FinalEscape is an English-only website. All content posted in publicly viewable areas of the game or forum must be written in English.

3.2 - Insults/Flaming
Personal attacks, insults, rudeness, racism, threats, name calling or unnecessarily inflammatory communication will not be tolerated. It is important to keep in mind that FinalEscape is a global community and what might be acceptable behavior or language in one country may not be acceptable in others.

3.3 - Personal Disputes
Personal issues between individuals or factions should not be debated in the public game forum areas.

3.4 - Harrassment
Harrassing other members, participants or game staff members is not permitted. Harrassment includes repeated communication after the other party requests that you cease, posting derogatory comments about another member in the game or on the forum, or any other such behavior with the intention of antagonizing or insulting another member, participant or game staff member.

3.5 - Threats/Intimidation
Real life threats of bodily harm, injury or assault (either explicit or implied) or any form of intimidation are STRICTLY PROHIBITED on any part of the FinalEscape website and will ALWAYS result in a permantent ban from the game and forum.

3.6 - Personal Information
Revealing real world information about a member, participant, administrator or game staff member is STRICTLY PROHIBITED, regardless of the source, public or private. This includes any information about a member or participant that reveals an individual's legal name, address, occupation or other sensitive or personally identifiable information. All such content WILL BE DELETED, and may result in a temporary or permanent ban.

3.7 - Private Communication
Posting the content from a private communication in a publicly viewable area of FinalEscape is not permitted. Private communications include any medium where the involved parties have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as: emails, chat logs, instant messenger logs, private messages, faction private forum posts, private social group posts, reputation comments, etc. Such private communications are to remain private, not shared with third parties. Any such private communication content posted on FinalEscape WILL BE DELETED.

3.8 - Profanity
Profanity in player profiles, forum signatures, forum thread titles or forum user titles is not permitted. Profanity in other areas should be kept to a minimum, and not be used in a comment directed at other members, participants, or game staff members. Excessively profane content may be edited or deleted without notice, and may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the game and /or forum, depending on severity.

3.9 - Affiliate Links/Solicitation
Advertising real life items or services, the posting of affiliate or referral links, or any other form of solicitation is not permitted on any part of the FinalEscape.com website. If you would like to advertise, please use the Contact link at the bottom of any page to inquire. Similarly, promotion of or posting links to charities or other services soliciting donations or money is not permitted.

If you disagree with how the game or forum is being moderated or administered, please use the Contact link at the bottom of any page to contact the staff.


4. FORUM DISCUSSION AND POSTING

4.1 - Spamming/Flooding/Trolling
The following are not permitted on FinalEscape:

Spamming - Posting the same thread in multiple forums, or posting the same post in multiple threads, or sending unsolicited private messages to members.
Flooding - Posting many times in succession in a single thread.
Trolling - Constant harrassment of a member, or repeated off-topic and/or rude posts in a thread.

Depending on severity, content in violation of this rule will be edited or deleted, and may result in a ban from the forum.

4.2 - Off Topic
Please make every effort to keep your posts relevant to the active thread topic. Detours usually take a thread wildly off topic, and invite others to do the same. Off-topic posts (and any responses to such posts) may be deleted without notice.

4.3 - Thread Location
Please make an effort to post new threads in the appropriate forum or subforum. Posting threads in the proper section makes the forum easier to browse for all members and visitors, and reduces the workload for Game Staff. Threads posted in an inappropriate forum will be moved without notice.

4.4 - Crossposting
You may not crosspost (creating redundant threads that link to or promote an existing thread for the purpose of gaining extra visibility). Such threads will be closed or deleted without notice.

4.5 - Necroposting
Pointlessly bumping of dormant, inactive threads causes confusion for other members and visitors who may not notice the original thread post date. A thread is considered inactive if there have been no replies in the last four (4) months. Posting in an inactive thread is strongly discouraged, unless there is a very good reason for reactivating the thread. If you feel an issue or topic from an inactive thread deserves renewed discussion, please create a new thread in the appropriate forum or subforum.

4.6 - Real World Controversial Discussion
Discussion of real world politics, nationalism, religion, war, or other similarly controversial topics is not permitted or appropriate for this forum. FinalEscape is a global community with players from many different countries around the world, so discussion of such topics often disrupts the FinalEscape community. Therefore, refrain from starting or participating in any such discussions, as they WILL BE DELETED from the forum.

4.7 - Posting for Banned Members
Members are not permitted to post on behalf of any member permanently or temporarily banned from FinalEscape. Similarly, members are not permitted to allow any banned member to use their FinalEscape account to circumvent a ban (See Rule 1.3 above).

4.8 - Bumping of Threads
Bumping of threads is only permitted ONCE in any 24 hour period, and only if the thread has been pushed to the second page of a forum (using default viewing settings). This rule applies especially for the Trading forums. Bumping of threads by friends is not permitted at any time.

4.9 - Frivolous Posts
Please refrain from making pointless and unnecessary posts in threads, such as "First Post!!!" "In before the lock!" or "LOL!!" or other very short messages that add little to a discussion. Frivolous posts such as these will be deleted without notice.

4.10 - Quotes
Quoting very large posts in their entirety is not permitted. Please limit quotes of other posts to those portions that are directly relevant to your reply or response. Doing so makes replies easy to follow for fellow members, and helps reduce unnecessary scrolling when reading a thread.


5. IMAGES, AVATARS AND SIGNATURES

5.1 - Third Party Images
All images embedded in threads, posts or blog entries MUST be uploaded to your personal member Album. In order to prevent broken links, the use of third-party image hosting sites is not permitted.

5.2 - Image Sizes
Any image embedded in a thread, post or blog entry that horizontally expands the forum tables or otherwise disrupts the website layout will be edited or deleted without notice. For large images that you wish to include in a post, please use the thumbnail display or direct link options.

5.3 - Objectional Image Content
Pornographic, sexually explicit or excessively violent imagery is not permitted anywhere on FinalEscape. Obscene images, pornography, or offensive content related to gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and any other imagery or language that the Game Staff deems inappropriate WILL BE DELETED without notice. This rule also applies to avatar, profile and signature images. In most cases, a member will be sent a private message requesting that the image in question be replaced, unless the material is extremely offensive, in which case it will be immediately removed without notice.

5.4 - Signature Limits
Text used in your signature may not be overly long, may not use characters larger than "SIZE=3" and may only contain five (5) lines of text. Please limit graphical signatures to 500x120 pixels. One 500x120 pixel image and one line of text is acceptable, but not an image along with a large amount of text. Please keep your signature as small as possible, since large signatures clutter the forum and cause unnecessary amounts of scrolling when reading threads. Note that signatures are only displayed in a member's first post of a thread page.


6. TRADE

6.1 - Trading Thread Maintenance
It is the responsibility of every member to monitor their Trading forum threads, and to respond in a timely manner to other members who submit bids or offers (either within the thread, or via private message). Thread starters should also make a post in their Trading threads indicating if an item is sold or withdrawn, or an auction or sale is cancelled.

6.2 - Trading Procedures
Please try to make your Trading thread rules and procedures simple and clear. While FinalEscape wishes to give its members flexibility in creating Trading threads, we reserve the right to close or delete any unnecessarily confusing or restrictive Trading threads, based on member feedback.

6.3 - Trading Execution
Any member who routinely fails to follow through on sales or purchases made in the Trading forum risks losing access to this portion of FinalEscape. If you feel another member has acted unfairly in a Trading thread, or does not honor an agreement finalized in a Trading thread, please contact the Game Staff explaining the issue, along with a link to the related Trading thread.

6.4 - Misleading/Inaccurate Sales Threads
Information provided in Trading threads should be kept factual, verifiable and reasonable. This includes information regarding the statistics, qualities or characteristics of an item, past sales, and/or market history.

6.5 - Trading Currencies
All prices must be expressed in PMU. Sales threads or links with prices expressed in real-world currencies are not permitted.

The more general right to refuse access, ban a user, block an IP address, or otherwise restrict the functionality of FinalEscape.com content or services in any way and for any reason is reserved by the FinalEscape administrators.

Circumstances and situations may arise that periodically require a revision of these game rules. As such, the Game Staff reserves the right to modify and/or expand these official rules at any time. We encourage you to periodically visit this page to advise yourself of the latest rules.

The Game Staff shall be the sole and final arbitrators of what does or does not violate these rules and/or FinalEscape community standards.
