Identity Forum Guidelines
Last Edit: July 9th, 2018

Participation in the Official Identity forums constitutes agreement to the following guidelines, which apply to posts, profile information, avatars, signatures, private messaging, and any other content on this site and participation in general.

The live nature of discussions in this community makes it difficult for staff to catch every violation of these rules. If you believe that someone has violated our User Guidelines, please send a private message to a member of our volunteer moderation team or staff with a link to the content and a brief description of what you believe is wrong. Please do not respond to a violation personally, as you may aggravate the situation and possibly violate our guidelines yourself.

Any content that violates our User Guidelines will be removed. Interpretation of our guidelines is at the discretion of the staff.

Please do

1. Report violations of the forum rules. Moderators will quickly review reports and make decisions based on the information you provide.

2. Respect others. Showing respect will encourage others to participate in discussion.

3. Like posts, that you feel contribute useful information to a discussion.

4. Read the rules, so that you do not accidentally receive an infraction or ban.

5. Be constructive. Help others by answering questions, and offer feedback to their ideas.

6. Read before posting. Fully Comprehend the topic of discussion and determine what has already been discussed.

7. Use proper grammar and spelling. Read your post before submitting. Spelling mistakes may attract attention away from the discussion.

8. Search for content related to your questions. There’s a good chance that there may already be an answer to what you are looking for!

Please don’t

1. Troll. Trolling does not contribute to meaningful discussion.

2. Spam. Spamming clutters the forum and makes it difficult to find original content.

3. Flame, or attack others. Insults do not contribute to discussion, and will be removed.

4. Repost Deleted Content. Content that was deleted was removed for a reason, even if the reason is unclear.

5. Demonstrate or perpetuate toxic behavior. A user is considered toxic if they repeatedly make defamatory, threatening, insulting, or otherwise hateful remarks toward other users or staff. Please keep language civil when expressing your opinions.

6. Advertise websites or services unrelated to Identity. We do not sell advertising space on the Identity forums.

7. Cross Post. Cross-posting makes it difficult for users using the search function to find relevant information, and may be considered spam.

8. Ask for Likes. Likes are given to those for contributing useful information in a discussion.

9. Abuse reports. Reporting content with blank or inaccurate report descriptions will hinder a moderator's capacity to help. Please report content that is in violation of the rules, and not simply because you personally dislike another user.

10. Engage rule violators. You may accidentally violate these rules yourself by responding to others that you feel aren’t following these guidelines.

11. Make low-effort posts. Contribute useful information to the discussion, and avoid going off-topic.

12. Discuss Politics/Religion. These subjects are sensitive and may offend others.

(There is a small place for fantasy politics within Identity's ecosystem. The Governor position will be able to tweak small settings within the game world, and must compete against others for power. The political systems within Identity are simplified and do not accurately reflect the processes involved with political discourse in the real world.

Players may implicitly take inspiration from existing candidates or parties, but must not show any connections to real world politics through the use of logos/symbols, names (of existing leaders, existing parties, or of those within recent history), or slogans. By affiliating your party with a real world political faction, you are bringing such politics into discussion and grabbing the attention of those who recognize it. Real world politics typically invoke a strong emotional response in some viewers and can lead to vehement conflicts extremely quickly.)

13. Create multiple accounts. Only one account per person is authorized, so forum users can be easily identified. Avoiding a ban may result in further permanent action.

14. Operate a shared account. Sharing an account with another user will make conversation difficult should any of the account operators share a difference in opinion. Conflicting statements will impede our ability to help assist any single user on a shared account. Due to this, we request that each account is operated by a single, separate user.

15. Create forum posts that mention specific users in the title. Creating a new topic with the title specifically mentioning another user isn’t conducive to group discussion, especially if the targeted user isn’t comfortable responding in an open format. (For example, don’t make posts like “@usernamehere, why is x and not y?”) If you’re asking a question directly to another user, please do so using the inbox function on the forums.

16. Post Personal Information, or post links containing personal information. Sharing information about others can be harmful to their real-life.

17. Use forum features in unintended ways. Asking for likes, or making a game that incorporates the like/follow buttons artificially inflates user forum stats, making it difficult for other users to determine which content or user is contributing popular content to the site.

18. Discuss Moderator or Administrator actions Publicly. There are often reasons why a decision is made by a moderator or administrator that may be unclear to outside-parties, and off-topic discussion about an admin or moderator decision may be disruptive to a conversation. We politely ask that you trust and respect decisions made by staff. If you have an issue with a specific staff member, please report the matter to a Community Manager.

19. Impersonate Asylum Entertainment Staff or Moderators. When users seek assistance from moderators or Asylum staff, they shouldn't need to worry about encountering the possibility of dealing with an impostor. Always heed the official titles for staff roles on both the forums and discord to help avoid confusion.

20. Intentionally Spread False Information. Spreading rumors you know are falsified and portraying them as fact will only complicate Identity's development and serves to derail the actual constructive criticism offered by other users. Even accidentally giving out false information can be dangerous, so please ask a staff member or reference official statements (Dev Blogs for example).

21. Post or link to illegal, dangerous, offensive or NSFW content. Do not engage in activities that include (but are not limited to) the sharing of sexually explicit content, piracy, malicious code execution (viruses, malware, spyware etc.), gore. Please keep posts pertaining to the M-rated content in Identity reasonable.

22. Create or operate an account with the intention of solely boosting or supporting another user's reputation, poll votes, or opinions. We ask that all users contribute to the forums in ways that don't simply perpetuate someone else's particular viewpoint or account statistics.

***Moderators and staff have the final say on all matters. If you would like to report moderator abuse, contact a Community Manager directly. Creating public threads or posts that question or reference administrative decisions or potential administrative decisions is not permitted.***

***Freedom of speech rights do not extend to privately owned websites, such as this one. These guidelines detail the types of behavior and activities that are allowed here.***

***We reserve the right to deactivate any account and to edit or remove any content without warning. These guidelines are subject to change at any time without notice.***

***If you have a question or suggestion about our User Guidelines, please do not hesitate to contact a moderator or admin and we will be glad to help in any way that we can.***
