Forum - Forum Policy

Kadalyn

There is a framework of guidelines which every forum member must follow. While most people are polite and respectful, there are some who adopt disrespectful and ill-advised mannerisms. Mabinogi World will employ a set of regulations as precautions to maintain our discussion under control.

Please be aware that we do not wish to censor anyone's opinions, but only act in accordance to misconducts that may endanger the integrity of our website. Once a message is perceived inappropriate, we will take pertinent actions to preserve our message board relatively with good taste.

Thus, moderators of our board hold the right to edit and delete a post, or lock a threaded discussion. If you do not like the changes we have made, please feel free to contact us. Please be civil and do not harass moderators.

If you continually violate the following set of rules, your account will be reviewed for a ban. Moderators have the last say in what activity is worthy of a ban or temp-ban, even if these current rules do not yet cover the reason for a ban specifically.

Screennames

We do not allow screennames that are misleading, promotional, offensive or disruptive.

Misleading screennames imply relevant, misleading things about the contributor. For example, misleading points of fact, an impression of undue authority, or the suggestion that the account is operated by a guild, group, project or collective rather than one individual. Promotional screennames are advertisements for a company, group, or guild. Offensive screennames make harmonious editing difficult or impossible. Disruptive screennames include outright trolling or personal attacks, impersonation, or otherwise show an intent to disrupt the forum.

Screennames that are inappropriate in another language, or that represent an inappropriate name with misspellings and substitutions, or do so indirectly or by implication, are still considered inappropriate.

Respect

Treat all members with respect in posts and private messages. Mabinogi World is a fan-based public venue visited by people of diverse origins.

Foul language and obscene images will not be tolerated. As well, messages aimed for personal attacks or flames will not be tolerated. Criticisms must be substantiated with examples to justify your beliefs.

If you have to ask yourself whether an image may be objectional to some users, then don't show it at all.

Mild profanity may be allowed based on the context, but do not attempt to cleverly circumvent this rule. Use at own peril.

Content

Keep threads relatively on track. Moderators will attempt to steer a discussion back to the topic. Please take personal exchanges to private messages.

Uploading or linking to hacks or any illicit modification of Mabinogi will not be tolerated. While Mabinogi World will not praise nor censure the distribution or partaking of such activities, we will respect Nexon America's interests and its code of conduct.

This includes asking for, or giving out, information on proxy/ip bypasses. Don't do it.

It also includes discussing warez, torrents, or other ways to obtain things illegally. Don't do it, and don't link to related websites.

It further includes discussion of private servers for any game. Don't do it.

This also includes mod discussion. Don't do it.

Communication

For better readability, please refrain from using "leet" speak or slangs. Also note that, contrary to popular belief, Caps Lock is not a cruise control for "cool".

Searching and Reading

Before making a topic or making a post, please use the search function or read through a forum before making another topic. Many times, similar topics are already made that fulfill the purpose of the subject at hand. If a topic is outdated, then feel free to make a new topic.

Banning

Evasion of moderation bans and temporary bans will not be tolerated and could lead to the permanent locking or even deletion of your primary account. This includes proxying or using VPN to change your IP so that you may access the banned account.

Permanent bans are given on a case-by-case basis and are usually reserved for habitually offensive users and spambots.

Solicitation

Commercial postings and semi-spam such as a referral to iPods or an invitation to polls are not allowed. Such posts will be edited or removed immediately.

Advertisements attempting to sell gold in Mabinogi will not be tolerated. We have a zero-RMT policy in these forums. Failure to recognize this rule will result in immediate, unconditional expulsion from the forums, and are not negotiable in any way.

Also, those who have been determined to be RMTing or trading with RMTs will be permanently banned from this website. This includes NX trades.

Finally, do not advertise unofficial (aka private) servers for any game.

Accounts and Registration Overseas

Please do not post requests for accounts or guides to registering Mabinogi overseas. Different countries necessitate different methods of registration, some requiring a legitimate Resident Registration Number.

In South Korea, it is strictly forbidden by law to disclose or to take advantage of personal information of others without a prior approval of the personnel. Korean prosecutor's office will not tolerate any unlawful behavior, and any violator will be subject to the prosecution that entails fines up to $2,000, 2 years of sentence, and further legal litigation.

Topics of such nature will be either deleted or locked. The only questions we will answer is if you already have access to a Nexon account and need help making a Mabinogi account. If you really want to know more about registration, use search or your favorite search engine and look it up.

This guideline is very general and will be revised when deemed necessary by the administration team.

By registering and participating in Mabinogi World forums, you agree to the above forum policies. If you are unable to agree, feel free not to participate in forum discussions at any time.
