SFH Guild Rules
click here for the extended rules.
SUSPENDABLE OFFENSES: If you were suspended... it was probably
for one of the following reasons..
NOTE: If you break 2 of these rules at the same time, you will be suspended for a minimum
of two days. If you break 3+ of these rules at the same time, you will be automatically banned.
THREE STIKES -- You're Out.. If you break 3 rules over time, you will be banned from
the guild.
- Arguing with Council/Special Faeries.
If council deletes one of your messages, they had a reason to do so. If you automatically
get defensive about people deleting your messages instead of kindly asking where your
message went, council or special faeries might suspend you. Automatically getting defensive
about missing/deleted messages is considered rude. It tells the council/special faeries that
you either do not care about the rules/ or did not read them. Either way, it is disrespectful
towards the council/special faeries to create anything they deem to be problematic.
- Disrespecting Council/Special Faeries/The Guild/Members.
If council and/or special faeries feel you have been disrespectful to them, they have
a right to suspend you for one day. They don't have to explain their thoughts to you
either. Remember, this council was voted by you. And, if you cannot respect the people
you voted for, you do not deserve to be apart of the guild. If you have a complaint about
why you were suspended, contact other council with your questions..
These rules also apply to how you treat other members and the guild in general. If
council and/or special faeries thing you have been disrespectful to anyone, you run the
chance of being suspended.
Remember, the best rule is to treat everyone exactly how you wish to be
treated. This is the best way to avoid disrespecting the guild, the council, special
faeries or any other member of the guild.
- Continuously using hard to read or annoying fonts/colors.
We ask that people do not use hard to read fonts. We will automatically delete any
messages that we see that are against the rules. If someone continuously uses unacceptable
fonts, we will suspend them. Any fonts that the admin team finds hard to read will be
considered against the guild's rules.
You can modify your chat font preferences here: http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/preferences.phtml.
We expect all guild members to alter their chat preferences in accordance with guild rules.
Most members that would use fonts before the guild changes would save their preferences
in files on their computers. This can be done too. Save your NeoBoard Font chat preferences
and Guild Font chat preferences in file on your computer so it's easy to change between
fonts.
SIGNATURES:
We ask that you use only ONE signature. If you use the signature space provided on the
Chat Preferences
page, then do not include a signature in your main content of your guild messages. Also,
signatures are NOT to include advertisements like beauty contests, shops, or trade lots
at any time. If needed, you must alter your signature along with your font when you want
to post in the guild. Signatures can also be saved in a file on your computer.
The ONLY acceptable use of any font types that are against the rules above are for
signatures only. We are not here to stifle your personality; but, we do not want to see a
whole post that is hard to read. Please keep any font changes/styles to your signature to
reflect your personality.
- Informing people that they are breaking the rules or directing people to the rules..
ONLY council and special faeries are allowed to inform people of the rules and tell
another when they have broken the rules. No exceptions.
SPAM: Short Pointless -OR- Annoying Messages
IMPORTANT: Continuously ignoring any of these rules could
result in a 1 day suspension.
Message length: Try to have your post three FULL lines or longer when typing.
Pressing 'return' or 'enter' key to get to the next line will not count towards the 3
line minimum... the three lines are to be three lines of text that wrap automatically
when you type in the message box should we copy/paste the content of the message into a new
message box....
SO: What is Spam...?
SPAM = Short Pointless Annoying Messages
We ask that you try to keep your posts at least three FULL lines long when you are
typing it.
TIP: A way to avoid spam is to combine what you say to people in one message.
Sometimes
you can answer many messages in 1 message. :)
FAQ: Why does the council care about spam?
Answer: This guild is growing fast & there are a lot of active members. When a lot of
people post spam, then *50* pages of messages can be created within a few hours time. Most
people don't have the time to get through *5* pages of messages, so we ask that people make
an effort to post as little spam as possible.
The council will delete any messages they deem to be spam w/o any explanation.
ALSO: We request that no one try to inform others of when they are spamming.
It creates extra messages & tension that can be avoided.
Do not post is ALL CAPS either. Any posts that are in all caps will be deleted.
Signatures do not count towards the content of your message. So, your message
MUST be three lines or longer before you put your signature. We also suggest that
your signature be no longer than 2 lines.
Counting your messages or stating how many you currently have does NOT count
towards your message content. We do not want to see people counting their messages in
effort just to get their post totals up. Any messages that include post countings will
be considered spam and deleted.
When someone new joins the guild, do NOT direct them to the guild rules page. It is
the job of council & special faerie helpers to inform new people of the rules. Any messages
posted directing any newbies to the rules page will be considered spam and deleted.
GENERAL: Many Other Important Rules...
-
ANY AIM CHATS ARE NOT IN ANY WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE GUILD. Enter at YOUR OWN RISK
-
If you talk lik dis, n we haf 2 tink bout wut u talkin bout. We will delete your messages.
Any messages writen in slang, chat speak, or l337 speak that cannot be understood easily
will be considered spam - and deleted.
-
Do NOT ask if any contests are happening. This guild is NOT about contests. If you cannot
pay attention to see if anything is happening, then you have not been active in the guild.
-
Do not ask someone to lend you their items in hopes of getting avatars. We do not allow or
recommend people sharing their items with others. People HAVE and do run off with items.
-
Your shop is never to collect donations or NPs on behalf of the guild. No member is
ever allowed to advertise the acceptance of neopoints or items though their shop,
neopet website, or personal websites. We will ban anyone that is asking for neopoint or
item donations to be sent to their personal account "on behalf of the Soup Faerie Helpers
Guild."
-
Please do not ask for items you do not need. As this guild is always growing, we
will not be able to provide for the truly needy if we are always giving to people that
want just want items for free.
-
Please do not neomail us asking for items. We will not respond to any requests
neomailed me. We cannot keep up with requests received via neomail as we receive many
neomails each day.
-
Please do not expect items that are extremely expensive. 90-100% of the people
in the guild are not neopian millionaires! (Though, we all wish we were...) Not many
people can afford to give away items worth more than 2,000NPs. If you do ask, and do
not receive what you request, it is most likely due to the fact that no one could
afford your request.
-
Please do not get upset if no one sends you the items you request. There are
usually a lot of posts each day on the message board. People may not send you what you
request as they may not have seen your post. People may not reply to your post if they
do not have the items you request. We cannot fill all requests.
-
Please use the trading post. If you wish to trade with someone, please trade
via the trading post! This way you can be assured that you don't get "scammed" or
taken advantage of.
-
You are not to advertise any guilds and/or websites outside of Neopets.
-
Advertising your shop, trades, neopet website, or neopet beauty contest entry is acceptable. However,
you are only allowed to advertise in maximum of ONE post a day. If you are going to advertise
any or all of the allowed, it must be included in your ONE post a day.
-
No foul language, offensive, or suggestive language will be tolerated.
-
When you are bored, or alone at the guild, it is not necessary to post a lot of messages
just to pass time. People tend not to like to read a lot of "unnecessary messages" when
they return. Any people posting a lot of "I'm Bored" messages will be warned as any form
of ONLY "I'm Bored" messages are considered spam.
