TNR rules and regulations

These rules and regulations are subject to change at any time, it is the users own responsibility to ensure they abide by these rules, to avoid punishment. Ignorance is not an excuse.*

- Offensive language / names / Nindos:
Minor cursing can be overlooked, however heavy cursing and offending other users (see harassment) are not allowed. Censoring inappropriate language, e.g. replacing vowels with symbols, does not make it acceptable. This includes messages in the tavern, news comments, and a user's nindo. Penalties will be handed out at the moderator's discretion, and are non-debatable.

Offensive language will receive at a maximum of two warnings. Offenders can expect up to a one day ban. Repeated offenders can expect any ban from two days to a week and consecutive tavern bans, should offenses persist.

Offensive usernames are subject to be banned and deadlocked on sight. Consciously making an offensive username is against the rules and will not be tolerated. This can be done at any time, so you are advised to not test your luck, because a Special jounin account with an offensive username is no different from an Academy student. Rule of thumb: if you think it might be offensive, it probably is.

Offensive language / usernames consist of usernames/language include, but are not limited to:

• Excessive swearing
• Sexual references
• Being a generic pervert
• Racism
• Illegal drug references

User nindos are subject to moderation. Inappropriate nindos will be removed on sight, and a warning issued.


- Language:
In the tavern, news comments or other publicly accessible locations, any language besides english is strictly prohibited
Our moderator team cannot possibly know every language, and as such, cannot moderate any messages in languages they do not understand. To prevent harassment out of the moderators' control, all other languages are only to be used in PMs.

- Harassment:
Harassment, trolling, or otherwise pestering a user is not allowed. Bans will be issued if valid proof is present.

Harassment warrants up to a 1 day ban at first offense, consecutive offensive warrant bans up to 7 days. The exact length of the ban induced is at the discretion of the moderator and will depend on the severity of the violation.

- Account Sharing
For your safety, account sharing is explicitly forbidden for all users. If any user is found sharing their password, both users involved can expect to be banned.

- Impersonating a moderator / Administrator:
Anyone found impersonating moderators / administrators will have their accounts deleted. This rule extends to usernames with great resemblance to that of a moderator, or usernames implying moderator or admin privileges such as "4dmin1istrat0r","SiteOwner" and the likes.

- Account Buying / Selling / Trading / Giving away
Trading, Selling, or buying accounts is explicitely forbidden all accounts involved in this process will be banned for a period no less than 1 week, and the account that had switched ownership will be deleted. Giving away accounts also falls under this rule.

- Buying reputation points from other users:
The TNR staff does not officially condone or disallow the trading of reputation points for ryo, and any damage suffered as a result are the involved users own responsibility, ryo will in no cases be traced, or refunded.

- Bots / Reload scripts
Bots, reload scripts or any type of third party software or script that plays the game for you is disallowed. These things stress out the server. If a user is found using a bot, he/she will be banned for an extended period of time. Serious offenders will be permanent banned. People who distribute extensive botting programs capable of decrypting our current anti-bot measures in the form of captcha's will not only be permanent banned, they will also be dealt with through legal means, as such programs are considered illegal according to the Danish IT crime department (NITEC). TNR operates under Danish laws.

- User-pictures:
User-pictures are subject to moderation. Inappropriate user-pictures will be removed on sight, and a warning will be issued.

Inappropriate user-pictures include pictures:

• Of sexual nature
• Containing swear words
• Depicting racism of any kind
• Harrassing other users (see harrassment)

The administration reserves the right to deem user-pictures inappropriate even when not falling under any of the above categories.

Failure to comply can result in bans up to 48 hours.

- Changes to user data:
The administration will under no circumstance, manipulate a users stats, jutsu, bloodline or rank on request of the user. I.E. ranks-ups will not be undone, your offenses will not be swapped, your jutsu levels will not be swapped, nor will a jutsu be deleted and ryo be refunded.

Users asking for stat increases, bloodline changes, or anything of the sorts are subject to bans lasting up to 24 hours.

- Account responsibility:
The owner of the account is at all times responsible of anything that occurs on his/her account. Hackers, little brothers, cats, or mysterious glitches are no excuse.

- Moderator / Supermoderator / Administrator positions:
Any users found asking for, begging for, or inquiring about the means to become a moderator, supermoderator, or administrator will be subject to a ban of any size. The policy on becoming staff is simple. Don't call us, we'll call you (naturally this is voided if we ask you to call us.)

- Bans:
Bans are definitive and will not be revoked. Anyone found whining about being banned, shall have their ban extended to up to two times the original length. Whining and/or going around a ban, including by use of an alt, is prohibited. A ban is a punishment for breaking the rules; therefore, anyone found doing so will merely have that account banned.

- Account limits:
Each user is allowed one (1) alt. Farming tons of alts in order to get a bloodline is discouraged. The odds of your first account having one are the same as your last account having one. And all those unused chars only clog the database. If the limit is exceeded, a warning will be issued and the newest accounts will be deleted until the limit is reached. Repeated offenses will lead to deletion or permaban of both the alts and the main account.


- Spamming the Tavern
The Tavern is supposed to be a user friendly area where the players exchange opinions, information and ideas. Therefore the staff of TNR would like to keep it an enjoyable environment. Posts that spam the tavern will be deleted on sight and the poster shall be warned a maximum of two times. If the offender fails to comply, they are liable to receive a day long ban. Repeated offenders can expect a ban of two days and a consecutive tavern bans.

Posts that are also considered spam, contain:
- Excessive caps.
- Excessive bold/italic/underline
- Large nonsensical posts that stretch the tavern.

- Glitching/Hacking
As it would go without saying, exploiting faults in the code and hacking TNR is strictly forbidden. Anyone found doing either can expect the wrath of the Administration to fall upon their account.

Along side of this:
- Inquiring about how to glitch
- Inquiring about how to hack
- Threatening to hack the site
- Withholding information about a glitch

Is also strictly forbidden. Depending on the severity of the offense, a user found violating this rule can expect a punishment ranging from a two day ban to deletion of their account.

- Inactivity
Accounts which have been inactive for 42 days in a row will be deleted, and cannot be restored!

- Warnings
Users are responsible for being aware of any warnings sent to them. If a warning is sent and a user continues with in-game actions it will be assumed that the user has read and understands the warning.

*Case-by-case interpretations of the rules are within the jurisdiction of the moderating staff and are not set in stone. Scenarios and consequences include, but are not limited to, those listed above. If you disagree with a moderator's handling of a situation, alert a Head Mod or Admin; it is not and never will be an excuse for inappropriate conduct or rudeness on your part.

**If you are a repeated offender - your account is liable to be permanently banned. We understand people make mistakes, but people are also expected to learn from their "mistakes"

***TheNinja-RPG expects its users to conduct themselves in accordance with the rules of fair play and good sportsmanship. Inappropriate behavior not outlined in the specifications above, e.g. alt-killing, botting, and scamming, will not be tolerated. Penalties may range anywhere from a warning, to an extended ban and stat reductions, to permanent bans, at the staff's discretion. You participate in questionable practices and activity at your own risk, and are subject to the consequences of your actions.
