THE COLONIES: RULES
BASIC
- Be polite to members and staff out of character. RPBs are designed to be a fun and welcoming place for everyone.
- No flaming, harassing, or making other members feel unsafe.
- Hate speech is not tolerated of any kind. This includes no slurs, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or sexism. The board is a safe space for all to be in.
- All topics must remain PG13. This is a Proboards rule that must be respected and followed at all times. There are minors who are on this board, and we must ensure this site is appropriate for them. Non-PG13 topics may be taken off-site as long as both parties involved agree. Proboards official rules regarding PG13 content.

- No griefing. Griefing is when a player irritates, harasses, or stalks other players within the game incessantly, usually without the other players' permission.
