Forum Rules

• Respect the staff members at all cost. Insulting staff members will result in warning/ban.
• Respect other users. Insulting other users will result in a 20% warning. 100% means ban.
• Do not swear. Failure to comply and continued acts of doing so will bring punishment.
• Follow the rules of every respective section.
• Do not spam. Spam posts will be deleted and you will be warned after a certain number of spam-posts. This may also result in account termination.
• Do not double-post. Post as much info as possible into 1 post. Double posts will be deleted and you will eventually be punished for it.
• Do not spoil without using the "Spoiler" command. Spoiling may be considered up for a 10-20% warning if done consecutively.
• Follow the guidelines of every section provided to you. This is to prevent accidental spam-posting.
• Do not report senselessly. Report the posts you find are breaching any of the rules given.
• Do not spam karma. Otherwise, you will be punished accordingly.
• Do not send threatning messages to other users. This is a punishable offense (ban/termination).
• Do not use multiple forum accounts. You must inform a Staff Member of your new account and cease using the other one. Failure to comply results in all accounts being banned.

Chat rules

Due to the amount of inconsistency we've had in terms of warnings and the ban periods, we have a new set of rules in order to carry them out properly.

Every users warning history will be listed out here by the name of WP(Warning Points), whenever a user performs an action which breaks the rules of CFA, a moderator/admin will post how much WP the user received for that rule being broken and the post concerning warnings of user(s) will be updated accordingly. When a user hits a certain amount of WP, he'll be suspended/banned based on the WP he has, for example

• After a user hits 3 WP, on his 4th WP, the user will be suspended for 24 hours.
• After a person hits 7 WP, the user will be suspended for a week.
• After a person hits 10 WP, the user will be suspended for a month.
• And finally, after a person hits his 13th WP, the user will be banned, permanently.

The value of WP is based on the rule that is broken. There are two categories of offenses, a 'soft offense' and a 'hard offense'.

Soft Offenses

Soft Offense are offenses that usually give the person at fault 1 WP. They are not extreme but are still against the rules. The list of Soft Offenses are as follows:

• Spamming [(Flooding the chat with multiple messages, e.g: 5+ messages under a minute.)
  Excessive usage of swears is also prohibited. e.g: Using over four swears in a short timespan or consecutive messages)]
• Swearing (You are allowed to use swear words, provided they are not directed at and/or used to provoke/insult anyone.)
• Wrong Language in the chat (talking in non-english)

Hard Offenses

Hard Offenses are offenses that usually give the person at fault 3 WP. These are offenses that a user should avoid at all costs. The list of Hard offenses are as follows:

• Fighting with another user (attacking them with insults, provoking into an argument etc.)
• Spamming with links (Linking to inappropriate pages, Advertising etc.)
• Inappropriate Content (Content containing any form of nudity, breaking other chat rules, etc.)
• Racism (Do not attack a person based on his race)
• Harassment (Do not offend a person if they keep asking you to stop)
• Sexual Harrassment (Do not sexually offend a person of a different gender)
• Personal Information (Do not post personal info about any of the users. If you post personal info about yourself, you take full responsibility of the consequences.)
• Disobeying orders from a moderator [If you feel a moderator isn't doing his job correctly, contact one of the higher staff members (Admin/Global Moderator)]
• Double Account (other users/moderators/officials, using another account to create another persona etc.)
• Abusive Ban Appealing (Do not repeatedly complain about your warning or complain about someone else's warning to the moderator, Only the user who got the warning MAY give a valid reason as to why he/she should have their WP removed due to a wrong decision, if it is not a valid reason and just senseless complaining, then he/she'll receive a further additional +3 WP)

However, rest assured, users who show good conduct/behavior will have the opportunity to have their WP reduced by 3. On every 1st January, 1st April, 1st July and 1st October

Ban Appealing

When you're banned and you disagree with your punishment, you can appeal to us on forum. For that you need to post a topic here in Administration center. The form is:

• Ban reason: write here an official
• Moderator: write here username of mod, who banned you
• Change of punishment: write here desired change to your punishment (from lowering the duration of ban, to unbanning instantly)
• Explanation: here you're explaining, why we should change your punishment. It's better if you provide some evidences.

If you wont follow this form, we have the right to delete your topic without replying. Also if you appealing your ban in pm to multiple mods, or admins, you can be punished for that too.
