Celestia Luna Rule

General Rules
General Rules apply In-Game and on the Forums.
They're mostly common sense but we feel they need to be mentioned anyway.
Please read them all and remember that these rules are here for YOUR benefit.

Common Sense
This one isn't tough guys. If you think what your doing might be wrong or could get you in trouble, there's a good chance you're right.
As such, if you have found a way to be disruptive or unfair that isn't specifically listed in the rules, you may still be punished under this rule.
Punishment may range from a Verbal Warning to a Permanent Ban.

Appropriate Speech
Again, this comes down to common sense. Don't use language that someone might find offensive.
For clarity, the following types of speech are expressly forbidden:

• Hate Speech - Harassing someone based on their race, gender, nationality, sexuality, religion, etc.
• Advertising - Attempting to get players to join another server or game not owned by Celestia Games. Even mentioning another server will get you in trouble.
• Swearing - (See Grief Play and Harassment)
• Anti-Celestia - Saying our server or staff suck is a quick way to get banned. We're not forcing you to play here, if you feel so strongly just go.

Punishment may range from a 5 Day Ban to a Permanent Ban.
In regular chat or PM, you will need to warn them first and provide a screenshot proving you did.
Breaking any of these in shout will be an Instant Ban.
Advertising and Anti-Celestia are both Permanent Bans.

Impersonation
This is pretending to be someone else without their permission.
Pretending to be a Celestia Games Staff Member is expressly forbidden.
This includes names prefixed with GM, Staff, etc.
Permanent ban in every case.

Spam
Spam is unwanted, unnecessary or annoying messages.
On the forums, Spam can be:

• Single word replies
• Smileys with no words
• Any conversation better suited for Private Messages or Off-Topic
• A similar or identical message posted multiple times.
• Derailing a Topic - Posting something not related to the topic.

In-Game, Spam can be:

• Repeating a message in shout over and over in a short period of time
• All caps in shout
• Flooding in shout(repeating a symbol or word like @@@@@@, !!!!!, wmwmwmwm)
• Non-English shouts
• Asking to be unbanned

Typically the punishment is a 5 day Ban for in-game and an increased warning on the forums, but repeat or extreme offenders may recieve any punishment up to a Permanent Ban.
Asking to be unbanned in-game will result in getting a kick.

Scamming
Scamming is misleading other players for any purpose.
Trading in Fake or "Hacked" items (Blessed Pukerian Scroll, Rough Diamond, Rein Hacked items, etc) counts as scamming.
Permanent Ban in every case.
Note: If you find or accidentally buy a Rein-Hacked item, please report it immediately to a GM.

Unfair Advantages
Anything that gives you an advantage over other players that a normal player can't get.
This includes:

• "Hacking"/Bug Exploiting - If you happen to find a bug, report it and DON'T use it.
• 3rd Party Software/Hardware - Bots, Macros, anything that gives you an advantage that you couldn't do as a human.
• Having any of the Illegal items on this list - http://forum.celesti...al-and-illegal/
• Recieving illegal items from a GM ( Small gifts are acceptable like an EXP scroll to welcome you to the server )
• Exploiting the Vote System ( Creating Multiple Vote Accounts/Multi-Voting or using Proxies/Proxy-Voting )
• Anything a GM feels unbalances the game in your favor.

Here's a small list of Bug Exploits that we currently know about:

• Reinforce Hacking
• Item Duping
• Fast Respawning in PVP or Guild Wars
• Teleporting out of the Duel box.

And just because it isn't on this list doesn't mean you won't get banned for it, so REPORT ANY BUGS YOU FIND!
Permanent Ban in every case.

Grief Play and Harassment
Grief Play/Harassment is playing in a way to upset or ruin someone elses play.
This includes:

• [Warning Needed] Swearing at someone
• [Warning Needed] Spamming someone with unwanted pms or messages
• [Warning Needed] Insulting someone or following them around when they don't want it
• [Warning Needed] Kill Stealing (KS. Attacking another players target without permission)
• [No Warning Needed] Spot Claiming
• [No Warning Needed] Assulting someone's character (such as "Don't buy from zxy123 because he's a liar and cheat")
• [No Warning Needed] Mob Dropping (gathering an agressive mob near another player then logging off, teleporting or dying)
• [No Warning Needed] Anything else a GM justify's as Grief Play or Harassment

Punishment is typically a Ban between 5-15 days. Repeated or extreme cases will result in a Permanent Ban.
Harassing staff will result in a Ban for however long they feel necessary.
For the rules requiring warnings, you will need to provide at LEAST 2 screenshots.
One of you warning them to stop, and the second showing that they didn't.

Real Money Trading (RMT)
RMT counts as any transfer of real world currency, credit or items and is forbidden.
Permanent Ban in every case.

Account Trading
Account and Character Trading is strictly forbidden, especially if it's for another game.
We don't care if you share your account but we will NOT handle account disputes.
If anyone using your account breaks the rules, you will be held responsible and may lose ALL your accounts.
Permanent Ban in every case.

International Players
As an international server, we welcome and respect all players no matter where they come from or what language they speak.
That being said, English is the only accepted language in shout and on the forums.
This is because our staff speaks english and so do most of the players.
You can speak whatever language you want in normal chat and PM's.
The following threads are for their respective languages:

• Indonesian - http://forum.celesti...onesian-chat-d/
• Malaysian - http://forum.celesti...sian-bhsa-rojk/
• Pinoy - http://forum.celesti...yign-and-level/

If you want to start a thread for another language, please contact a GM or Moderator first.
Typical Punishment for shouting in another language 5 day ban or an increased warn level on the forums.
Repeat offenders will recieve harsher punishments up to and including a Permanent Ban.

Forum Behavior
There has been an alarming ammount of forum abuse so let's make this perfectly clear.
The following is STRICTLY PROHIBITED:

• Asking to be Unbanned - 5 Days ADDED to your Ban
• Asking why you were banned in a topic - 5 Days ADDED to your Ban
• Posting in the wrong forum - Increased Warn
• Filing false reports - Permanent Ban
• Having large signatures (Anything larger than 500 x 300) - Spoiler Tags
• Inappropriate signatures - Increased Warn + Removed Signature
• Speedbumping (Bumping a topic within 24 hours of your last post) - Increased Warn
• Multi-Posting (Posting more than once in a row) - Increased Warn
• Necro-Posting (Posting in an old topic without a good reason) - Increased Warn

And Remember:

• Use the correct format for reports etc
• Upload all images to a public webhost (photobucket, etc)
• If you look under the name of each forum, there is a description of what's acceptable to post there.
• The Report buttons in Profiles and in topics is for Reporting THAT player or THAT topic of abuse. It is NOT for reporting in-game characters or anything else, there's a whole forum for that.
• If you are genuinely not sure why you were banned and don't think you've broken any of these rules, send a Private Message to a GM.
• Do not ask to be unbanned under any circumstances, you were banned for a reason and must live with your punishment.

Other-Game Trading (OGT)
Trading between Celestian Games and other games is forbidden as it counts as a form of advertising.
Permanent Ban in every case.
