Rules

Bleach-RPG rules and regulations

These rules and regulations are subject to change at any time, it is the users own responsibility to ensure they abide by these rules, to avoid punishment. Ignorance is not an excuse.

- Offensive language / names.
Minor cursing can be overlooked, however heavy cursing and offending other users (see harassment) is not allowed. Penalties will be handed out at the staff's discretion, and are non-debatable.

Offensive language will receive at a maximum of two warnings. Warnings will be handed out through PM and/or in posts in the tavern the offense is occurring. Offenders can expect up to a one day ban, repeated offenders can expect any ban from two days to a week and a consecutive tavern bans, should offenses persist.

Offensive usernames are subject to be banned and deadlocked on sight. Consciously making an offensive username is against the rules and will not be tolerated. This can be done at anytime, so you are heavily advised to not test your luck, because a Vasto Lord account with an offensive username is no different from a Minion account. Rule of thumb, if you think it might be offensive, it probably is.

Offensive language / usernames consist of usernames/language involving:

  • Excessive swearing
  • Sexual references
  • Racism
  • Any other content deemed inappropriate by the staff




- Language:
In public discussion areas like the Socialize, any language besides english is strictly prohibited.
Our moderator team cannot possibly know every language, and as such, cannot moderate any messages in languages they do not understand. To prevent harassment out of the staff's control, all other languages are only to be used in private messages.

- Harassment:
Harassment, trolling, or otherwise pestering a user is most obviously not allowed. Bans will be granted after written complaints to moderators / administrators by the user involved. Valid proof must be submitted to warrant the ban.

Sufficient proof consists of:

  • Copies of private messages, reported by the report feature
  • Messages posted in the tavern, reported by the report feature

The exact punishment is induced at the discretion of the staff and will depend on the severity of the violation.

- Account Sharing
For your safety, account sharing is explicitly forbidden for all users. If any user is found sharing their password, both users can expect bans up to 48 hours, and a forced password change. As always, repeated offenses result in increased punishments.

- Impersonating a moderator / Administrator:
Anyone found impersonating moderators / administrators will be banned on sight. This rule extends to usernames with great resemblance to that of a moderator, or usernames implying moderator or admin privileges such as "4dmin1istrat0r","SiteOwner" and the likes.

- Account Buying / Selling / Trading / Giving away
Trading, selling, or buying accounts is explicitly forbidden. All accounts involved in this process are subject to bans, and any accounts that actually switch ownership may be permanently removed. Giving away accounts also falls under this rule.

- Bots / Reload scripts
Bots, reload scripts or any type of third party software or script that plays the game for you is disallowed. These things stress out the server.

- User-pictures:
User-pictures are subject to moderation. Inappropriate user-pictures will be removed on sight, and a warning or ban will be issued.

Inappropriate user-pictures include pictures:

  • Of sexual nature
  • Containing swear words
  • Depicting racism of any kind
  • Harassing other users (see harassment)

The administration reserves the right to deem user-pictures inappropriate even when not falling under any of the above categories. The admins have the final say.

Failure to comply can result in bans.

- Changes to user data:
The administration will, under no circumstance, manipulate a users stats on request of the user.

Users asking for stat increases or anything of the sorts are subject to bans.

- Account responsibility:
The owner of the account is, at all times, responsible for anything that occurs on his/her account. Hackers, little brothers, cats, or mysterious glitches are no excuse.

- Moderator / Admin positions:
Users are not permitted to ask for staff positions. We have a selection process that does not involve applications, and asking often puts you on the bottom of the list. Additionally, you may be warned or receive a ban for asking about it... so just don't do it. Don't call us, we'll call you.

- Inquiring about the staff panels:
Inquiring about the moderator / admin panels is strictly forbidden. Anyone found doing this will receive a ban.

- Bans:
Bans are definitive. Anyone found whining about being banned risks having their ban extended. The proper way to contest a ban is to politely contact a head moderator or administrator.

- Account limits:
Each user is allowed to one account. If this limit is exceeded, the excess account(s) will be removed and the main account may receive a ban.


- Spamming the Socialize
The Socialize (also known as 'the social') is supposed to be a user friendly area where the players change exchange opinions, information and ideas. As such, the staff of Bleach-RPG would like to keep it an enjoyable environment. Posts that are deemed spam will be deleted on sight and the poster shall be warned to cease such activity. If the offender fails to comply, they are liable to lose the ability to post. Repeated offenders can expect harsher punishments until the practice stops.

Spamming includes posts:
- In excessive caps.
- In excessive bold/italic/underline/colors
- Large nonsensical posts that stretch the tavern.
- Advertising of any sort.
- Abusing BBCode of any kind. This includes, but is not limited to, excessive use of the URL code.

This list is not intended to be all inclusive, so technicalities aren't generally a valid defense. The staff has the final say on what is and is not considered spam. If a staff member tells you it is spam, stop doing it. If you feel that the staff member is mistaken, tell a head mod or admin, who will make the final call.

- Glitching/Hacking
As it would go without saying, exploiting faults in the code and hacking Bleach-RPG is strictly forbidden. Anyone found doing either can expect the wrath of the administration to fall upon their account. (A commonly known glitch is challenging for a Captain/Espada seat when you're not the required level for challenging them.)

Along side of this:
- Inquiring about how to glitch
- Inquiring about how to hack
- Threatening to hack the site
- Withholding information about a glitch

Is also strictly forbidden. Depending on the severity of the offense, a user found violating this rule can expect whatever punishment is deemed necessary by the administration.



*Case-by-case interpretations of the rules are within the jurisdiction of the moderating staff and are not set in stone. Scenarios and consequences include, but are not limited to, those listed above. If you disagree with a moderator's handling of a situation, alert a Head Mod or Admin; it is not and never will be an excuse for inappropriate conduct or rudeness on your part.

**If you are a repeated offender - your account is liable to be permanently banned. We understand people make mistakes, but people are also expected to learn from their "mistakes"

***This site expects its users to conduct themselves in accordance with the rules of fair play and good sportsmanship. Inappropriate behavior not outlined in the specifications above, e.g. alt-killing, botting, and scamming, will not be tolerated. Penalties may range anywhere from a warning, to an extended ban and stat reductions, to permanent bans, at the staff's discretion. You participate in questionable practices and activity at your own risk, and are subject to the consequences of your actions.
