==Customizable Field Violations==
 
 
The use of offensive terms and language for a [[nation's motto]], [[currency]], [[national animal]] or the [[national title]]. The use of flags over 300x200 pixels, and the use of swastikas or pornographic images are also not allowed. The use of human or racial terms as national animals is expressly forbidden.

*'''Events Log Spamming''': See [[Spam]].
 
 
*[[flaming|Flame]]: Expressing anger in uncouth ways with OOC comments (i.e. swearing, being obnoxious, threatening etc.)though it does to watch what you post IC as well unless the other posters know you're not serious.
 
 
*[[Flaming|Flamebait]]: Posts that are made with the aim of angering someone.  (like 'You are a [insert vile comment here]' for example).
 
 
*[[Godmode|Godmoding, Godmodding/Wanking and (puppet) Multiing]]:
 
 
*[[forums|Gravedigging]]: Posting a reply on a long disused thread; bumping threads that aren't used anymore.
 
 
==Griefing===
 
 
Harassing a nation or region because of what they did or said is not allowed. This is specifically forbidden in telegrams and Regional Messageboard (RMB) posts. Nations are advised to save abusive telegrams and report it to the moderators. If there are abusive RMB posts, they are advised to report those too.

*[[Griefing]]: Harrassing a nation because of what they did or said.
 
 
*[[Klamath]]ing: See [[Spam]].
 
 
*'''Multiing''': See [[UN Multiing]].
 
 
*[[Gameplay|Nation Hijacking]]: Stealing someone else's nation by gaining their password.
 
 
*[[Normack]]ing: See [[Spam]].
 
 
*[[Wikipedia:obscenity|Obscenities]]: Sexually graphic [[flag|images]] and [[forums|posts]]. Very strictly forbidden.
 
 
*'''Offensive National Name''': Using offensive language in a nation's name. Because of the difficulty involved in changing a nation's name, this offense results in immediate deletion.
 
 
*'''Post-Whoring''': See [[Spam]].
 
 
*[[Forums|Quote Pyramids]]: When replies with quotes get quoted and then that reply get's quoted and so on and so forth. It's OK if it's just a few quotes but once they start getting monstrously huge, it is not okay. Doesn't happen as much now as in Jolt you can't quote more than one post at a time unless you set out to.
 
 
*[[Griefing|Region Griefing]]: Region Griefing is the malicious cousin of "region crashing". Where "crashing" involves moving several nations into a region at once and taking over the delegate-ship, griefing involves less savoury events afterwards. Basically the same as Griefing, only it's a bunch of nations (the region crashers) being griefed.
 
 
*[[Spam|Spam/SPAM]]: Off-topic, irrelevant and multi-posts that clog the server. This includes posting lots of smilies which is known as Smilie Spam. Also akin to spamming is Post-whoring which is when a player posts anything just to increase the postcount, also known as Normacking. Going in and out of a region and hence filling up the regional events board with departing and arriving messages is known as Events Log Spamming and is not allowed. Spamming to the point where you get deleted is known as Klamathing.
 
 
*[[Forums|Thread Hijacking]]: Appropiating a thread for a discussion totally unrelated to the original purpose of said thread.
 
 
*[[Forums|Trolling]]: Posts that are made with the aim of angering people. (like 'ALL JEWS ARE [insert vile comment here]' for example). Also is used to refer to making obviously silly topics that people nonetheless will reply to. (making a case for the proof that teletubbies exist for instance. There will always be someone who feels compelled to post 'No they don't.' despite the fact that threads like this should be just left to die.)
 
 
*[http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=373574 '''Trollbaiting''']:  Deliberately posting in a manner that isn't offensive in-and-of-itself, but tempts trolls to respond to try to provoke an emotional response from you.
 
 
*[[UN Multiing]]: Primarily someone who has more than one UN nation. Also, in Roleplay, Puppet Multiing is when someone uses their other nations in wars to give themselves an advantage. Not against the game rules, but very likely to tick people off.
