Rules of the Realm
Be Respectful
Don’t be a jerk. The Dwarves Keep is a community built and enhanced by all questing the realm. Respect each other. Do not harass, defame, or threaten others. Avoid making unwelcome comments (e.g. angry name-calling or outbursts of profanity). Racism, sexism, and other hate speech will not be tolerated. Any content that incites real-world violence will not be tolerated.
No Porn, No Exceptions
There are many other sites for smut. Leave your fellow adventurers alone and go there if you must.
Pornographic images and references to pornographic sites are strictly prohibited in the Dwarves Keep. Not sure what constitutes pornography? Avoid any content containing nudity or sexual references and avoid sharing links to sites that contain this content. When in doubt about the suitability of content, assume it’s in poor taste.
Do Not Spam or Solicit
Seriously, no one wants your stuff. This is not a venue to promote your site, services, enterprises, etc. Advertisements and solicitations of any kind are prohibited. Adventurers are here because they enjoy gaming, not peddling. If you have other motivations, find another realm to pester.
Crimes of High Treason
Want to get banished? These actions will likely result in blocking your current and future content in the realm:
- Posting, offering, or asking for login information of any kind for any site/service.
- Posting another person’s private information (job, gender, living situation, location, etc.) or contact information (address, email, phone number, etc.).
- Posting spam or affiliate links, content that could be offensive, or posts without content.
- Posting copyright-infringing material.
- Posting requests for money or currency of any kind.
- Harassing, defaming, or threatening others on the site. This includes threats of lawsuits or other legal action.
Please note that this list is not exhaustive. Every post is judged on its own merits. You’re at the mercy of the GM of the Realm, naturally.
Don’t Use All Caps
Don’t post in all caps unless you’re yelling. And really, why are you yelling? Tranquil posts, please. Simmer down.
Avoid Linking in Posts if Possible
Quandaries or Woes?
If you need assistance with a violation of these terms, scribe a message to the GM of the Realm. Be specific about the location and nature of any problematic content.
