RULES

Spammers, trolls, and the like
--------
First off, if a troll happens to post on the forums or shows up on the chat. IGNORE IT. Do not fuels it's sick fun. A troll will be removed immediately. Do not commit this crime. Spam is highly frowned upon and will not be taken lightly. Here's a warning: Do not troll. Do not spam. Do not flood.

The Rating
-----------
This chat and forum is rated pg-13. Keep all and any conversations out of the private rooms at a pg-13 level. Failure to do so will result in a warning, an there after a ban.

Questions
----------
Please do not ask stupid questions. I am pretty sure that people on these chats know the difference between a smart and good question and a stupid question. There are several places to ask a question about Ciel here on the forums. You can also contact an admin directly.

Admins
-----------
Admins are to adhere to these rules as well. Guardians are equivalent to alphas, Advisers to betas, Watchers to Gammas, and Little Watchers are like Admin Assistants. Asking to be an admin is a big no-no and it will forever ruin any chance you ever had at being an admin. On Ciel we do not do applications for admin spots. Admins are chosen at random times for their maturity and how much they deserve it.

Swearing
----------
Any are allowed except for the 'f' work and the 'b' word. Words referring to sexual parts are also not allowed. No swearing can be directed at other users/staff under any circumstances and the words should not be used too often.

Bashing
---------
No bashing of staff/users. e.g; telling an admin how to do their job. No bashing their religion, orientation, gender, race, or artwork at all.

Fighting on the forums
---------
If a user is picking fights with you, please contact a member of staff and we will deal with it immediately.

Inappropriate images
---------
Absolutely NO sexual content on this forum, even if it's a pose, lineart, room or ref. We don't need it, we have children on here.

Bumping old topics
---------
Bumping/spamming topic's is irritating to users and staff. If you do this a number of times after being warned, a forum moderator or admin will ban you.

Double posting
---------
Please no double posting! It counts as spam and bumping, doing this 3 or more times will cause you a ban! (Repeating one post twice / etc.)

Copyrighting
---------
When you post a pose, lineart, or room; please don't make out that you've drawn it, if you've copied it off another website. Please post a link to your DeviantArt - or any similar artwork/album-like site - (if you have one). Do not steal art work. Art theft is a big no-no and will result in a permanent ban.

Age Rule
---------
This site and chat is 13+. No one under the age of 13 will be allowed. If you are under 13 and caught you will be dismissed with a warning. Returning before you are 13 will result in a ban.
