Please read our Forum Rules before you write anything in this Forum.
The Legend: Legacy of the Dragons Forum has been established to enable players to communicate and help each other. We want you to enjoy the game in a decent, relaxed and secure environment.
Therefore the basic main rule is to treat each other the way you would like to be treated yourself - with respect and courtesy. The following may not cover every eventuality but contains the ground rules everyone should follow.
The Forum language is English, except for the Hall of Languages Forum where any language may be used. Still all the other forum rules apply here just as well.
Respect
There is no excuse for using offensive, racist, obscene or other inappropriate language while writing in the forum. Swearing, discrimination, insults, inflammatory remarks, and real live threats will not be tolerated. Discussions about illegal activities which could harm the health or property of our players are not allowed. In addition spamming, extreme use of CAPs or any other disturbing posts such as posting chat logs on our forum are forbidden.
Security
It is not allowed to ask for or tell players personal contact details such as address, phone number and/or email. With that rule we want to protect you and your privacy. Giving out such details can also put your account at a high security risk. Be always aware that it is potentially dangerous to give out any contact details to people you do not really know. Goodbye threads will be closed as well.
Also we do not tolerate website advertising. Please post only links to War of Dragons related content or websites. Any player posting other website information that maybe considered harmful to other players will receive a severe punishment.
Signature and Avatar
The signature should not be larger than 2 lines with normal font size (spaces included). Links should only lead to War of Dragons websites. You may not use any offensive avatar with violent, racist, political and sexual content.
Complaints about Mentors, Guards, Forum Moderators or Admins
No one is perfect and mistakes can happen. Therefore you have the option to complain about actions that were made against your account. If you think your penalty was not correct, there are special forum threads in the Mentor and Guard Advice Forums. Post your complaints only there. Any complaints in the main forum will be deleted.
Forum - Warning System
The new forum system offers us an opportunity to make the warning system easier. At the same time it will also offer greater transparency and provide a better view for you. In this post I want to show you the criteria you might get a forum penalty and how it will be punished. There are three levels of penalties, and this design is similar to a football game:
Yellow Card
What exactly: Spam, Flood, cross posting, taunts, name calling, provocations, and shaming. Posting chat logs or screenshots used to taunt or shame another player.
Consequences: The player receives a yellow card which will have no disciplinary consequences. The posts will be deleted or edited. This card will expire after 3 days.
Two yellow cards will turn into a red card (3 days forum ban).
Red Card
What exactly:swearing, insults, insult towards Admins/Mentors/Guards. Derogatory or defamatory remarks. Harmful destructive remarks towards game. Advertising/Phishing Links.
Consequences: The player receives a red card and a forum ban for 3 days. The posts will be deleted or edited.
If the player has a few red cards already, there may be a longer ban.
Disciplinary punishment
What exactly: racist comments, sexual or pornographic comments, other major offences
Consequences: The user will be banned for a longer time or forever. The posts will be deleted or edited.
