Word Count & Content Sections of Rules updated

[Kirok]

Fleeters,

In our continuing effort to update the 'rules' according to current practices, we have again updated the posting section.

In this case, we added wording regarding word count which was mission and changed the content section regarding our preference for following Star Trek canon verses non-canon.

Here are the updates:

SECTION 2 - Posting

2.0- Word Count

We do not have a minimum word count. We require you to make posts that effectively convey the concepts, actions, and dialogue of your character in an engaging way.

2.1 - Content

Posting with other characters and watching your own character grow and expand is an exciting process, however, there are rules governing what you can and can't post in the fleet. You MUST NOT post, PM or IM anything that:

• is obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit.
• depicts graphic or gratuitous violence.
• makes threats of any kind or that intimidates, harasses, or bullies anyone.
• is derogatory, demeaning, malicious, defamatory, abusive, offensive or hateful.
• goes outside the realms of possibility for your established character and/or others.

At Shadow Fleet we use Star Trek canon.  That is, we only use equipment, species and technology that has been established in Star Trek episodes, movies, and cartoons (though we are set in the "Prime Universe").

In addition, Memory Alpha can be used as a primary source for information and Memory Beta as a back up to fill in details not included but referenced in Memory Alpha.

Our Shadow Fleet Timeline of Events is historical canon as far as Shadow Fleet is concerned and any conflicting sources would be considered wrong for roleplaying purposes.

If something non canon does require creation, this creation will be subject to approval by the Admiralty and will require a discussion before implementation!

While character relationships are not forbidden, Shadow Fleet is a 13+ rated board, so if your characters do partake in extra-curricular activities during a date, keep the description to a minimum.

Shadow Fleet considers violation of these rules a serious offense. Anyone found to be continually breaking these will be subject to disciplinary proceedings.

We hope these changes meet with your approval.  But as always, if you have questions or comments about them please let us know.

Sincerely,

Kirok
