This is a kid-friendly site. We understand some rules may feel constraining to adults but to be fair to all members we do need these rules to apply to everyone. In our efforts to keep kids safe we do have many rules you may not be used to and appreciate you taking the time to review them.
*Do not share your Spiral Knights Central user name or password. Our automated system alerts us to members logging in as each other. If we notice you are doing this all accounts involved will be banned*
Images pictures of yourself and Inappropriate Pictures - Pictures of yourself, family or friends are not allowed. Inappropriate pictures are not allowed. This includes images, words and abbreviated curse words.
Advertising & Outside links- Links and advertising other websites including chat boxes and live voice chat are not allowed anywhere on the site. *This includes writing sitename.com just because it's not clickable it is still considered directing members off site. The same rules that apply in the forums also apply to visitor & private messages. If you have a link you want to post, send a private message to an administrator to get it approved before posting it.
Posting images hosted on other sites (hot linking)- Images or pictures hosted offsite are not permitted for a variety of reasons. They could be deleted at the source and render your post useless here. Also, depending on where the image is hosted it could be considered bandwidth theft because they are paying to display it here.
Signature Size- Don’t make your signature image bigger than 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall. You can add text above or below your image but no more than a few lines. If your signature is taking up half the page it's too big.
Spam- Don’t spam the forums or chatboxes. “Spam” means: posting things that have nothing to do with the original post, double posting (posting two+ messages in a row), and over-using the smileys. Please use common sense with bumping, pay attention to when the thread was started and the usefulness of the thread. Bumping mini games because you want to play is ok.
Bumping threads- This means writing bump or just posting something to bring your thread back to the top. You can bump once every 24 hours.
Spamming other members - Do not spam other members through visitor messages or private messages with advertising. This includes but is not limited to your graphic shops, stories, blogs, chain letters and websites.
Rants- Please don't start a thread ranting about what other people are posting. If you don't like the topic move on to another thread. If their topic is breaking a forum rule please report it.
Report button- Every post has a report button on the upper right. Please report any post you feel is breaking a forum rule. Please do not post a reply to the person breaking the rules. We don't need back seat modding. We have a report button and moderators to handle those that are breaking the rules.
Deleted posts- If your post or thread was deleted/closed do not repost it, it was deleted for a reason. Please do not post or start a thread about a deleted post/thread. If you have a question as to why it was deleted please PM a staff member.
Cheats and 3rd party programs - Are not allowed to be discussed here.
Spiral Knights in game items - Because of the risk for fraud we do not allow trading or selling of Spiral Knights Items bought in real life. Sharing a code without asking for anything in return is fine.
Password and Personal Information- Do not give your Spiral Knights or Spiral Knights Central password to anyone. Please report anyone that asks for that information. Do do not post your personal information anywhere on the forums. Report anyone that asks for your personal information to a moderator immediately.
Arguments/Fights and naming members from in game- Don't start fights, don't get involved in fights. If a fight starts notify a moderator. We do not allow members to name other people from the game in a negative way.
Posting- The moderators have to be able to read your post in order to moderate. This means no intentional misspelling of words or posting in languages other than English, Spanish, French, German, Turkish or Italian.
Unwanted Criticism or CnC- We are a friendly forum, responding to someone's post to simply offer UNINVITED criticism regarding spelling or grammar corrections is not permitted.
