Realm Rules
Every realm needs rules and here are ours:
You may not put down other Realms, or boast about your Realm being the best.
You can get
kicked out of your realm for the following things
~ breaking the rules on regular basis,
~ starting a fight, either with internal Realm members,
or members of another Realm
~ being rude or offensive to any other Realm member
~ ignoring requests to follow the rules
~ excessive negativity
~ anything else that might disrupt the Realm environment
or make other members feel uncomfortable
All site and forum rules still apply.
Choose your Realm carefully. You may not switch out of a realm into a new one until you've been a member of the Realm for 3 months. In very rare cases, if a member is having troubles in a house before the 3 months is over, they may request a transfer, but the final decision is at the behest of the admin overseeing the house.
There are two leaders underneath the Admin of the Realm. One is appointed, one is elected, and both serve 3 month terms. They may not serve more than 2 total terms.
Leaders may
be removed at the behest of the Admin for the following
reasons:
~ neglecting their duties
~ not getting things done in a timely fashion
~ trying to take the Realm into a place not consistent
with its purpose
~ flaunting authority
~ bragging about their 'leader' status
~ Giving special treatment to their friends
~ favoritism
~ discouraging members from joining other realms
