Anyone found copying or otherwise reproducting images or other information contained within the MSN groups and the RMG web site are in violation of US Copywrite and Trademark Laws and will be prosecuted by the RMG to the fullest extent of the law.
1. In addition to all members of this Group being required to follow the MSN code of conduct, these guidelines have been created to make everyone's experience with Welcome to Wizardry more enjoyable. Anyone not following the guidelines will have their messages/photos/contributions to the site deleted and they will be banned from all RMG groups.
2. Anyone is able and welcome to view all aspects of this group as allowed by the parameters of the MSN programming. In order to use the various functions, such as the message boards, chat room, or photo albums, it is required by the programming that you become a member of the group.
2a. Becoming a member of this group does not qualify for official membership. In order to become an official member of the Real Millennium Group, the membership application must be filled out and submitted for approval of the officers.
2b. Group members are not required to become official members, and official members are not required to join Welcome to Wizardry, unless they wish to use the functions located herein.
2c. Joining one group only allows you to use the functions of that particular group. You must be a member of each of the groups hosted by the RMG to use the functions located in each.
3. Please do not use the message boards for advertising or just saying hello. If you wish to promote your web site, please do so on the Wizardry Links page. Please only promote Wizardry related sites - if you wish to promote a non-Wizardry related site, you must join either one of our other groups and post your link there. Do not use E-mail or message boards for advertising or spamming. You will be banned immediately for doing so.
4. When posting pictures, please follow the established theme for any albums that may exist, and use the Tapestries album to post single pictures of unrelated Wizardry material. If you wish to post several pictures that make up a theme, please create a new album for that purpose and post all your pictures there. For example: if you are just going to post a picture of yourself, do not create a new album - post your picture in the Tapestries album. If you want to post several pictures of you on a cross-country vacation, you can create a new album for this use.
5. When posting messages to the Magic Discussion boards or the Trading Post, please don't create a new thread if there are similar topics already being discussed. Each board has been created to cover a specific topic or game, so please post in the most appropriate one. For example: if you wish to discuss a particular strategy for fighting a specific monster in the Knight of Diamonds scenario, first look for a thread in the KOD board that might already cover that topic and post your message there. If no recent threads exist for the topic you wish to discuss, then you may create a new thread for the topic. Any messages not relating to the topic to which they are posted will not be approved by the group management.
5a. Please try to be as concise as possible when stating your opinions or facts on a topic. If at all possible, include references to any research you post on the web so others may benefit.
5b. To conserve space on the message boards, please us the smaller font sizes, and the shift+return/enter key to eliminate the extra space from occurring each time you hit return/enter. i.e. when we hit enter after typing the text for guideline #4, the space was automatically provided. In order to keep keep that from occurring with 5a and 5b, we held down the shift key while pressing return/enter.
6. Be kind to your fellow members. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but under no circumstances will racism, hatred, and the like be tolerated in Gigly's Tavern, Magic Discussion, or other areas of the group.
