School of Talent and Terms Of Service
You MUST be at least 13 years of age to play this game.
Players are only allowed to have ONE account, owning two or more accounts will result in all accounts being jailed in the Pit of Despair. You cannot restart your account or make a new one to restart for any reason. If you are on the same IP as another player, mail staff and let them know.
You are responsible for whatever happens on your account, DO NOT give out your password to anyone.
But if some one hacks your account you must tell a staff.
Swearing within reason will be permitted. Excessive sexual vulgarities or swearing will result in some time in The Pit of Despair until you clean up your act. Inflammatory subjects and themes such as politics and religion are also unwelcome as this is a game and not an appropriate place for these types of highly charged real life subjects.
Racial slurs and other disparaging remarks towards a specific race/gender/group/ethnicity will not be tolerated ANYWHERE in the game. Period. This includes private mails and chat. We are not kidding, we do not care if you meant it as a joke. We do not care if you are from that race/gender/group/ethnicity in real life. We do not care if you are using it as an abbreviated term. We do not care if you are not using it "in that way". Do not mention it. It is not needed, use another word. It is NOT appropriate here. Punishment for such a violation will be at the discretion of the Admin staff.
Profile images, avatars, character bios, and signatures with nudity, or otherwise offensive images will be removed, and may result in time in the Pit.
Do not spam the staff's mailbox, if you have a problem, message one of us once. They will deal with your problem in a timely manner, but do not mail them repeatedly, or mail multiple staff members.
Do not harass other players; use common sense on this one. If you don't know when you're crossing the line from fantasy into harassment, assume that you are harassing the other player.
This includes, but is not limited to attempts to drive someone out of the game, attempts to bend another play or choices to your will, personal threats in RL, stalking someone out of game, threats against ones RL family or property, distribution or use of personal information, photos, forcing yourself on someone in a sexual manner, etc...This will not be tolerated and will result in a stiff punishment.
Impersonating another player or staff member will result in Pit time.
Scamming will not be tolerated in any manner. Any attempt to scam anyone will result in being jailed in the Pit of Despair for a long long time.
If a member of staff is bothering you for any unfair or just plain, weird reason, mail Rosie[1] or HyliaKitty [2]. However, please remember that most staff members are volunteers and are players first. They are allowed to play the game. Please make sure that your claim has to do with them acting as a staff member and not as a player.
If you no longer wish to play SOT, you cannot give your account to another player, nor can you give away your characters away without a staff knowing. Your characters will probably be put up for adoption and your account will be deleted, if you want to come back inform a staff member.
The shout box, it is a shout box, not a large photo window, advertisement, screen, jumbo font playland, etc. Misuse it and you will be banned from its privileges.
Forum signatures are to be kept to a reasonable size, you can't have like a huge picture taking up half of the screen.
Spamming in the forums is not allowed. If you Spam expect to be banned.
Common sense rules are not posted here, if you can't determine the difference between what is okay, and what is not, you should consider not interacting with other people or doing the questionable act until you do understand.
These rules are subject to change without notice; check them from time to time, as ignorance will not be accepted as an excuse. ALL players in the SOT community are required to follow these game rules regardless of status.
