I have a question! What do I do?
You can post in the Questions board! If your question requires faster response from a moderator, or one moderator in particular, we encourage you to PM any one of us. We respond as promptly to PMs as we possibly can.

How can I contact the moderating team off-site?
Many moderators have e-mails and/or instant messaging names. It is their choice whether or not they give these out.


Only contact this account to inquire about or appeal a warning you have received. All other Mod-related business should be directed to individual Mods.

Conduct Rules for Leadership Roles

This is applicable for any position/title on the forum that a person may acquire: includes (but is not limited to) Admin, Moderator/Forum Guardian, Admin Assistant, Tech Assistant, Character Directory Organizer, and/or Reach Organizer. While general conduct on this forum should be followed in being amicable to your fellow members at all times, these particular groups must adhere to the following rules due to their positions of power:
  • Remember you are an ambassador for our community. Keep all forum-related conversations civil, whether it is public to the forum eye, or in private one-to-one conversational settings.
  • When having a discussion about a forum or member concern, if you find yourself getting aggressive for any reason, step away. Refer that member to another member of your group if necessary in order to avoid unnecessary discord.
  • Whether posting on a public thread or privately messaging a member, avoid all uses of passive-aggressiveness (in other words, don’t just dismiss the member with something when it’s clear you’re upset about it).
  • Do not abuse your board powers or "status" for personal gain, influence, or to harm any other member on the forum.
  • It is okay to have disagreements -- that’s human nature. Moderators and Organizers, however, are expected to never act aggressively or insult another member in the course of these conflicts.

Examples of power abuse include:
  • Sharing messages or logs from boards, chats, or servers intended for the use of leadership roles only (what's said in the Moderator/CDO/RO chat stays in the Moderator/CDO/RO chat unless it's going up to the Mods.).
  • Sharing the contents of threads held within the Staff Boards, including (but not limited to) deleted threads, current or completed reports/discussions, current or completed tryouts/applications, etc.
  • Deleting forum or pack information that is still in use
  • Making yourself an exception to a rule (ex. a Moderator approving their own hellion, a CDO letting their own namesave stand longer than the deadline, etc.)

These are not exhaustive lists. We may expand upon these lists at any time, especially at the request of those in leadership roles or regular members. Going forward, warnings may be given out for failing to uphold the standards we hold these roles to. If any member feels these conduct guidelines have been violated, they should report the concern to a Moderator. Repeated violations can and will result in the removal of these individuals from authority positions and groups.
