Welcome to the official NYWOW Community Forums!<br />
Whether you're a new adventurer or a seasoned veteran, these forums are a place to discuss the realm, share experiences, help other players, and contribute to the future of NYWOW.<br />
By participating in our community, you agree to follow the rules below.</div>
<span style="color: #C99B60;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #D8AE71;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">01. RESPECT FELLOW MEMBERS</span></span></span><br />
Treat everyone with respect, regardless of their experience, opinions, or background.<br />
Harassment, bullying, personal attacks, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, and targeted hostility are not tolerated.<br />
Friendly banter and disagreements are welcome. Personal attacks are not.<br />
<span style="color: #D8AE71;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">02. NO SPAM OR ADVERTISING</span></span></span><br />
Keep discussions meaningful and relevant.<br />
Do not flood threads, repeatedly post the same content, excessively bump topics, or advertise unrelated websites, servers, products, or communities without staff permission.<br />
<span style="color: #D8AE71;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">03. POST IN THE APPROPRIATE SECTION</span></span></span><br />
Help keep our community organized by posting in the correct forum.<br />
Use General Discussion for NYWOW-related conversations, Report a Bug for technical issues, Suggestions &amp; Feedback for new ideas, and Off-Topic for unrelated discussions.<br />
Before creating a new thread, check whether a similar discussion already exists.<br />
<span style="color: #D8AE71;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">04. NO CHEATING, EXPLOITS, OR MALICIOUS ACTIVITY</span></span></span><br />
Do not distribute cheats, bots, malicious software, or instructions intended to compromise NYWOW or its players.<br />
If you discover an exploit or security vulnerability, report it responsibly. Sensitive details that could enable abuse should be shared privately with staff rather than publicly posted.<br />
Helping improve NYWOW is encouraged. Intentionally abusing vulnerabilities is not.<br />
<span style="color: #D8AE71;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">05. PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #D8AE71;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">06. KEEP CONTENT APPROPRIATE</span></span></span><br />
Do not post pornographic material, graphic gore, malicious links, scams, or content intended to shock or disturb other members.<br />
Avatars, signatures, usernames, and private messages must also follow our community standards.<br />
<span style="color: #D8AE71;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">07. RESPECT THE STAFF TEAM</span></span></span><br />
Our moderators and administrators are here to keep the community organized, fair, and enjoyable.<br />
Follow reasonable moderation instructions and avoid publicly harassing staff members over moderation decisions.<br />
If you believe an action was made in error, contact an administrator privately and explain your concerns respectfully.<br />
<span style="color: #D8AE71;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">08. CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK IS ENCOURAGED</span></span></span><br />
NYWOW is a custom realm that will continue evolving through development and community feedback.<br />
We welcome suggestions, criticism, bug reports, and discussions about balancing, progression, PvP, PvE, and new content.<br />
When giving feedback, explain your reasoning and offer constructive ideas whenever possible.<br />
Disagreeing with a feature is completely acceptable. Attacking developers or other players is not.<br />
<span style="color: #D8AE71;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">09. NO SCAMMING OR UNAUTHORIZED TRADING</span></span></span><br />
Do not use the forums to deceive players, coordinate scams, or conduct unauthorized real-money transactions involving accounts, characters, gold, or in-game items.<br />
Any suspicious activity should be reported to the staff team.<br />
<span style="color: #D8AE71;" class="mycode_color"><span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">10. MODERATION &amp; DISCIPLINARY ACTION</span></span></span><br />
Depending on the severity and circumstances of a violation, staff may take the following actions:<ul class="mycode_list"><li>
[] Verbal or written warning[] Post editing or removal[] Temporary posting restrictions[] Temporary forum suspension</li>
<li>Permanent forum ban<br />
</li>
</ul>
Serious violations may result in immediate action without a prior warning. Conduct that also violates NYWOW's in-game rules may be reviewed separately by the game administration team.<br />
Repeated attempts to evade disciplinary action may result in additional restrictions.<br />
