Legend of MIR Community Network (LOMCN) 'Remit'
  • To provide and maintain resources to aid MIR users develop and play Legend of MIR 2/3
  • To provide a discussion area for MIR based topics

    General conduct: OVERALL
  • No trolling (being resident in one area, or to certain users for the purposes of provocation)
  • No hijacking (using other peoples threads to chat amongst yourselves in an off-topic manner or derailing a thread)
  • No gangs/clubs which are not authorized by the LOMCN staff.
  • No abusing staff in any way, shape or form.
  • No claiming other peoples work as your own.
  • No bullying of other members or staff
  • No posting of personal details or images of another user without their consent

    General conduct: POSTS
  • Do not post anything unrelated to the thread title, or a primary theme of the post (spamming)
  • Do not post anything threatening, offensive, obscene, vulgar, sexually orientated or hateful (abuse/flaming). Minor or proportional reactions are fine, but it's a thin line between that and abuse. You are best off avoiding all hateful text altogether.
  • Just don't bother posting if it's not going to contribute to the conversation.
  • Short, non-contributing posts will be removed and possibly result in a warning or infraction.
  • Do not advertise other MIR forums
  • Do not post links similar in nature to out-war or other referral systems
  • Facebook links have been globally banned from LOMCN
  • Do not post links to cheats of any kind
  • Double posting may lead to warnings - please use the edit function.

    General conduct: THREADS
  • Ensure you post in the section you find most fitting. Persistent disregard for our sub-forums will result in warnings/infractions. Posting in the correct section makes browsing LOMCN a lot easier for everyone.
  • Use descriptive thread titles. Titles should give users an idea of the overall content of your post.
  • If your thread is locked then do NOT make a similar thread about the same topic or a thread about why it was locked outside of the Question and Complaints section of the forum. Failure to abide by this rule will result with a warning or a possible temporary ban depending on the discretion of staff.

    General conduct: PRIVATE MESSAGES (PM's)
  • All rules which apply to posts and threads, apply to PM's.
  • Users experiencing problems with other users PM'ing them, should forward the problematic PM to an admin or moderator.

    SEE THE STICKIES IN INDIVIDUAL FORUMS, AS THEY MAY VERY WELL CONTAIN ADDITIONAL RULES

  • Staff may freely ban previously banned users with new accounts if they present a SINGLE problem.
  • Users may allow other people to access LOMCN using their account, however they also take responsibility for anything said user may do whilst on their account.
  • Allowing banned users access to your account will result in an immediate ban of your account.

Warning System has been revised

I know I said I would update all the rules but tbh these rules all seem fine
With the now infractions and no banning by mods I think thinks will work out fine

Staff please have a think before handing out an infraction and maybe give a warning infraction first
