Expected Behavior for Players, Moderators, and Admins on Horse Isle.
|
|
Following these guidelines will help promote a fun game experience for all.<br/>
|
|
<br/>

</span></font><font color="#990000"><span style="FONT-STYLE:italic"><font color="#000000" style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Purpose:</font>
|
|
To enjoy the game.</span></font><br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Do NOT ruin the enjoyment of Horse Isle by another player through negative
|
|
actions of any kind.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
If harassed/upset/annoyed by another player, use the MUTE system to mute the
|
|
other player, DO NOT make things worse by fighting with another
|
|
player, this is considered to be both players faults regardless of who
|
|
started it.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Do NOT threaten to report players. If you have a problem with another
|
|
player use the MUTE system and if it's serious, then file an abuse report.
|
|
There is no need to tell them or threaten them. Threatening another player
|
|
with an abuse report, especially when the other player did nothing wrong could
|
|
easily get you in trouble.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Do NOT be offended when a player Mutes you, anyone can Mute anyone for any
|
|
reason. Some people are not as "talkative" as others and don't appreciate
|
|
being chatted to much. Just try to find others that appreciate
|
|
chatting with you.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Do NOT be offended or upset if a player does not answer your Private
|
|
Message. Many players may be away from the game for a bit or are busy
|
|
doing something else. Replying to PM's can be a lot of work depending on
|
|
the situation the player is in.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Players should reply positively when possible. If you have nothing
|
|
positive/helpful to say, please just do not reply.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Players should never cheat/lie/trick another player into making an unfair trade.
|
|
Stealing horses, money, etc. in this manner is an instant BAN.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Players are 100% responsible for their accounts. Do not let siblings use
|
|
your account and do not give out your password to ANYONE.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Players should always respect moderators when they ask you to do
|
|
something. If you feel a moderator is not being fair, or violating
|
|
moderator expected behavior below, you can email us directly. In the mean
|
|
time, respect the moderator.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
<B>Note:</B> When the horses have a bridle on it shows the reins hanging down. This was for drawing/fitting purposes only. Please never leave your own, real life horse with its reins hanging down in this manner. It is very dangerous for your horse.<br/>

|
Purpose:</span></font> To have mature, positive players who can be trusted to
|
|
quell bad/rule violating behavior from within the game.</span></font><br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Moderators should be a good role model of all Expected Player Behaviors.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Moderators should be fair in any use of moderator abilities. Never used
|
|
for personal reasons.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Moderators are not required to help other players. Moderators are players
|
|
like everyone else. Sometimes they are busy, or working on their own things.
|
|
Moderators are under no obligation to help. DO NOT be upset when they do
|
|
not have time to help you, and be grateful when they do. Try making your
|
|
requests for help to anyone on the server if it's a general game issue.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
When to Prison Isle: This is the least severe of Moderator actions. Mostly
|
|
done if a player is physically being in the way of others in the game, or
|
|
harassing, etc.. No Violation Points are assigned for this.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
When to Mute: In any case where a player is not following Horse Isle Rules after
|
|
being asked to follow the specific rule they are violating. Muting should
|
|
happen right away when a player is purposefully and seriously violating
|
|
profanity rules, etc. Mute times may range from 5 minutes to 2 full days
|
|
depending on severity. An Admin will review each muting case and
|
|
assign Violation points if warranted.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
When to Delete player/horse/ranch Profiles: When a clear violation of Personally
|
|
identifiable info is present such as age/phone/address/im/email/etc. (Real life
|
|
information on the players horses, or other non-identifiable info is
|
|
acceptable). Also, any profanity/filter avoidance is cause for
|
|
profile deletion. When profiles are deleted, they are reviewed by an admin
|
|
and violation points assigned based on content.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
When to Ban: Two Moderators need to agree to ban a player in order for it to
|
|
work. This should only be used on SEVERE Cases where MUTES do not solve
|
|
the problem. Or where a new player has connected with a clearly
|
|
offensive name.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Moderators need to PM players when there is a problem. Such as when a
|
|
player is spamming, begging, causing troubles, etc. This causes the player
|
|
to not be singled out in global. It also tends to help contain the
|
|
situation better and keep it from escalating into something worse.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Moderators are not required to go to a different server even if there are not
|
|
any moderators there.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
It's great for moderators to have buddies, but they must not be treated as
|
|
favorites. This means the friends of moderators should be treated the same
|
|
as any other player with regard to punishment for not following the rules.
|
|
Moderators found 'playing favorites' could have their moderator privileges taken
|
|
away.<br/>

|
|
Purpose:</font> To make sure the moderators are being fair, balanced, and
|
|
positive role-models. To make final situational judgements. To judge
|
|
abuse reports. etc. Our main goal is to ensure an environment where all
|
|
players of any age can enjoy themselves.</span></font><br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Admins should be fair, and uphold the rules set forth.<br/>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
Being fair requires being strict. When too many violations occur, We
|
|
MUST remove accounts and block game access in more serious cases. We
|
|
cannot take excuses of siblings being responsible, etc. Each player
|
|
is responsible for what happens on their account.<br/>
