The Old Shoutbox Rules
All listed rules must be adhered to if you wish to use the chatroom here at Rescreatu. Continued and repeated failure to abide by them can result in the permanent suspension of your chatroom privileges.
Please remember to read the Site Rules as well. They apply to every area of Rescreatu, including chatrooms.
1. If a staff member requests that you not do something, please listen to them, as they are only doing their job. Do not argue. If you feel you were treated unfairly by a staff member, you may privately Rmail Kozmotis or open a Support Ticket requesting that it not be answered by the staff in question, and your request will be reviewed.
2. Please do not spam the chatroom with unnecessary messages. Examples of spam include but are not limited to posting a long message or several messages in succession in all capital letters, posting excessive keyboard mashing (like “asgdfhgjkl;l;”, it is known that this is sometimes a reaction but doing it more than once or having a long post of just that is spam), excessive use of emojis, excessive use of the bold, strikethrough and italic chat codes, excessive use of punctuation or letters, and posting short messages in rapid succession instead of keeping them all to one post. This includes copy and pasting any on-site wording, sentences, game results, quest results, alerts, or anything else similar; with an exception for Hatchery Notifications only. The Shoutbox is for chatting, not showing off or spamming everything that happens as you play the game.
3. Please do not post negative statements such as "everyone ignores me!" or "no one here cares about me." The chatroom can become a busy place where users become involved in their own conversations among each other. No one is intentionally ignoring you. Instead of engaging in negative attention-seeking behavior, just join in the conversation instead and you will begin to be responded to. This includes repeatedly complaining about any issues in your life. Discussing issues occasionally is no problem, however, you are not allowed to only use the chatroom as a place to vent.
4. Posting links to material or websites which contain inappropriate material is strictly prohibited. Some examples of inappropriate content are anything containing racism, foul language, explicit imagery, or any other type of content which would not be allowed on Rescreatu. This includes linking to sites where you can comment, such as Instagram, or other chatrooms unmoderated by Rescreatu staff.
5. Advertisements of any type are limited to once per 30 minutes in the chatroom. Advertisements are any time you ask a user if they’re buying or selling anything or any service. Any suspected attempts of trying to use a loophole out of this, such as frequently posting your Kir quest without prompting or saying ‘I wish my Creatu would sell!’ will result in warnings. If you are giving away free items, pets, or TU, you may use the chat to announce this, but not in excess. Giving away hatches is fine; however if you have a lot of free things to give away, make a forum thread which you may advertise once every 30 minutes.
6. Please do not mini-mod. If staff are in the chatroom, any issues that may arise will be dealt with. If staff are not present, you can submit a report either via Support Ticket or by rmailing a Moderator with a screenshot or the username of the offender, including the date and time.
