Intro to Rule Clarifications | FAQ

Here, I'll be clarifying aspects of the WolfPlay rules that are often confusing or defining terms in the rules that perhaps may not be common sense.

Please feel free to comment on additional questions that may pertain to the rules.

Note: This is not a thread where you question why something is a rule; the rules are there for a reason and Eve will decide if something is to be changed or not. This is a thread to ask what, how, where, and who.

Some examples of what will be answered are:
- "What is bumping?"
- "What is textspeak?"
- "Where do giveaways go, Main or Sales?"

Before we start, you might be wondering:
"uh... where are the game rules?"

So here is where you can find them!

1) Scroll to the bottom of the page. Right in-between "Contact Us" and "Help Me" you'll find "Game Rules"

2) On the left where the chatbox is, scroll to where the "Chat" button is. On the bottom left, you'll find "Rules"

3) Go to the Main Bar. Go to Help > Game Guide. Scroll down to "Rules and Cheating"

4) Either: Scroll down to "Help Me" or Go to Help > Help Me. On the right side, you'll find "Link To Game/Chat/Community Rules" at the bottom of the list

Still lost? I've very conveniently linked the rules in this thread! But before you get searching, just click here <3

Rule Clarifications | FAQ Cont.

Most of this is quoted from the Game Rules.
If there are parts that need clarification, they will be added in bold.

Reminder: Regardless of if you don't know the rules, don't understand the rules, or don't care, by signing up and making a pack on WolfPlay, you agree to follow all rules and to accept the consequences if you break them.

Reminder 2: Game rules apply to all community features (Forum, Chatbox, Gamemail, Blogs, Roleplay, Shoutbox/Comments)

1) Trolling is not permitted. This includes all aspects of trolling, which may include but not be limited to: harassment, antagonization, pestering, dramatics that upset the community, lying for attention, intentionally starting fights/breaking rules.

2) Do not negatively discuss other members or gossip about other members. Do not discuss banned members.
You can still compliment your favorite artist or talk about a good friend of yours! And you can, of course, complain about that one annoying sibling you're stuck with (given that they're not a member of the site).

3) Do not start, entice, or perpetuate flame wars or drama. Debates are ok as long as they are civil.

4) Have respect for your fellow game members. Do not harass, bash or negatively comment towards someone. Do not make passive-aggressive remarks to attack or bring others down. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
This encompasses the use of slurs. Do not use them. This rule applies even if you're reclaiming a slur due to the controversy associated.

5) All instructions from Admin/Mods must be followed at all times, without arguing.
If you have questions or feel like a mod misunderstood, PM the mod rather than asking directly on the forums or in chat. This helps to quickly resolve the problem without making it linger. Arguing will only get you in more trouble, but respectful inquires are okay. In addition, asking in PMs allows the mod to give a thorough answer and is less stressful, so it's a win-win for everyone :3

6) Please make all posts in English as our English-speaking Moderators can't moderate properly if you are speaking in other languages. You may speak whatever language you like in your Gamemail.
An exception to this is if it's a word or sentence with the translation below. However, this doesn't mean you can have a conversation in non-English in the forums or in chat. This is more so for something like a name that's Japanese, and you want to add the hopefully non-Google Translate meaning for :)

7) Do not post in All Caps. Do not make titles of things in All Caps. Do not make nicknames in All Caps.
You will be warned if you have more than 3-4 consecutive words or more than 20% of the post is in All Caps.

8) Swearing is allowed as long as:
- It is not directed at anyone.
- It is not used excessively.
- It is not used in a vulgar way.

9) Do not negatively comment on or bash Staff Members, the Game, or the Rules/Terms Of Service/Privacy Policy.

10) Do not bump topics in the Forum.
Bumping is when a person purposefully posts a reply to get the thread to appear at the top of the forum.

11) Do not discuss other online Games, or pc/console/mobile Games of a similar nature (animal games)
Specifics here

12) Do not advertise other websites, games, products, or services.

13) Do not try to sell things for real-life money or direct people offsite for real-life commission/funding purposes.

14) Do not mini-mod. If people are breaking the rules, use the Help Me link at the bottom of the page to contact the appropriate Staff member.
Mini-modding can be as explicit as saying "you can't do x" to saying "x is against the rules" after someone breaks a rule. If you see someone breaking the rules, make sure to screenshot the post and either message a mod with the link to the pack or report the pack through the radiation button. You can find a guide on how to report issues here.

15) Do not post personal requests (answer a PM, respond to an RP, etc.) in the Chatbox or Forum.

16) We discourage chatspeak, textspeak, babytalk, etc. Please use proper spelling and grammar. The only chatspeak permitted is OMG, OML, LOL, LMAO. Do not post excessive numbers of emotes or other nonsense/gibberish. Do not flood the chatbox with lyrics.
Remember, acronyms and chatspeak/textspeak are different! For example, rip (rest in peace) is an acronym. Something like, omg (oh my god) is chatspeak. A quick way to check is to Google the word you wanna use. Google Gods will give you the answer :3 ...usually.
In addition, typing like "tHiS" is considered incorrect grammar, and more often than not, you'll be breaking rule 7.

17) Behave like an adult at all times.

18) Roleplay actions are not permitted in the Chatbox.
This refers to anytime you type what you are acting, such as *sighs* and *shaking my head*. You will be warned even if it's formatted /sigh. Use your best judgment, please.

19) Members may not make posts for other members.

20) Begging or asking for donations is not permitted.
This includes veiled begging such as saying "I need x," "I want x," "I wish I had x."

21) Do not make “leaving” posts to announce that you are quitting the game. Use your mailbox to contact your friends about it.
This includes saying "I'm quitting the game" in chat.

22) Do not invite members to offsite chats or other Games.

23) Blacklisting members is not allowed. This consists of multiple Game Members ganging up on someone because of a disagreement of some kind and blocking them from game resources such as art shops/auctions/breeding ads/etc. If you are caught being involved in this type of activity, you will be banned from the Community permanently.

24) Do not ask people for personal information or share personal information. (See Privacy Policy)

25) All user-created content on this site should be PG-13. Do not discuss inappropriate subject matter such as illicit drugs, underage drinking, hacking, self-harm, suicide, abuse, explicit sexuality, or other topics that are not PG-13.

26) Religious content/comments/discussion is permitted on this site, provided you are not preaching at people, being hateful, or creating drama.

27) Fandom content is not permitted on this site, with the exception of roleplaying fandoms in your Gamemail or RP Scenes. Discussion of fandoms is fine.

28) Pictures of humans that show identifying features are not allowed.
Information about Human Art here

29) If you are advertising in the Sales Chat, you may only make one post until your post falls off the screen. Then you may make another.

30) All Chatbox content related to Advertising of any type (except RPs) or links to anything For Sale/Breeding/etc. belong in the Sales Chatbox. Veiled Advertising is not permitted in the Main Chatbox.
Giveaways belong in Sales Chat.

31) Members are not permitted to post/share that they are planning to commit suicide or to seek advice because they are suicidal. Please contact your local suicide hotline and medical professionals.

32) Hotlinking is only acceptable in the Chatbox and Gamemail.

33) If someone blocks you, do not try to get around the block or use others to contact them. Respect their wishes.

34) Spamming other packs' game mail is not allowed. This means don't send game mail to other packs asking them to buy your wolves, or breed to your wolves, or any other spam type requests.

35)Contests may not require an entry fee.

36) Impersonating staff is not allowed.

- Private deals via PM are prohibited.
Does that mean that if say, someone wins an art auction, I can't have them discuss payment and have them pay via PMing?


This means that they can't PM you bids on an auction or do things similar to that via PM. All bidding on auctions has to be public. If they have already won and there isn't any bidding going on, you can PM them about when to send payment (before or after you send the art) as long as the amount of payment stays at their bid price and isn't raised / lowered through PMs (which would most likely be against the rules, since lowering would be unfair to other people who bid and raising would be unfair to the person paying).

I know fandom art is not allowed, but I have seen some accounts using ranks that are part of fandoms or basing their account off it, am I allowed to use ranks from a fandom?
