Terms Of Service & Forum/Server Rules

MuEurope Terms Of Service (including Server and Forum rules).

Welcome to MuEurope Forums! We do insist that you abide by the rules and policies detailed below.

MuEurope is a community formed by the members of the MuEurope game server and has a variety of users, from fresh joined newbies to veteran players. The MuEurope forums is a place where it's okay to be yourself as long as you always act with respect for your fellow members as well as the MuEurope Staff. You are not expected to leave your personality at the door. There are going to be topics and discussions that will have heated debates. Please think before you post and re-read what you type before you post it. Keep your comments limited to the debate at hand and do not make this a personal issue between you and another member.

- - - Forum Rules - - -

- You're responsible for your account and there're no excuses if "your friend" spammed, insulted with your account. The account owner pays all the consequences that the account does.

- It is NOT allowed to advertise another MU server. Advertising another MU server may result in both in-game and forum account removal without any notice.

- Flaming (insulting each other), Degrading comments, Racism, Swearing will not be tolerated in this forum. Falling in each one of those will result in account warning and/or account suspension depending on the gravity of each. Also, adjoining negative attidutes will come across punishments such as warning and/or account suspensions, depending on the case.

- Spam is NOT allowed. Spam will result in user Warning. In case of repeated spam the MuEurope staff may proceed in further warning, even account suspension and the posts amount will be reduced by the double of the total spam posts that the user had. However you are allowed to participate in spam games created by an admin, or a staff member, but always by following the specific game rules.

- Double posting is NOT allowed. Double posting will result in user Warning.

- Cross-Posting is not allowed. Do not post the same discussion more than once on a discussion forum or on many forums. Duplicate discussions are frustrating and counterproductive for other members, especially for those whose time and energy is limited. Duplicate discussions will be deleted.

- No Abuse of the PM system. Personal Messaging is provided to the members of MuEurope as a service intended to enhance the Community experience. The purpose of personal messaging is to allow for discreet conversations to take place between members. This privilege is not to be abused! Solicitation, spamming, or harassment of any kind is strictly forbidden. Any member receiving an inappropriate personal message should forward that message to an Administrator or Moderator right away. Although PM's are normally only accessible by those who send and receive them, they are part of the database and as such, property of MuEurope. An Administrator, if so inclined, could locate the Private Messages in the database and read them. They are private, but not necessarily secret. In addition, Private Messages are not intended to deprive the Community of valuable information or experiences which could benefit the entire group. Please do not use private messages if the content of the message can be helpful to others.

- Misuse of the "Insults" section can result in a ban of forum and/or game account depending on the case. Ban Time can vary from one(1) to three(3) days, depending on the case.

- Users are NOT allowed to criticize any MuEurope staff member (includes all ranked members in the forum) or insult them in an useless way, they must mind that it was an Admin designing them, and they can get punished for their actions. Insults and repeated insults to staff can lead to a ban for one(1) day to a permanent ban (depending on the gravity, in-game accounts may be punished as well). If u wish to complain for a member of the staff or an admin send a PM to another admin with valid arguments. False accusations may lead even to a permanent ban (both in forum and in-game).

- Check forums at least once a week, for updates, news, quests. It is enough that a guild member informs the guild about the news. People who say "i didn't know about this, i didn't read" will not be tolerated.

- Signatures

As 'signature' is refered, both images and text u may have in your signature area.

Maximum allowed size for a signature is 600x225 pixels. If size rules are violated, the user will be warned to 10% and advised to remove it within 3 days, once removed the warn will be lowered. If the signature wont be resized within the 3 days, the warn will be raised to 30% and his whole signature will be removed without further notice.

- Country Forums

All general forum rules are also valid for country forums. Furthermore:

The only language allowed is the one of the country forum itself, except for advices from admins and purposes for new mods and so on which can be done in english.

- If you're banned from the auto-script, or found in Dupe Logs, you can still ask for being unbanned, if you think it was an unfair ban, remember to ask kindly.

- - - Legal Issues - - -

- Copyrighted Material

Information copyrighted or owned by any individual or entity other than the member should not be posted on the discussion forumss without the consent of the owner. If such an event occurs, the individual posting the information shall be held solely responsible. MuEurope shall not be held responsible for member-posted information that may violate copyright law.

You cannot legally post entire articles or news in the forum without permission from the copyright holder. Even if you attribute the article correctly it�s still copyright infringement. Copyright law does not care if you make any money off of the work or not, what matters is if you hurt the potential income of the copyright holder. In this case you would be depriving them of ad revenue and it is illegal. Under Fair Use provisions you can legally post a small abstract of an article - or perhaps the opening paragraph. So if you want to post an article you should do this and include a link, or just post the link. The exception to this rule is press releases; press releases are meant for distribution and can be copied and distributed as much as you want. If you are not sure if you can copy something then always err on the side of caution and simply post a link to the material.

- Explict content

Posts containing explicit, obscene or vulgar language will be removed. Similarly, posts that solicit or offer explicit or X-rated GIFs, JPEGs or similar content files will be deleted without notice! Links to Websites with adult content/images anywhere on the site will be removed. Remember that there are also children using these forums so be cautious on what your posts contain.

If you choose to ignore this request, we cannot be held responsible for the consequences. First Name, Age, Gender, Location, and Birthday are all optional upon registration. As stated above, only email address, username, and password are required. Please know privacy is very important to us; we will never divulge your email address to anyone without first asking your consent. If you get "spam" emails from a member (this can occur if you check "Yes" for show email on the registration page) please report the email address to us so we can investigate.

MuEurope and its assigned agents reserves the right to remove a post which does not relate to the topic being discussed in the forum. In addition, MuEurope reserves the right to organize discussion forums in order to best serve the majority of our members. For example, narrow-interest or minimal activity topics may, at MuEurope discretion, be relocated to a more appropriate discussion forum, or deleted entirely. MuEurope or its assigned agents also reserves the right to prohibit or delete discussions that are thought to violate applicable law or that may be harmful to other members, the sites that comprise MuEurope or the rights of MuEurope or others. That said, we cannot ensure prompt removal of offending discussion forum posts. We also reserve the right to remove your membership from you should you violate these Guidelines.
