1. Any promoter who wishes to join PFW may post a reply to the CREATE YOUR CHARACTER thread on this board. Please include all of the information requested on the thread so that I when I make the official "bootleg" card, I can have the information handy to add to it.
2. All stats posted on the thread must, to the best of your ability, conform to the guidelines set forth by Filsinger Games. Any information that doesn't follow the guidelines will be changed by the moderator to conform to the guidelines, and a copy of the corrected character sheet will be PM'd or e-mailed to you so that you can see what changes have been made. For the official guidelines, go to www.filsingergames.com/howtocreate.htm.
3. There are to be no spoilers to be posted on this board at anytime whatsoever, nor is there to be any discussion of any other wrestling promotion other than PFW. This discussion board will be for PFW promos, challenges and match results ONLY. If you wish to post spoilers for discussion, please post it on the COTG Discussion Board.
4. Absolutely NO bypassing of the swear filter. If you wish to "mask" profanity, no more than the first and last letters of any word should be visible AND ONLY ASTERISKS are allowed. (ex.: s**t, f**k, a*****e; not $#!+, @$$hole, or whatever); "f-ing" and "f'n" are also acceptable substitutes for that particular word. I would actually prefer it if you just didn't use any profanity at all, as I would like to keep this a famly-friendly board.
4a) If a "normal" word or name -- like the common nickname for Richard -- winds up being filtered, then the mod staff will concider whether we will change the filter (if we can) or if we just to deal with it on a case-by-case basis. We will probably ignore intentionally bypassing in the case of names -- and only names (such as "Dick Hutton"), but don't think that gives you the right to name a character "Freddy F****r" or something equally "witty."
4b) This rule will apply to all threads and forums.
5. Keep personal matters private.. If you have a problem with another poster, take it up with either a moderator, or if its not a serious issue, with them personally VIA PRIVATE MESSAGE. Dragging this garbage into the public view will just make the problem worse, especially since many times these cases are cased by simple misunderstandings and misinterpretations. This includes comments about mod behavior -- ther are several of us; you should be able to find one to whom you can bring your case. This also includes allusion/accusations as to a poster's real-life identity, in the event that someone opts to use a "screen name".
5a) Don't confuse parody in the Forums with personal attacks. While the line may be quite fine in some cases, parody has been a tradition in wrestling for some time now (for good or for ill).
6. NO THREATS; do not threaten any sort of physical harm to another poster, their relatives, their pets, their credit score their property, or anything elsdyou can think of --even in jest-- public or via PM. THIS IS A ZERO-TOLERANCE RULE. Any violation of this rule will result in a temporary banishment for a first offense, and a permanent banishment for a second offense, NO EXCEPTIONS.
7. Keep it clean; no adult, anti-racial, anti-Sematic content is allowed. Any violation of this rule will result in temporary banishment for a first offense, and permanent banishment for a second offense, NO EXCEPTONS.
8. No trolling; expressing a dissenting opinion is not the same as intentionally posting something just to get a rise out of people. Be sure to back up your statemens with evidence or you will be banished permanently for violation of this rule.
9. Banishment means "no posting" if you are temporarily banished and are caught making a second account in an attempt to duck it, it will be your last.
Hopefully these rule will make involvement in PFW a pleasant and enjoyable experience for you. This thread will be locked, as there will be no discussion about this topic. (And yes, I know that most of the rules posted on this thread has been copied ver batim from the Rules of Conduct thread on the COTG Discussion Board, basically because I want everybody to know that what applies there also applies here, and the moderators there worded it in the best way possible, that I wanted the rules to be the same on this board as it is on that one. Thank you for your understanding.)
