Site Rules/Regulations
1. We've promised to respect you and we need you to respect others. That means that we will remove any phone number, address or other personally identifying information posted if it violates someone's privacy, is harassing or could lead to harassment or is otherwise inappropriate.
2. Offensive material is also prohibited. Offensive is a pretty broad term, but we think you know what we mean. (You're going to have to trust our judgment, if you don't.) This includes any messages or material that are ethnically, racially, religiously or sexually offensive, insulting or demeaning. It also includes messages that are harassing or threatening to others. In other words, if you wouldn't like it said about you, don't say it about others. We don't want to be censors, but non-constructive negative comments may be inappropriate.
3. No trolling or neo-trolling: Trolling means deliberately seeking to cause damage to the community. Neo-trolling is another variant of this whereby you try to cause damage without making it seem like actual trolling (ie: subtle and intelligent trolling). This can include:
B. Seeking to constantly or massively undermine staff.
C. Massively or constantly publicly attacking the forum or how it is run on sites both associated and unassociated with the forum.
D. Privately plotting to cause problems on the forum.
E. Maliciously breaking rules.
F. No hacking, or issuing hack threats: This carries an immediate server ban.
G. Respect the mods: If a mod closes a thread, or tells you to quit doing something, then please listen to them. While what they ask for may not make sense to you, it will make sense to everyone else who want what's best for the forum. If you are unhappy with a mod, then do not make a public protest thread, but PM an admin with the complaint and we will deal with it if necessary. You should have enough respect for mods and the time which they put in to be able to trust their judgment and the job that they do.
[/ul]
4. We have rules about RPing, to keep the RPs as clean and organized as possible. Familiarizer your self with these rules and feel free to suggest new RP rules at RP Rules
5. We reserve the right to monitor the boards and delete any postings that don't adhere to these rules, our standard site terms and conditions and our privacy policy. This includes postings that disrupt or interfere with our technical operations.
6. Finally, because we can't think of everything offensive or inappropriate that may be said, we reserve the right to immediately delete any posting or ban any user at our sole discretion. (Sorry, but it might be necessary.)
RP Rules
1. Buildings are not renewable resources, think of the location before you destroy
2. No severely damaging/killing someone if they play a part in the games story, remember we're in their world
3. No God Modding! This is controlling what happens to characters and things other then your own. For example:
This gives Raven a choice as to how to react to Karras's actions.
4. Pay attention to the current time frame of the PRP's and Main RP's. It becomes very irritating when someone says/does something that does not fit the era.
5. No posting in Private RP's that you have not been invited to post in. Only the MVP has permission to jump into a PRP, and that even then it is for curtain circumstances.
6. No offensive RPs
7. No invincibility, it's no fun to RP with someone who can dodge attacks that move at "Speeds they could not possibly dodge." Take a hit from time to time for the sake of the RP, it makes the story much more interesting.
8. Try and use longer posts, and good grammar.
9. There is a two line minimum, when RPing you must add some detail and thought to your posts. This means that the post must reach at least the second line. This must match up for a screen with a 1280x800 pixel resolution.
10. Keep the characters and their powers Jak related. We like and encourage creativeness, but this is a Jak based RP after all. So keep things close to Jak, small deviation is ok.
11. The use of G&F created ecos is prohibited unless given permission by the creator of the eco or G&F Administration.
12. No Powerplay. This is giving your character far too much power and abilities.

These are laws inside the RP's themselves. Characters caught breaking these laws by the Krimson Guard (MVP) will be sent to prision where they will stay for a set amount of time.
