1.0 Flame Forum
This forum is for adults only and has a few exceptions to Hunted Cow Terms of Use.

We run a special forum called the 'Flame Forum', this is for adults only. Some of the posts in this forum may be 
deemed offensive and the language used may be of a more mature nature. However, we still will not tolerate
illegal content, spamming or posting of pornographic content. Nor will we tolerate abuse of other players, clans
or voluntary staff members. Taking part in this  forum is optional. 


1.1 Forum Signature
Forum signatures must be a maximum of 400 x 300 pixels in size.

Forum signatures should not exceed 400 pixels in width or 300 pixels in height, this will be judged on the signature
as a whole if it contains a combination of images. Not on a per image basis. 


2.0 Farming/Funding Accounts
Accounts may not exist to fund others and groups may not work together to cheat the system.

Accounts may not exist solely to fund another with any form of in-game currencies. You may not use your account
to give experience to another by removing items, reviving at request or leaving gangs then rejoining. You also are
not allowed to help enemy gangs gain warfare points or territory in the wasteland. All participants in such activity will be punished. 


3.0 Gang Leadership
When you are put in charge of a gang you must act in that gangs best interests.

Those who participate in the leadership of our four gangs (everyone of rank 11 or higher) must always act in their gangs
best interests. Any actions taken to sabotage the gang, kick members without reason or take over ruling councils for
enemy gang motives will be dealt with by staff members. 


3.1 Espionage/Corruption
Some exceptions to the above rule are detailed below.

Exceptions to the above rule are as follows. Having people in enemy gangs spy on them irrelevant of rank and plots 
to gain power in gangs for personal gain (not enemy gang motivated) will not be stopped by staff. However, both may
be met with harsh response by gang leadership if discovered.
