UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR:
FuturaWorlds is not a single player game and it is intended for the enjoyment of all its players. Thus, any action by a player, which is determined by hightek-designs.com, in its sole discretion, to abuse, harass or otherwise make the game less enjoyable for another player, may be a violation of hightek-designs.com's online gaming policy. While hightek-designs.com reserves the right to add, modify or otherwise change any of these rules, here are some rules and examples that delineate what is considered unacceptable behavior.

1.INATTENTIVE (AFK) SCRIPTING:
Away from keyboard (AFK) Scripting refers to the automatic practicing of skills or other actions while you're not attending the keyboard. "Attending the keyboard" means you must be able to respond to your surroundings within the game, and is distinctly different than "sitting at the keyboard doing other things while your character practices skills.". It is expressly forbidden in FuturaWorlds for you to gain skills for any of your characters in this manner. Staff actively seek out those who abuse the system by AFK scripting.

2. OBSCENE LANGUAGE:
FuturaWorlds is a game for players of all ages. While we do not expect everyone to speak like perfectly, we will not tolerate language that, in our discretion, is considered vulgar and/or obscene. The use of such language, whether or not you consider it IC, is not acceptable. This includes its use in casual and public speech, racial links, ESP contacts, or even in a character's name. A good rule of thumb would be what one might hear on prime-time television.

3. HARASSMENT:
Continual unwarranted verbal harassment, or unprovoked harassment via character action, is not tolerated. Any player going out of their way to harass another player through the use of their characters, or the games post boards, can and will be punished.

Please note that scrolling (continual filling of the screen with text simply for the sake of annoyance) falls under harassment. This can be a gray area and we try to be lenient towards a greater freedom of expression due to the inherent conflicts and backgrounds between our player races. This, however, does not give the player license to say anything that they want (even if it is not considered obscene) as often as they want, to another player.

'Verbal Harassment' -
'Mind rape' - Using words and mannerisms toward another player to convey unwanted sexually suggestive actions.

4. ABUSE OF GAME BUGS:
It is the responsibility of all FuturaWorlds players to report all problems, errors, or bugs in the game to the hightek-designs.com staff as soon as they are found. The continued used of such is contrary to FuturaWorlds policy as such bugs/errors can damage the enjoyment of the game for all its players.

Additionally, if you know about a bug or have heard about a bug and fail to report the bug to the staff, you will be treated no differently from someone who abuses the bug. Anyone caught abusing a bug may be locked out of any and all hightek-designs.com products forever.

5. CROSS-CHARACTER INTERACTION::
In FuturaWorlds, every player is allowed to have more characters to play the game. In no instance, without prior authorization by staff, are you allowed to use these character to, in any way, help or aid any of the other characters on your account(s). As we have no way of discerning between friends or family using the same computers trade between these is also prohibited. Violation of this policy may result in immediate lockout from the game. Repeat offenders may be locked out permanently.

6. ANY BEHAVIOR THAT IS CONTRARY TO THE GAME SPIRIT:
Ok, this is a 'catch-all' phrase and we know it. The bottom line is that FuturaWorlds is here for the enjoyment of all its players and not just for a few. We can and will make changes in FuturaWorlds as it evolves.

7. REPRESENT YOURSELF AS AN EMPLOYEE/STAFF:
This includes making use of the faking usernames, faking staff email addresses, and faking staff messenger service names. Any player who does this may be locked out of any and all hightek-designs.com products forever.
