Club Rules

Rules to be a Shattered Dreams Member:


Member Discounts: You are not required to do member discounts, we would like you to do so, but you do not have to. If you have discounts we will list you under Discount sales here in the thread. Also if you want to provide group discounts just for reveries or Nightshades just say so, we will put it next to your discount. When we open the forum you may post up your sales there, also in the far future there will be a poll for a thread in the wajas forum sales.


Not Required Conquest Case: You are not required to have the Conquests in your cave, however if you would like to do so place it in your cave Header/footer, so that everyone will see them and you can show them off. Note: It may be in the Suppression Sector group Header


Required Suppression Sector Group: This is required no matter if you are Nightshade or Reverie. This will be the quickest and easiest way for members to find this group’s wajas, whether on sale, breed, or browse. The wajas must have the official graphic code in their description to be recognized as "cured" or Hybrid wajas. These wajas if running loose will breed with every waja and cause total mayhem, so be sure to lock them up. Refuse to follow this rule we will take all member benefits from you, thus membership.


No waja Requirement: You do not need a waja to match a cure right away. You can enter games, contests, or just be active in attempt to get a waja. We will not judge you based off the wajas you currently have, just as long as they match the cure {you want for them} description. If you happen to have wajas with no cure descriptions or explanation in their waja description, that are located in the suppression sector, and are acceptable to the cure just pm a staff member for the code to put there. The staff will also double check that it matches, so do not panic too much.


Join a group by 1 week: You must pick to be either a Reverie or a Nightshade by a week after filling out the form. Do not worry, you have another week to decide whether you like that group or not, and want to stay. These groups are to make this club more interesting and constantly on the move, if you fall behind just pm a staff or the group leader and they will {suppose to} catch you up on everything. If there is ever drama or any sort of emergency you may change groups, but you can only do this rarely, so please be thoughtful in your choice. The groups are allowed to be competitive with each other, just do not resort to name "specific" calling.


Respect the Members of this Group: They are to be treated with the same amount of respect as the creators of this idea and club. They work as hard as anyone else to keep this club going, they deserve your respect. Even if someone is disrespecting you keep cool and pm a staff member rather than starting fights. If a head club member tells you no, do not ask another head club member. If you really think that they are in the wrong just pm Tk or Ginger, and we will decide.


No Begging or Handouts: This is supposed to be a family, just like any other family you have to work for something. How else will you appreciate what you have earned? We are aware you want a "cured" waja right away, but you have to respect the users who have worked for theirs and work for yours. You can easily gain your waja through conquest points, games, contests, raffles, and events. So, do not whine or complain you did not get one.



Barely Green Waja: The green must be covered up or barely visible. The only reason we have this, is because originally this sub-breed group was going to be a cure for the Flood. But, because the Flood group made it clear in their rules that the Floods cannot be cured this group was edited for its own story. We would like to keep the original creator's idea, and take out green. If you must have green, it will be in minor amounts. As of current, no green. Also we do not need two Flood groups, green would just tie into the Floods. If there is any green it must be barely noticeable. Meaning it either is buried under lots of markings, or is <20% and is very well hidden away. Rainbow, will not count towards green, but try to have as  little green as possible.


No Muddies: If you happen to have and love muddies, please do not take this to heart. You may, on your own club thread, create a rejection club that allows muddies. However on our thread and reputation, do not have that muddy in your Suppression Sector or under our name. Muddies are wajas that are dull in color, if you have a muddy color dye, just dye it to match whichever cure you are aiming for. If the base is muddy try and cover up the muddy coloring through dyes, or spice it up. We understand if you are in the Reverie group and are mating Nightshade's with yours, in those cases it is acceptable, but do not sell the offspring, until several generations later when it is "cured" to Reverie preference.


Are You Quitting?: If you ended up deciding to quit from boredom, drrama, family, and/or etc. pm Ginger or Tk, so we can tempt to talk you out of it, that and so we can keep accurate headcounts. You have every right to keep your wajas you earned them one way or another and they are yours. You may keep the group, the conquest case, and anything else you had earned "while" a member. If you ended up quitting on your own free will, you may join back at anytime, just sign-up again.


Power of Removal: We do have the power to remove you from the group. If you happen to be kicked out or banned from the group please take down anything that relates to us, or be sure to let cave viewers know you are not part of our group for your own actions. We would rather not issues with Waja staff, waja members, clubs, or just other threads. If you get better and apologize for whatever actions you did, we may let you back in.

General Forum Rules

Please read the following rules thoroughly before posting.

1) Only bump your thread after it leaves the first page. Threads that have gone off the first page and are not being bumped are no longer considered active.

• Also do not grave dig old threads, unless it is to add something significant to the original post. The staff have chosen to define gravedigging in the following way: threads older than one month without new posts.

2) Post in the correct Section. If you are uncertain which section would be best suited to your topic, you can contact a moderator before posting.

3) Do not create two (or more) threads regarding the same thing for hopes of "more views" or anything of the like. This includes, but is not limited to, sales, wanted ads, general chat, art, etc. You only need one thread per topic. Any doubles will be locked without advance notice. Also don't make posts for the specific reason to link to another thread.

4) Do not post about locked threads. Don't try to continue discussion about a locked thread without a mod's permission. Furthermore, do not start a thread on a subject you know has caused issues and/or been locked on a previous occasion due to its subject matter.

• Likewise, discussion of frozen accounts is not allowed.
  

5) If there's already a thread regarding a certain topic, join that one rather than making a new thread saying the exact same thing.

6) Do not make posts criticizing how others play. This club is very open with numerous possible goals and ways to get there. Everyone can decide for themselves which cure they like, how they breed, price or design (for some examples). If they do not violate the Rules, it's their choice how they play.

• Please be aware that this behavior would be regarded as harassment and/or targeting.

7) This is a public forum. This means that anyone and everyone on the site is welcome to read your thread and respond to it. If you are not prepared for the fact that people may disagree with your point of view, and do not feel you will be able to respond in a civil and mature manner, please think carefully about posting in the first place, as you will risk your thread being locked if you allow it to get heated.

• There are some subjects that are deemed to be unsuitable for discussion. If a moderator advises you that your thread falls into one of these areas, or you become aware that a subject is unsuitable, please don't make another thread on that subject in future. Please respect the moderators’ judgment. Subjects that are unsuitable include (but are not limited to) illegal activities, discussion of graphic violence or graphic sexuality, politics and religion. 

8) Begging is strictly forbidden. This includes asking for "Donations" to adoption centers or giveaways. Begging is defined as asking for wajas, items, currency, etc. without offering something of relatively fair trade value in return.

9) Mini-modding is not allowed. If you see a player behaving incorrectly on the forums or violating rules, do not take it upon yourself to handle the situation. Instead, click on the "report post" link, or if a matter needs a quicker response, contact a moderator directly about the thread/issue in question to be taken care of. However, mini-modding is not to be confused with being helpful.

• While it’s fine to gently remind a player they have included a swear or other violation they might not have noticed, it must be done in a respectful manner, and not with any degree of sarcasm, aggression or superiority.

• Although people often find others' grammar, spelling or writing style annoying, you are reminded that unless the post falls into the following rule and isn't the best a player is capable of, they are not breaking any rules. If you feel a post needs changing, click the "report post" link, or send a message to a moderator, and DO NOT comment on the thread.

• The moderators need to keep track of players' behavior, and are unable to do so if situations are mini-modded by other players, and mini-modding can also provoke animosity, which may lead to harassment.

10) As this site is frequented by a multilingual community, and a number of people don't have English as their first language, you are required to use the best English available to you on the forums.

• If a moderator advises you that something you have posted is causing difficulties for others, please edit as requested. Failure to do so could result in your post being deleted, possibly a warning, and if it continues, a forum ban.

11) Do not spam the forums. Spamming includes posting one word responses or irrelevant comments on threads, or posting multiple threads of the same thing. While creating threads to advertise your sales is fine, posting or messaging unsolicited advertisements, requests, etc. on other people's threads will be counted as spam.

12) You must be truthful in all of your posts to the best of your knowledge. You may not scam or otherwise deceive other users. This includes exaggerating or spreading misinformation about features of the club.

• You must also follow through with auctions and contests you make. You may not cancel a contest once you have received entries unless you have stated from the very start you are requiring a specific minimum number of entries. You may not cancel an auction unless you state you reserve the right to do so from the start, and you must cancel the auction prior to the end time. If the end time passes with no cancellation or extension, and there are active bids, it is the same as selling it, and you must deliver what you promised.

Above all, you are required to be respectful to others on all of the forums and threads.
