29. Posts that distort the forum layout are prohibited.
Posts that are deliberately designed to distort the layout of the DUST 514 forums, or character names that are of an inappropriate length and stretch the forums will be removed. This kind of behavior is deemed as being in opposition to the community spirit that CCP would like to promote, and posts of this nature will be deleted. Users who engage in this type of behavior may face temporary suspension or permanent revocation of their forum posting privileges.
30. Abuse of CCP employees and ISD volunteers is prohibited.
CCP operate a zero tolerance policy on abuse of CCP employees and ISD volunteers. This includes but is not limited to personal attacks, trolling, GÇ£outingGÇ¥ of CCP employee or ISD volunteer player identities, and the use of any former player identities when referring to the aforementioned parties.
Our forums are designed to be a place where players and developers can exchange ideas in a polite and friendly manner for the betterment of DUST 514. Players who attack or abuse employees of CCP, or ISD volunteers, will be permanently banned from the DUST 514 forums across all their accounts with no recourse, and may also be subject to action against their game accounts.
31. Rumor mongering is prohibited.
Rumor threads and posts which are based off no actual solid information and are designed to either troll or annoy other users will be locked and removed. These kinds of threads and posts are detrimental to the wellbeing and spirit of the DUST 514 Community, and can create undue panic among forum users, as well as adding to the workload of our moderators.
32. "Quitting" posts are only permitted on the Locker Room channel.
CCP recognize that during the course of gameplay a lot of friendships are made between players and that sometimes if a player is taking a break or departing from the DUST universe that they would like to say goodbye on the forums. Posts of this nature are only permitted on the Locker Room forum, and must be civil and well worded.
Reprimand Policy
The DUST 514 Community Team operates a tiered system of warnings and associated forum suspensions of various lengths, depending on the severity and number of transgressions of the rules.
The list below shows the structure of our warning and suspension policy. Please be aware that if a transgression of the rules is severe enough, this policy may be bypassed completely in favor of permanent revocation of a forum userGÇÖs posting privileges.
1ST OFFENCE GÇô WARNING
2ND OFFENCE GÇô 14 DAY SUSPENSION
3RD OFFENCE GÇô 30 DAY SUSPENSION
4TH OFFENCE GÇô 90 DAY SUSPENSION
5TH OFFENCE GÇô 180 DAY SUSPENSION
6+ OFFENCES GÇô 180 DAY SUSPENSION (OR PERMANENT BAN IF TRANSGRESSION IS SEVERE ENOUGH)
Coupled with this listing, leniency may be applied when issuing a posting suspension if a period of more than 6 months has elapsed between the current warning and any previous action. This leniency lies entirely at the discretion of the DUST 514 Community Team.
Temporary Suspension & Appeals
Temporary suspension of posting privileges occurs in line with the above laid out reprimand policy. The duration of a suspension increases every time they are issued due to the accumulation of forum warnings.
Forum users are fully entitled to appeal against any actions taken that result in a warning or suspension of forum posting privileges.
Appeals can be made by filing a petition under the Forums & Community category with the character that has had the action levied against them. Full justification for the behavior that caused the action to be taken, plus a solid case for the reinstatement of forum posting privileges must be presented in this petition.
Decisions regarding the reinstatement of forum posting privileges due to appeal lie solely with the DUST 514 Community Team, and any decisions made are final.
Permanant Banning & Appeals
A permanent ban is only issued in severe cases where a forum user has grossly violated our rules. Permanent banning may occur due to the posting of pornography, discriminatory remarks which are sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive as well as excessive obscene or vulgar language, posts which discuss or illustrate illegal activity, or an instance of providing links to sites that contain any of the aforementioned.
Users who are permanently banned from posting on the DUST 514 forums are entitled to request a review of their forum ban with a view to having it lifted 6 months after it is applied. Once 6 months has elapsed, a user may file a petition under the GÇ£Forums & CommunityGÇ¥ category, and the ban will be reviewed by the DUST 514 Community Team.
Decisions regarding the revocation of permanent forum bans lie solely with the DUST 514 Community Team, and any decisions made are final.
Complaints
If any forum user has an issue or complaint regarding the conduct of our ISD volunteer moderators, the DUST 514 Community team can be reached by [https://support.eveonline.com/Pages/Petitions/CreatePetition.aspx filing a petition] under the Forums & Community category.
Any complaints received are taken extremely seriously and will be fully investigated.
