you repeatedly break a rule or the severity of the offense, so there are no set guidelines.
And remember, if you are seen to be ignoring any cautions, mutes or warnings the punishment is likely to increase!

If you need help with something, don’t hesitate to contact a Sentinel or a Moderator. As a general rule, please contact Sentinels for help with any forum issue, and Moderators for game-related issues. You can contact a Sentinel by whispering one in-game, or private messaging one on the forums.
If you want to flag a rule-breaking post for a Sentinel or Moderator to deal with, please press the author/avatar of the post you wish to report and choose 'Report.'
