1. No abusing powers, at all. I don't care about any "legitimate reasons" because there are no reasons to abuse your powers for any benefit. If caught, you're at risk of getting demoted, and the chances of having that permission again will decrease.

2. Don't ignore members when asked a question because you're, "busy", unless you are actually working your tail off for other things to benefit the site. You've been picked as a staff member for a reason, we ask you to please do your job. If you can't handle the pressure, why accept the opportunity? Though, I am sure every staff member needs a break once in a while - so if you want to just relax and be a normal member once or twice in the week, feel free.

3. All staff members are also required to follow the other rules mentioned in the "Rules & Terms" forum; although your punishment might be less dire, you are supposed to follow the rules like everyone else.

4. When in doubt, about anything, ask another staff member. Don't do it cause your gut says it's right. Usually when that happens, and you're wrong about it, it causes a fuss. I don't like when fusses are caused, and you'll be the one to blame; so please consult another staff member if you are having any trouble making decision.

5. When approving applications, be nice, alright? This means do not shout, no matter what; do not speak in all CAPS, and do not just delete applications without telling them what is wrong with it. If you are seen being rude like this when checking applications, you will lose your spot on staff and possibly never get it again.

6. Please do not only be nice when checking applications. Try to be nice when doing anything! There are plenty of others out there wanting to be a staff member, so set a good example. We expect for all of our members to have a good time here!

7. If you wish to resign, so be it. Tell a staff member, preferably an administrator that you wish to resign. Depending on the reason you resigned and your attitude towards members, you might be offered a staff position again later on, when needed.

8. If an Administrator feels that a member is causing a disturbance and that the only solution is to ban them, they are allowed to ban the member for 12 hours from the chatbox, for whatever reason; so long as the administrator has given them at least two warnings.

9. When in the chatbox and you wish to clear it, we have a rule about doing so. You must first initiate a count-down from 10 to 0 to warn them that a clear is coming. This is so that they can read first as well as have time to do whatever they were doing at the time. No one likes to be chatting then have the chatbox unexpectedly be cleared.

10. Do not mod someone without first consulting both Roxas and Xiang before doing so. If they have given you permission then you may proceed to do so. This rule will be enforced in order to limit any excessive amounts of staff. Too much staff might make new members feel intimidated and we do not want that.

11. Do not delete any posts in the entire forum no matter what! If a post requires deletion, it does not matter. Merely move it to the forum labeled "Graveyard" for future or latter reference. Deleting posts or topics is extremely unnecessary.
