VFK Constitution : Third Party Sites
« on: November 18, 2008, 06:48 PM »

I have had a few suggestions to maybe make this a sticky for now. There has been more discussion regarding the ability to say/not say the names of other games while chatting in VFK. Many of us have been "testing the waters" to find out what is being permitted. This warning will be issued if you mention third party sites during chat in the game. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, as this warning actually came to me while King and I were testing out different game titles that could/could not be said in game.  :shy:



Here is a copy of the actual VFK Constitution as well, just for any future reference.  :)

Virtual Family Kingdom Constitution


We the People of VFK...

In order to provide a safe and enjoyable community for members, we are all expected to abide by and uphold the Constitution of the Virtual Family Kingdom. Failure to follow the VFK Constitution could result in your account being suspended for a period of time or being cancelled permanently.


1. You are responsible for all behavior on your account. This means:

   -If you walk away from your computer while you are signed into VFK and someone else does something against the rules, any action taken will be against your
    account.
   -If you allow someone else to access your account in any way, for any reason, and they take your things, you will not get them back.
   -If you give your login information to anyone on VFK, you risk having your account suspended.


2. You may not ask for, or give, any information that would allow someone to contact you outside of VFK. This includes, but is not limited to:

   -Your instant messenger name on any service
   -Your email address
   -Your telephone number, land line or cell
   -Your address
   -Your full name
   -Your school name or location
   -Your user name on any other online site


3. You may not discuss or describe adult sexual behavior on VFK. This includes, but is not limited to:

   -Any discussion of sexual activities
   -Saying you are expecting or delivering babies


4. You may not bully, harass or threaten other players.


5. You may not use obscene or vulgar language, including curse words, acceptable words used as curse words, and descriptions of bodily functions.


6. You may not cheat or deceive other players, steal their belongings, or trick them into giving you items without getting anything in return.


7. You may not charge players to enter a game room, play a game, continue playing a game or get their prize for a game. VFK does not permit any type of pay in guest game rooms.


8. You may not hold any type of political or religious conversation on VFK. While we absolutely respect your right to your beliefs, this is not the place to discuss them.


9. You may not describe, or engage in, any type of violent behavior against others or yourself.


10. You may not engage in activities inappropriate to a family game. This includes, but is not limited to:

   -Pretending to order, serve or drink alcoholic beverages or any discussion about using those beverages
   -Discussing the use of illegal substances


11. You may not use any third-party software with VFK. If you didn't find it at www.virtualfamilykingdom.com, you may not use it here.


12. You may not give away, buy or sell VFK accounts.


13. You may not impersonate anyone else including, but not limited to, celebrities, other players or VFK staff.


14. VFK does not allow any kind of room name/description designed for people to get together as couples.

I'm guessing rule # 2, I bolded my guess but that would mean contact name would also need to be mentioned?:

2. You may not ask for, or give, any information that would allow someone to contact you outside of VFK. This includes, but is not limited to:

   -Your instant messenger name on any service
   -Your email address
   -Your telephone number, land line or cell
   -Your address
   -Your full name
   -Your school name or location
   -Your user name on any other online site


That "but is not limited to" is kinda like job descriptions "and other duties as assigned" - gives them nice big loop hole to get ya!   :lolg:

Reads Constitution...my guess...
I would say it falls under #2.  Article #2 mentions "includes but is not limited to..." 
Mentioning of another site could be intrepreted as telling someone where to find you outside of VFK.

As we all know the VMK Values were subject to interpretation as well.

yeah was thinking that, but there's a difference if I say 'I am so and so on elf island' or I play elf island. i'm not giving my title... and besides, elf island is a G rated site.  I can see them getting upset about us mentioning SmallWorlds... lol
