| Underground Naruto: Rules & Guidelines
________________________________________________________
* New Member's! First off, welcome to Underground Naruto! If your reading this, chances are you have joined, and you probably want to start posting and joining fun social activities.
Well, your more then welcome to, of course, but first, to make sure you are not breaking any rules here, please read on. Yes, we do have a number of rules, but they are fair and easy to follow, so you shouldn't have any problems learning about Underground Naruto.
Well, carry on! If you have a question about the rules here
at Underground Naruto, or need help, please ask a staff member.
________________________________________________________
Freedom of Speech.
________________________________________________________
Yes, this needed a section by itself. Freedom of speech is nice isn't it? Well, sorry, but you lose it to an certain extent. You see, we do not want certain types of discussion here, such as items related to hentai or roms for example.
Therefore, your 'speech' is restricted. Yes, it is entirely fair. If we ever find a Member who says we are unable to stop thoughts on here, well, I suppose they didn't read the rule.
Know we do this not to be unfair, but to protect you, the Member, from the dangers of what you discuss. It in within your best interest to know this, a prime concern on UN being Member safety.
________________________________________________________
Spamming: The types of it and the warnings following.
________________________________________________________
"To post irrelevant or inappropriate messages to one or more Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, or other messaging system in deliberate or accidental violation of etiquette."
That is the definition of spamming, save it in your UCP, do whatever it takes to remember this for it is the definition that will be used when moderating the forum.
If a Member at anytime breaks a rule they may get warned or banned, depending on how serious it is. If you are just starting here, then commonly we will ignore the first rule you break, because you probably still learning the rules.
However, do not expect such special treatment all the time. You can and will get warned if you continue to break rules, and perhaps even banned.
So, we have three sections of rules concerning the whole process. The first being how warns or handed out, and how many is too many. The second one is how bannings are placed. The third explains how to improve your current status, and how to stay out of trouble.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
* Warnings.
Warnings are as they are; warnings a staff member gives you if you happen to break a rule. Warnings range from normal, to serious, and may vary. The setup is listed here:
- First Warning. Normally, nothing truly happens. You are given a warning, but nothing else. This is your chance to improve yourself. These warnings are removed when we see you have learned your lesson.
- Second Warning. Depending on the warning, you may be suspended for a few days, are or given a second chance. It depends on the rule you have broken.
- Third Warning. You are suspended for a while, ranging from three days, to a whole month. This is serious, and should be avoided.
- Fourth Warning. You. Are. Banned. Well, probably. If a staff member sees that you may improve, you MAY get one last chance. Otherwise, Underground Naruto will be forever lost to you.
Contact a staff member through PM if you have a question.

Bans . . . they result in you losing every right you have here, and are commonly unchangeable. There are ways to become banned . . .
