rules
Respect
All players in the game must agree to treat other players with respect, kindness, and appropriate communication. If you have a disagreement, please speak to the player first before you bring the issue to a moderator. We understand that confrontation and conflict are not comfortable, but it's a lot more comfortable than escalation. The only exceptions are cases of discrimination and antagonizing or abusive behavior. These behaviors will not be tolerated and may be reported directly to mods with evidence.
Moderation
Moderators are volunteers. Please do not contact moderators on their personal forms of contact to ask for mod work. We ask that you respect moderators' time and ability to separate moderation time from personal time by allowing moderators to answer questions at their discretion within a timely manner. Post questions on the FAQ page so that all players have access to the responses. Please refrain from sending private messages to the moderator plurk account, as we only check them when we are signing in to give announcements and may easily miss your question. Send all requests for moderators through the appropriately listed pages or private message to the moderator journal. We thank you for respecting this agreement, and in exchange we will try to address all requests within 7 days maximum (though will always aim for faster).
Rating & Content Warnings
All players must be over the age of 18. This is not a smut game, but mature themes may be discussed or represented. Any time mature content is present, posts should contain content warnings in either the subject line or at the top of the post in a clearly visible location. This includes graphic depictions of sex, violence, injury, death, and psychologically altered states (psychosis, hallucinations, drug-influenced states, etc.) This applies to OOC player discussions on game communities, IC played characters, and NPCs within RP threads and applies to all species. Sex is allowed in the game, but please be sure to lock content to members-only.
Activity
You must be an active member of the community to continue in the game. Activity check is one thread of at least 5 consecutive comments per month. If over the course of 4 months all of your submitted threads are with the same character, you may be given a warning. Players are expected to have interactions with more than one character. If you are unable to meet these requirements, you may take a hiatus to waive activity for 1 consecutive month. We do not have a strike system at this game. The activity submission page is a Google Spreadsheet and linked on the Activity Check page, which can also be accessed via the Navigation. The link is updated each month and previous spreadsheets are archived on the same page. If you have difficulty accessing the spreadsheet, please either PM the mod account or email isleofavalon.mods@gmail.com with the subject line "Activity" and include your name, your character(s)'s name(s), series, and a link to the activity proof as an alternate means of submission. You do not need to submit activity for the month that a character is accepted. If you have threads that meet the minimum requirements for AC beyond each month's requirement, you can use them to claim bonus activity rewards.
Permission
Always ask for permission from other players before doing something that would significantly affect their character, including fourth-wall breaking. Godmodding, infomodding, playercest, blending of the IC-OOC line, failure to warn for sensitive content, and sexual content with characters under 16 are not permitted.
Stay in character
A character should always be recognizable at the core, even if they have developments. Full personality flip-flops and headcanons that directly contradict known canon information are not permitted. HMD posts are not required, but we do ask that players stay in-character as they play.
Warnings and Strikes
Failure to adhere to these terms may result in a warning or strike on a case-by-case basis. Moderators will notify if a strike is given within a week of the decision being made. Moderators reserve the right to ban someone from the game without strikes if a pattern of unacceptable behavior is established, even if the behavior occurs outside of the game.
