*Based on the post by former Transformice game administrator, Sydoline.*

• Always post threads in the correct subforum.
  If you don’t know where to post something, ask! Any Sentinel or Moderator will be happy to help.
• Don't bump up threads unnecessarily.
  If the last reply of a thread is older than two weeks and your post isn't adding something of value, please do not reply. Otherwise, it is considered necrobumping.
  If you're unsure about whether your post would be considered a necrobump, feel free to contact a Sentinel or Moderator to double check.
• Don’t double post.
  Either wait for another person to reply before posting again, or use the edit button at the bottom of your post.
  If you double post accidentally, please whisper a Leader or report it to have your post deleted.
• Don’t post duplicate threads.
  If you do so accidentally, either whisper a Leader or report the thread and it will be locked or deleted.
• Don’t spam the forums.
  Your posts should add something relevant to the discussion and not be intended to annoy others. Sentinels will remove posts that they classify as “spam”. Additionally, replying to a spam thread unnecessarily is also considered as spam. Please report any spam thread you come across instead of posting in it as you may run the risk of being warned for it.
• Don't spam emojis.
  Excess smilies look spammy and are unnecessary. Please only use them when they are appropriate.
• Don’t swear excessively
  While cussing isn’t against the rules, if you do so excessively it could result in punishment.
• No flaming, harassing, or insulting other members.
  Treat all users of the forum the way you would like to be treated. You should always respect the opinions and remarks of others regardless of whether you agree with them or not. If a comment breaks the forum rules, please report the post rather than to react to it. Bullying, flaming, insulting, derogatory comments and defamation will not be tolerated. Users are meant to feel welcome on these forums, not belittled or intimidated.
• No advertising.
  Please don't try to recruit people to other games or advertise your own website, e.g. a fansite. While we allow discussions about things that don't relate to Transformice, we don't allow referring people to other games/forums etc, especially if someone is monetizing from it.
• Don’t post links to anything pornographic, illegal or pirated.
  Links or images of anything inappropriate is a serious offense; people of all ages browse these forums, so keep that in mind.
• The forums are PG-13.
  We don’t allow sexually explicit content in ANY form – fanfiction, images, gifs, videos etc.
• If you are banned, do not create a new account.
  Ban evasion is against the rules. Even if it was only a temporary ban, do not try and access the forums from another account because the consequences will be brought by Atelier Sentinels.
• No inappropriate avatars.
  Please remember this is a PG-13 forum and therefore your avatar should reflect this. If are you unsure whether your avatar would be acceptable, feel free to PM a Sentinel to check. If you did not create the avatar yourself, please ensure you have the permission of the author to use it. Only the artist can report an avatar for being used without permission.
• Please try not to act like a Sentinel ("Backseat-moderating").
  If you think a thread or post needs moderation, please contact a Leader via one of the ways listed on the Staff FAQ (link). While we appreciate when you are being helpful to others, criticising a particular user's behaviour and giving instructions as a forum moderator would is unnecessary and can be classed spam. Therefore, posts like "This thread needs locking." are not allowed and will most likely result in a mute.
• Do not create a group/thread if a similar one already exists.
  If somebody has already created a thread about a topic or for a new group, please don't make another one; we don't need multiple threads about what effectively is the same thing. Also, don't make unorganized groups. If you want to start one, make sure it is detailed enough.
• Please obtain Leader permission to run a contest before creating a thread.
  No one likes a contest that's poorly run or fizzles out part way through. To make sure this doesn't happen, we ask that you please ask a Leader for permission to run a contest beforehand so that we know that you have adequate preparation. Poorly made contests or ones without permission may get locked.

Leaders will deal with situations in the way they believe is appropriate.
Even if the situation is not addressed in the rules, they are allowed to do what they believe is the best solution to the conflict, issue, or disruption. If you do not believe a situation was not resolved correctly, please contact a Leader and it will be discussed.

Punishments given will vary on whether you repeatedly break a rule or the severity of the offense, so there are no set guidelines.
And remember, if you are seen to be ignoring any cautions, mutes or warnings the punishment is likely to increase!
