(Previously written FFR Chat Rules by Specforces, revised by RAVEnHEXa/Destruction)
Rule summary (full rule detail below):
Rule 1 - No spamming.
Rule 2 - No flaming, harassing, etc.
Rule 3 - No imitating/disrespecting staff.
Rule 4 - No flashing/asking for flashing/inappropriate behavior.
Rule 5 - No using chat exploits.
Rule 6 - No ban evasion.
User note:
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU *MUST* BE 13 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER TO BE IN THE CHAT.
Anyone under 13 will be banned until they're 13.
All moderators do their job differently, so they will take action as they see fit. If a user does anything that a moderator thinks deserves a kick and/or ban, they will do so. Kicks/bans will not be challenged. If you do challenge them, they are then allowed to take further action against you.
Moderators are usually and probably right. If you feel that you have been kicked/banned for no good reason, please PM the moderator who did it (do NOT post about it in the forums, you will be ignored).
Also, please do not ask how to kick/ban or ask if you can be a moderator.

1: Kick
2: Temporary ban
3: Permanent ban
____________________
Rule 6/6:
Ban Evasion.
If you evade (evading is defined as changing your IP/username to try and access the chat) a previous ban (temp or perm) you will be rebanned permanently.
____________________
The FFR chat is here to meet other people in the FFR community and to have fun that's safe for everyone involved. Any broken rules will not be tolerated.
Also, these are just guidelines. If a moderator feels you deserve a ban, you deserve a ban. No questions asked. Nothing will be challenged, nothing will be questioned, the moderators are in complete control.
Please remember, if you're going to report someone breaking a rule, BE HONEST (also having a screenshot would help a lot). If we find out you falsely accused someone, you will be banned.
