The game servers for both the free and member versions of SpiritWars are
provided by Kellogg Creek Software as a service for our players.
Participation is a privilege, not a right.
Any player not following
the rules of conduct as outlined here will be immediately removed from the
playing community.
The following guidelines are intended to let you know what is expected
from players participating in our online community.
G-Rated Environment:
The SpiritWars playing world is strictly G-Rated.
We have a number of young players and we expect everyone to help us keep
the chat room clean and positive.
Any swearing, sexual or suggestive
conversation will not be tolerated. Also be aware that our moderators will
ask you to change your name if you use a name with sexual implications. We
are very serious about maintaining a clean friendly environment suitable
for family entertainment.
We appreciate your help in building a
friendly and positive online community.
Attitude:
Within the SpiritWars community, trash-talking,
taunting and any form of disrespectful conduct is not tolerated. We expect
all players to compete with honor and be both a gracious winner and a good
loser. The majority of the Internet gaming worlds you are familiar with
may not require this, but in SpiritWars we expect everyone to help us
maintain the positive attitude and atmosphere that has earned us a
reputation for having the classiest players on the Web.
Cheating:
Any attempts to manipulate the game world or use
external programs to gain an unfair advantage will result in immediate and
permanent banishment from the playing world. There are not "cheats" or
"hacks" for SpiritWars.
It is a game designed to be played only
between human opponents and any unethical conduct will not be tolerated.
Cooperation with Moderators:
The moderators (designated by red names in the
player list) work for Kellogg Creek Software and they are there to help
maintain the positive atmosphere in the SpiritWars chat room.
All
players are expected to comply with requests of Moderators.
Failure
to comply with behavior-related requests will result in banishment from
the community.
Shouting:
Shouting (typing in all uppercase characters) is
considered to be rude and disruptive to the chat room.
Please
refrain from shouting.
Free Speech:
Please do no waste your time, or that of the
moderators and helpers, by debating the rules and arguing about free
speech.
We run a chat room to support SpiritWars. It is not a public
forum; nor is it a platform for free speech.
Please refrain from
discussing subjects that may offend others or create conflicts with other
players.
Any arguments about free speech within our chat world will
result in immediate removal. There are plenty of vehicles and sites on the
Internet that provide a forum for free speech; the SpiritWars chat room is
not one of them.
Nonnegotiable Rules:
If you have a problem
with our rules and expectations of players in our gaming community, please
address your concerns to the System Administrator
rather than attempting to debate or argue about the rules with out online
staff.
They have clear instructions to enforce the rules, not debate
them.
Kellogg
Creek Software reserve the right to exclude any player from our online
community who does not follow the Code of Conduct, or who in any manner
fails to comply with the expected standards of behavior.
