The Rules

Age: Vanishing Point doesn't operate any formal age policy, since the staff recognise that idiocy is no respecter of age or youth.

No twinking, no powergaming: It's hoped you'll know what these are. If not, ask.

Tiny Sex / TS: ...is no substitute for the real thing. We don't care if you do it, but please keep it private? If not, there's always the risk Auvin might wander in and start offering helpful hints.

Sexual Harrassment: This is a complete no-no. Anyone found guilty of sexual harrassment will be @toaded. In addition, don't ever expect to be able to connect to Vanishing Point again. Loser.

Rudeness: If another character is being provocative and rude, and doing it all in character, tough. That's something that characters do. If another player is being rude on a public channel, you have the option to leave the channel. If another player is being rude to you via page, you might want to make judicious use of the 'page #ignore' command. In addition, you may tell a member of staff. If another player is being offensive in a public room, inform a member of staff. There are plenty of creative solutions to this.

Angst: You think you've got problems? Well, tough, we all have. Auvin and Dok both have to suffer each other's company in real life, so anything that you might have to put up with pales into insignificance. In other words, if you have a RL problem, please keep it out of player areas. By all means discuss it in a private room, but please don't pressure other people for sympathy. We're here to roleplay, not to act as a therapy group. Note: If it's IC angst that's the problem, contact Ilsemar to learn how to do it in style.

Language: Feel free to turn the air as blue as you fucking like so long as no other wanker objects.

Additionally, some players find mis-spellings, bad grammar and abbreviations unacceptable, or at least aesthetically unpleasant. No-one can be expected to create completely typo-free poses, but please remember that you are in a text (not txt) based environment, and use language appropriately.

While we're on the subject, baby talk is not cute. In fact, it's positively nauseating. Please don't make us visit the vomitorium. You really won't like us when we return. Anyone found violating this will be on clean-up duty, too.
