Code of Conduct

Messaging Rules and Guidelines

Communities work best when they work together. Abiding by the rules not only creates a safer environment for us as users, it creates a more enjoyable environment. While using Zenkai Online, we ask you to treat each other with the respect that you wish to be afforded to you. All content on the forums shall be PG-13 unless tagged as ADULT.

We have provided a number of guidelines below to describe what behavior is expected from all users of Zenkai Online. Please note that these guidelines are not entirely exhaustive, and may not encompass or address all manner of offensive behavior. In this regard, the administration and moderator teams will have full discretion to take care of behavior that they feel is inappropriate.

These guidelines apply to usernames, profiles, faction chats and all other areas in which Users may enter text.

Please remember that access to the site is a privilege and not a right.

Do not bully, harass, or threaten others. Respect other people and do not start arguments between people or incite violence. Do not post the personal details or information of other people.

Zenkai Online does reserve the right to suspend access to Zenkai Online for the reasons outlined in our Terms of Service, or reasons that include, or not necessarily limited to, your failure to abide by these guidelines. Please also note that we reserve the right to evaluate each incident on a case-by-base basis.

Note: We are unable to moderate activities or posts that happen off of Zenkai Online; please remember that linking to rule-breaking content is treated the same as if that content is posted directly to the Zenkai Online website and will be removed.
