These are the site rules by completing
your registration you affirm that you have read these rules and agree to abide by them.
Failure to do so will result in
consequences.
If you have any
questions about any of these rules do not hesitate to contact us at:
Info@whisperingrealmschat.net
Admins, Mods and Room Owners
The rules listed below in the Basic Site Rules (B.S.R) Pertain
to everyone. But more
so with admins, mods,
and owners. IF anyone under this is caught breaking any of
these rules
it can lead to
Removal of position, removal of room and possible banning.
|
Language, Verbal Abuse, Harassment, Stalking and
Lurkers
Language and Verbal Abuse.
Sometimes in the heat of an RP strong language and
violence can happen in character
but please keep this in character. Any OOC abuse
on Whispering Realms will not be
tolerated and the user will be banned
without a warning, we have and enforce a zero
tolerance policy on this, so
be aware there is NO wiggle room on this. If there is an
OOC issue between
players please take it off site. If rude or vulgar language is used
to
describe how you wish to harm someone or what you wish would
happen to them
you will be banned from
Whispering Realms Chat immediately. |
Harassment and Stalking.
We as well have a zero tolerance for harassment,
and stalking. If a player comes on the site with the intent to harass someone and proof
has been given to us, You will be banned from the site. If a player feels
that another player has followed them from site to site to harass them,
they have the right to ask the room owner they are playing to banned the
offending player (Room owners have the right to ban anyone for any reason
they do not
need proof of the harassment), if that player goes to another
room and pms the player to harass or talk, this will lead to a site
banned. To add if we find that someone has been harassing someone from
room to room we as the site have the authority to find that proof then
decide what to do next. We have let our administrators know that if this
happens, to ban temporarily the person(s) involved and then we will figure
out where to go from there. Our administrators are under this rule
as well! |
Lurkers (unwanted lurkers)
Lurking in a room(s) to see what is going on to see if you are
interested in the playage is one thing. Or just
checking out the site is
ok. But coming on to the site, lurking and then when the room owner and or
admin says hello to you or asks you something you then vanish. This is not
going to be tolerated. And the decision to ban is up to the room owner and
or admin of the site. |
Spamming, Flaming, Recruiting, and Visiting Site
Owners (Owners from other sites)
Spamming, Flaming, and Recruiting
IS not allowed at Whispering Realms Chat,
we also do not condone, nor encourage recruiting at other sites to Whispering
Realms Chat. Please understand that talking to your friends, family
members, and acquaintances on any social media site, or email, or anything
that is not Whispering Realms chat is not considered
recruiting, these are systems that are not affiliated with Whispering
Realms Chat and are registered to the individual user, these are your
personal communication methods and are outside of our control.
However, if
you enter a room solely to get someone's offsite information,
with intent to recruit this is recruiting, especially if there was no
previous contact between yourself and the person in question is considered
recruiting. OR asking Someone from one room to go to your room, is
not only rude but will not be tolerated. Flaming of any site will not be
tolerated on site at all, we are not interested in inter-site drama so
please keep your opinions of other sites to your personal communication
methods such as the ones listed above. Whispering Realms Chat does allow
site wide messages for certain occasions, new room openings, new story
lines being launched, and other important updates that users should
be aware of. Please feel free to politely ask others on site to join
you in your RP, but do not pressure them, Whispering Realms wants to
provide a fun and light environment to role play in, such pressure does
not create that environment. We have a zero tolerance policy
on this, failure to comply with this rule will result in a temporary or
permanent site ban. |
Visiting Site Owners.
(Owners from other sites)
Please if you are another owner from a
site, you are more than welcome to come and play on Whispering Reams Chat,
but please do not come to Whispering Realms Chat and talk about your site
on our site or the role plays that have happen on our site. Again there
are plenty of instant messengers that can be used for
that. As well, do
not tell us "Well on my site we do not do it that way!" We run our
site differently than others, is not your job to
come here and tell us how to do things. |
Sexual content, Images, Tagline
Content, Handles
Room content.
Rape, graphic sexual rp's are not allowed at all if any user is caught doing
such an rp, in a PUBLIC room, the user will be warned
once and only once then severe consequences
will be enacted. These consequences include but are not limited to,
temporary site ban, permanent site ban, or removal of your owned
realm. It takes a lot for Whispering Realms Chat to remove a realm
but this is one instance where we would consider removing the realm. We do
not wish to seem prudish, however we also understand that a lot of users
access the site at work, or at home in the presence of children so please
keep your RPs tasteful. We do this because we have no real way of
monitoring age and it would be unfortunate for a user to be fired or get
in trouble because
their
boss or mother saw what was going on. so please keep this in mind while playing.
If you feel the need, and are an
are of the age of 18 we have Private Rooms to do more personal role
plays in, we do not monitor these rooms. And this is not an excuse to make a room and have a
huge orgy in
either. We can not be in control of what
happens in these rooms so if a Minor goes in and is rping something they
should not be, we do not have the
power to control it, and in the court of law we will not be responsible. Though we have rooms rated 18+ understand that this is due to language and
violent content, NOT sexual content. (IF anyone has any questions on this,
room owners or players please contact the site owner BEFORE you go on with
your rp.) |
Images
While we understand that images help give
the other player ideas about the character, their personality, and of
course their looks we also understand that as said above some users access
the site from work so please no frontal nudity, or full butt shots, side
shots are acceptable but make sure the important bits are covered.
Men can have bear chest, but not women, basically if you would wear it to
the beach with your grandmother and her bridge club it is probably
acceptable in a picture. If you are struggling to find a picture
that is suiting for your character, or
you have a character picture but
need it covered please email us at
whisper@whisperingrealmschat.net and we will be glad to help you.
|
Tagline Content
Keep your tag line clean, we have had to ban
people due to the obscenity in their tagline. We do not mind some cussing in them, Just keep
it to a low roar. IF you have anything about rape, killing babies, or
anything else that would be considered as obscenity. Keep it clean use
your best judgment again if you are not sure ask the site owner or one of
the Admins. |
Handles
Keep your handle clean. When looking at the who's
on we want to keep it Rated G. IF we see a handle that we feel
offensive we will discuss it with admins and if and at that time we are
all in grievance, we will ask the user to change
their handle. Once you are in a room if the room owner is ok with the
handle that is fine, But as site wide who's on,
please keep it clean use
your best judgment again if you are not sure ask the site owner or one of
the site Admins. |
Site / Room Banning
Once
you have been banned, from either a room or the site, you cannot make
another handle so you can log in again. If you have been ban from a room and create another handle to
come back in the room you will be site ban. IF you circumvent that site
ban we will contact your ISP and file a
harassment compliant. If we have IP ban you and you continue to come in
we will take further steps even if it means getting law enforcement
involved. There are strict anti stalking laws
that pertain to the internet now days and there is a 0 tolerance with
the US and with Whispering Realms Chat. |
Room Banning
If a room owner has
decided that someone has pushed the limits of the room rules or
themselves they can ban
you, they can ban you if they have no good reason at all it is their
right as a room owner, if you are not wanted in
a room we always suggest do not go into it but we know some people just
like to push it with the room owner. IF
you have been ban from a room, DO NOT make another handle to try and get
in that room OR do not go to
another room and do the global pm and pm them from another room.
IF you do this, you can be site ban for trying
to circumvent a banning and harassment of a player on the site. Room
owners use the steps below to Ban
someone. As well, if there is an admin on
please let them know, so we are aware there is an issue and we can stop it from
going any further. We do get an email but are not always checking that.
|
To do this you must have rights to
enter the mod area for the room follow the instructions
below to ban a player:
Go to
Realms
Choose
your realm
There
will be a Ban/Access button.
Put the
login Name and how long you wish for this person to be ban
for.
MAKE
SURE YOU put a reason for banning, When you ban someone the
Admins
get an email, if the person who is being ban comes to us and
asks us why, we
are lost. |
If you
have any questions with this process please let us know. If you have
been ban and feel you did not deserve
it please contact a site admin if we need to have a meeting between
owners and chatters we will. It is not our
job to tell a room owner how to run their room, with that being
said, if you walked in and they ban you and
did not give a reason we will try to moderate and get down to the
bottom of the issue. At the end of
the day
the room owner has the last word, if they do not wish you in their
room then it is over and done with. If you
try to go around that ban then Site Admins get involved and then we
have the last word. We want people to
be happy, feel, and be safe on our site.
Canon Handles/
Rooms That Use Canon Handles.
Canon handles must be cleared with
the room owner. We understand that there is appeal in playing some of your favorite characters but someone else may already be playing that
character, please show some courtesy and make sure it is alright BEFORE
creating the handle. Do not just go into a room and start taking up
handles that you may never end up
using. Room owners can not take every canon
handle out there! To request a canon handle you simply need to email the
host/hostess of the room you would like to play it in and ask. If you
break this rule you will be given a warning and a chance to remove the
handle. You will get 3 chances, and 1 week total to remove the
handle, failure to do so will result in the administration removing the
handle for you and could result in a temporary site ban. If you have
any questions regarding this rule, please email us at
Info@whisperingrealmschat.net before creating the handles in question.
|
Rooms That Use Cannon
Handles
As most sites go there are some
times more than one of the same room genre, If your room has canon
handles that other rooms might use in their rp please add it to the canon handle
area in the admin area of the room. If you
do not know how to do that follow these steps. |
To do this you must have rights to
enter the mod area for the room follow the instructions
below to add canon handle:
Go to
Realm
Choose
your realm
At the
very bottom of the choices you have, (ie, realm setting,
design, etc) should
be the last one, you will see canon
handles.
Add the
Canon Handle, and then the users log on name that will be
using it. |
Room owners, a suggestion,
please if you have canon handles already taken in the canon handle
area, assign them to your
own handle and as handles are taken just put the new owner of that
handles log on name in as the owner. And
make sure on the splash page you have that there are canon handles
to the room and they must request
via email, messenger, or what ever they need to do to apply for that
specific handle. |
Room Requests, Process, Splash Page Content and
Copywriters
Room Requests
If you have a room idea we would
love to hear it please feel free to email us at this email address Just make sure that if you have a room on another site that Site A
does not mind you having rooms on two
different sites, that is fine, we do not have that rule, If you
want to have a room on every site out there as long as
your room does not sit empty for long periods of time we do not
care where you rp at just if you own a room we
expect you to be there, again we know how things can be if you are going
to be gone for a while please let us
know. IF we see you are rping on every other site out there and you have
0 posts in your room for 2 months we will
bump it down to hybrid. We will rarely just delete a room from the site
for it being empty, NOW if we have not
heard from you in a year, the room will come down. As well just because
you have a room on another site does
not make it an automatic NO for you to have one on our site, we will
respond to your email and ask somequestions then we will decide if we put your room up on Whispering
Realms Chat.
So follow below and email them to
RoomRequest@whisperingrealmschat.net.
Emails need to be in the following
format:
Subject:
Room Request for (Realm Name)
Your Name:
(Login Id)
Your Email:
Realm Genre:
Realm Mods (we need their Login names to give them proper
access):
Will you need images made for the room?
Realm Description: |
Room Creation Process
Once we have received your room request and have agreed
to put it up, it will be put in hybrid status until the room owner has everything
set up and working correctly. Once this is done the room will be moved
public status. |
Splash Page Content. * indicates is a must
Story line
*Rules
* Site BSR Link
*Canon handles (if there are
any)
*Contact information. |
Copywriting
Theme rooms, if a room is from a movie
like Lord of the Rings or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and you use any images
from those films or shows you must have copy write credits some where
either on your splash screen of on the footer of your page. It is the law
if you use their concept and art work they have to have this. If you are
using an artists images please email them and if you can not at least put
their link on your splash, it is not
necessary but always nice to show you do care about the artists. (If the
room is a theme room and the author / artist requests that we remove the room we have to comply due to
copyright laws. We do not do this to be mean but we too have laws
and rules we must comply with.) |
Room Removals or Name
Changes
Room Removal.
Breaking the site
AUP and
BSR
repeatedly or bad enough will cause you to be banned and therefore your
room to be removed. We are not the Gestapo but we can not have you all
walking over us. If you request us to remove the room (All requests
should be done by email) we will of course remove it right away. It
is your room and you have the right to move it if you
wish we might ask why and see what is going on for
you to want to remove it.
One main thing, if you open a room
it is yours we will not take it down, unless absolutely necessary, if you
decide
to take it down we are not going to
shun you from the site. If you are too busy to run one, we will suggest
putting
it in hybrid till you get the time
to play. WE made Whispering Realms chat for people to have a place they
can own a room and
not have to worry about being there every day. If we have seen you
have not been in your room
for 2 months we will first email you, if you ignore the email, or just
have personal stuff going on and we have not
heard from you in 1 weeks time we will drop the room to hybrid. We are not going to ban you or be mean and we would love to have
you at Whispering Realms but we are not going to beg you to stay either,
we think that the atmosphere on site and the friendliness will make you
want to stay. |
Name Change
If you wish to change your room name
please let us know, again it will be put in hybrid till the owner gets
all the information and images up, then it will be put to public
status. You will be granted 2 room name changes, IF we
are doing the graphics each time for that we might ask if you could
donate something to the site, but are not
going to push it |
Site
Donations
Site donations are nice but not necessary, IF you donate to a site
does not mean you get your room moved to
hybrid for being empty for 2 months. All Money donated will go to
keeping the server going. You can donate by
clicking on the donate button on the portal page. |
Room Programming
We have onsite room programmers
and they will make you anything from your splash page to your com panel, buttons and all. Please if you need them ask that is what they are there
for. We as well will do images for your room. If we do the images
they are the property of the person who did them, this means if you decide
to leave Whispering Realms Chat you cannot use the images unless you have
discussed it with the person who did them. Not all sites use the same code
so if you try to copy and paste the code it might not work on that site or
on ours from a different site. |
