TEP RMB Rules and Guidelines


English

English is the preferred language on the RMB. Accepted uses of non-English language in RMB discussion includes messages sent with translations, small messages/exchanges, or requests for help by mutual speakers, where the requester is unable to comfortably speak English

Moderation may suppress excessive uses of non-English language beyond acceptable uses after it is universally clear the poster received a fair warning.
Translation and clarification may be provided by request.

Spam

Spam is not allowed under any circumstances in the East Pacific. There are four types of spam not allowed within the East Pacific.

The first example is pingspam. Pingspamming is mentioning or quoting any nation at least ten times within the past 40 messages. Say for example I pinged Aivintis 12 times in 20 posts- not allowed!

There is also chainposting- also known as posting three or more times in a row. This makes the RMB look disorganized, and it is useless because one can just use the edit button to edit all of your new content into one post. The edit button is your friend! Similar the chainposting is multiposting, where someone posts the same message, or posts similar enough to each other, to cause disruption to the community and/or on-going conversation.

Posts of Excessive Length is another instance of spam, which means posting messages with 2500 characters or more without a spoiler. Use a spoiler by doing

[spoiler]this.[/spoiler]

Harassment

Now that we've gotten the spam out of the way, it's time for Harassment. Nobody likes harassment. It leaves everyone feeling hurt, and leaves the harasser banned from TEP. Don't harass people.

Flaming and flamebaiting are both types of harassment designed to make someone angry- however, there are differences between the two. Flaming is calling people mean names, threatening, that sort of thing. Whereas, flamebait is designed to make someone angry and flame back without necessarily flaming. Promotion of Extremist Ideologies- defined as promoting ideologies that discriminate against certain groups of people, sometimes falls into Flaming or Flamebaiting.

Impersonation is claiming you are someone you are not. Say, for example, I claimed I was TEP's dear Delegate- not allowed. The same punishment applies for whomever you decide to impersonate.

Malicious Quote Editing is someone editing another's message using the Quote feature to make them look bad. For example, if I made a normal post saying hello and someone edited it to make it look like I'm saying something hurtful, I would be punished for Malicious Quote Editing.

Posting explicit material is posting material that's, you know, NSFW. I will leave it at that.

Finally, promotion of distasteful ideologies like fascism, Nazism, or similar extremist philosophies is completely forbidden.

Advertisement

For the last category, here's the Advertising rules. Advertising any region (except for The East Pacific), whether it be the North Pacific or any random UCR with only one nation, is not allowed under any circumstances.

And that's that! You are now informed on the ruleset of TEP's RMB! Have fun and follow the rules! If you have any questions, please contact the Delegate or any Regional Officer about your question.
