<<<FORUM RULES>>>
The following rules are to be respected by anyone who joins this site, members and guests alike. Anyone who messes the forum up will get a temporary ban; repeated misuse will result in perma-ban and can even lead to an in-game kick.
Since the site would drown in chaos without a set of rules, I attempted to create a comprehensive collection - which may be revised/expanded anytime, so it is the duty of each member to keep him/herself up to date.
1. Registration
To view the internal area of the forum you need to be a confirmed member of the Rakshasa Pride Corporation [RAKSH], and a registered user of the forum. There are a few rules which must be followed during the registration process:
Names: The in-game name of the user must match the name on the forum (for administration purposes). If a user has multiple accounts or chars, the main character's name is to be taken.
Activation: Pending registrations are activated by hand. In case of delays or other problems, contact one of the administrators here or in-game.
2. Additional requirements
Multiple accounts: To maintain internal security and corporation integrity, every recruit must provide the limited access API key and user id of ALL accounts to the Pride - you can get them on the following site: link. It is currently not required to join the corporation with all characters. The thread for posting the codes is located here: Portrait Hall.
Skill Sheets: Every member is required to post the skill sheets of their corp-intern characters. THIS IS IMPERATIVE: THE PAYOUT AFTER OPERATIONS IS DETERMINED BY THE SKILLS OF THE USER! To post the skill sheets, simply follow this link: Skill Sheets
*Note: No one expects anyone to spend hours with typing down the sheets of multiple characters, there is a more efficient and elegant way out there. The program called EVEMON has a function which puts out skill sheets exactly the way they are in-game, to post it you only need to copy and paste the contents of the text file it provides.
You can download EVEMON here: link
3. Forum etiquette and general rules
Flaming, trolling, infighting: While I've had quite some fun lurking around and trolling in certain game channels, on this forum severely offensive language, irrelevant posts, spam and the like are not tolerated, and will be punished by the moderators. Personal feuds and arguments should be settled per pm, if possible.
Offensive links and other crap: A lot of people tend to play popup-pranks and such on others, which can have dire consequences (imagine browsing the forums at work, and getting a 1024x768 pussy on the screen). Therefore such actions are STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.
Mod authority: The moderators have an absolute authority over their boards. They have been chosen because they were the best; it is allright if you disagree with some decisions, but there is no point of starting a war you simply cannot win.
Images and signatures:: There are currently no restrictions to sig or image sizes, but it is advised to use thumbnails or links for gigantic and high resolution images. The same goes for signatures. If you are uncertain of the correct sizes, look at my sig for example.
Avatars: After registration, I usually take the ingame avatar of the registered member, resize it to 100x100 pixels, and put it in the avatar gallery. Custom avatars can be uploaded too; just pm me with the details.
