GLOBAL 1. Be nice to people. Respect people. Don't be rude to people. 2. Storm is based in the US. Follow US laws. Don't distribute pirated material, and don't slander others. Storm is has many users younger than 18, so porn is strictly forbidden. If we catch any porn, pirated material, and etc, there will be a permanent ban in your future. 3. No cheating. Don't exploit bugs to gain an unfair advantage. (Only applied to battles some of this includes: time stalling, losing for a friend to get them a higher rating, and etc.) 4. English is preferred so please use it, unless specified otherwise. 5. The First Amendment does not apply to the server, since this server is not a government organization. We will let you get away with many things you say unless it is offensive such as insulting religion and we can ban you instantaneously. 6. The usage of profanity is limited since this is a site where many children get on. We will not tolerate the n word no matter what. CHATS 1. Do not spam, flame, or troll. This includes advertising, asking questions with one-word answers in the lobby, and flooding the chat such as by copy/pasting logs in the lobby or anywhere. (Flooding is where you post at least four lines in the chat that are useless or have nothing related to the topic in quick succession) Also stretching is not permitted. (Turning "yay" into "yyyyaaaaaaaaaaaayyy") YAAAAAAAAY HI MOM! 2. No minimodding: don't mod if it's not your job. Don't tell people they'll be muted, don't ask for people to be muted, and don't talk about whether or not people should be muted ("inb4 mute", "inb4 ban", etc.). This applies to other punishments, too. 3. We reserve the right to tell you to stop discussing moderator decisions, if you become unreasonable or offensive. 4. Don't call unnecessary attention to yourself. Don't be obnoxious. ALL CAPS and formatting are acceptable to emphasize things, but should be used sparingly, not all the time. (This can apply in battles if a player feels disturbed by the other, but if both plays are fine, then it is all good, also if a mod or etc. is watching and they feel like you've been doing wrong, they have the right to do something about it.)
