n order to avoid any confusion about what people can and can't do on any forums hosted by Perfect World Entertainment; here is a more-or-less complete list of the rules. Unless explicitly stated, one should assume that the following rules apply to every forum and thread. Some forums may have additional rules, so check any appropriate "stickies" before you post.
A Note about Respect
We're here to have fun and to share information with each other. With so many different personalities gathered in one place, clashes are bound to happen now and then. But how one conducts oneself during these situations makes all the difference. Don't get us wrong, opinions are valued on the forums, yours and everybody else's. But please remember to respect each other and have discussions and not arguments. If you find yourself disagreeing with another member, think first and then calmly compose your words. Don't be insulting if you happen to disagree with someone, just understand that their views are different than yours. Just really treat each other how you would like to be treated.
Rules for Posting
1. No trolling, or flaming.
Any form of personal insult will not be tolerated. General rule of thumb: if you think that what you are about to post is insulting, don't post it.
2. No posting of personal conversations or personal information (from IMs or PMs).
Topics such as these are considered breaches of privacy. Please refrain from posting such items.
3. No False representation.
This is not limited to members of Perfect World's Staff. Any impersonation of any person or entity that you are not authorized to represent is considered false representation.

9. No advertising of any sort.
Posts or threads containing advertisements of any sort will be removed. Users posting such articles will be warned and/or will have their account privileges suspended, revoked, and/or terminated.
10. No porn or nudity.
Posting porn or nudity will get you banned. No links to pornographic sites or content will be allowed whatsoever. This includes nude cartoons.
11. No discussion on abortion or religion.
This is pretty self-explanatory. This is a gaming website and such topics don't belong here.
12. Keep posts in the appropriate forum.
For example, don't post a topic about Werebeasts in the Winged Elf forums.

Keep spam where it belongs, in a can.
14. Keep posts on-topic.
Keep the topic in mind when you post. Refrain from posting irrelevant information.
15. No mouthing off at staff.
16. No alternate identities.
This is instantly bannable.
17. No swearing.
18. No bandwidth theft.
Every time you link to a picture hosted on someone else's site without their permission, you are stealing their bandwidth. If you want to post an image, download the image and re-upload it to one of the many free hosting sites out there.
19. No representing banned members.
Don't represent any banned individuals. They were banned for a reason. Assisting them in any way or form will lump you in the same boat.
20. No posting "Graphic Images".
Anything that might be deemed "graphic" - corpses, dead bodies, mutilated bodies, or any else that might be disturbing - don't post these types of images.
21. No personal ads.
As stated before, this is a gaming forum. No, not "gaming" as in "spitting game" at the opposite sex, video games.
22. No public discussion about disciplinary action administered to members.
If you have any questions regarding rules, disciplinary actions, or even a thread move, please use the PM function of the board to contact us.
23. No discussion about other company's games.
This is Perfect World Entertainment's forums. Have a little respect for us, heheh.
24. Post only in English.
We have to make sure that we can properly moderate and understand the topics being discussed in the various forums. So please, keep everything in English.
25. Graphical & Text Signatures.
If you choose to display a graphic image with your signature please keep it in good taste. Please be respectful and avoid any content that can deemed as questionable (eg - violent, disturbing, obscene, sexual, racist, etc). Also prohibited is signatures with advertorial content. The only advertisements that will be allowed in your signatures is promotion related to PWI fansites. Admins of PWE reserve the right to remove any graphic signatures deemed inappropriate.
