So, I figured it would be a good fucking idea to get this question out of the way now. This post will be stickied, so that every new player can see it. I will require every players agreement in the comments, that they indeed read these and are fully aware of the consequences.
So, for starters, we all know the world is full of dickbags, no question or argument really. Whether they believe they don't need manners because they are ensconced behind a monitor, think their digital personae are actually them, or something of that sort, they are everywhere. As one of the Main Moderators, it is my job to ensure we all have an open, creative, and relatively safe roleplaying arena. Keeping that in mind, I have come up with this list of bannable offences, both Minor and Major, to ensure everyone gets the most from their experience here in Isle of Crete.
Without further bullshit talking from my windbag ass, here they are :
Minor -
More may be added, as the other GM's chime in, but these are the basis. Just use common sense, and enjoy yourself. And remember, Only Might Makes Right!

Without further bullshit talking from my windbag ass, here they are :
Minor -
- Any ooc drama, past two warnings
- Inability to Learn tenets of decent roleplaying, such as bringing OOC in IC conversations, using the boards for purposes other than Roleplay, Failure to observe proper posting order. Most will start off with warnings. Continued offences will result in suspensions.
- Soliciting, whether for business purposes or Personal.
- Requesting Personal Information from fellow players. For the Most part we are here for roleplay. If someone wishes you to contact them, they will probably give you their info in a Direct Message. If not, deal with it.
- Failure to adhere to others RP limits. If people have limits, its for a good reason. We have direct messaging for a reason. Use it before attempting any RP that someone may consider out of bounds. Rape, Mutilation, Bondage, Capture, Etc. Etc.
- Failure to properly RP captures, defeats, etc. You agreed to the RP, so do not half ass it, by breaking out of a capture rp, simply because you are bored. Granted, it can happen, but instances will be rare.
- Fading an RP To Black without approval of a GM. We are the final discretionary force on FTB's. As a general rule of thumb, FTB's will be a rarity, if they are ever handed out period.
- Repeated instances of Godmodding or Metagaming.
- Repeated Instances of Godmodding, or Metagaming, after a warning, and Minor Ban
- Any OOC bashing or language considered abusive. You may find it amusing to call people racial slurs, insinuate they are homosexuals, etc. However, it has no place on these Forums, period. IC, fair game. OOC, will not be tolerated.
- Playing an unapproved Character. If I find anyone playing a character that wasn't expressly given my approval, they will be temp banned. This is your only warning.
- Any OOC drama persisted after warnings. On this forum, we will be doing dark roleplays with Adult subject Matters. You will be expected to uphold that level of maturity, even OOC. No questions asked. We are not High School teachers, or your Mom. We do not wanna hold your hands and keep you out of trouble. You, by playing here, show yourself capable of doing that on your own. Do not disappoint.
- Any minor caught engaging in Adult roleplay. There are laws against paedophilia for a reason. I am fully aware that different States and Countries have different Ages of Consent. For the record, if you are under 18, no Adult RP.
- Any persistent negative behaviour the GM's deem nonconducive to Roleplay, up to the GM's discretion. Examples can be anything from a repeated inability to be able to roleplay in a Dark Manner, whether through joking or things of that nature, to repeatedly calling people cunts.
