Ok so once again, welcome to OWF. now there are a couple of rules that have to be layed down in order to make this federation the best one possible. now, what is the punishment for any of these rules? if it is severe enough, we have the three strikes and you're out, simpily put it means if you do something bad like sledge other members you will be warned twice, if there is a third complaint then you will be fired from the roster and you will be kicked from the site. all other minor offences will be explained in their respective rule sections in this post.
i) promos -untill we clear some red tape this federation is a promo based federation. meaning you promo for your matches to win. no promo means no win, if both dont promo then the match will be called a draw and there will be no winner. as you would have probably seen, there is an offical promo and an unofficial promo board for both respectively. you have one official promo per week. that means simpily that once you have made your first official promo, you can't post a 'part 2' promo. you will; however have unlimited unofficial promos where you can hype up your feuds, give some insight into what your characters really like ect. now as editing goes, you have one day in which you can edit your post. after that, any edit made will not count to your matchups.
ii) sledging - sledging will not be tollerated in OWF, and as was mentioned beforehand the three strike policy is in account for this reason. now what is sledging you may ask? it includes things like insults and threats, so if say someone says that your promos arent good at the moment but are getting there, then that wont be counted as sledging but as constructive critisism. however if someone says your promos are shit and you should leave the fed, then it will be counted as sledging. people who are accusing others of this must have the URL for the page on which the argument has occured, and have it sent to either me or Ville Valo (the General manager) once seen, we will discuss wether or not it is counted as a violation of the rule and make a judgeing accordingly
iii) advertsing - this is something that i feel is vital to OWF's survival. so if you want to advertise your Fed, then be prepared to advertise OWF on the site being advertised aswell, after all its only fair that we should have some advertising out there as well. anyone caught breaching this rule by advertising one fed on this site and not doing so on the other site will be suspended for the ammount deemed worthy by the General Manager or me as chairman, and if they have a title, will have the title stripped off of them. we understand that you cannot instantly advertise OWF and will inforce a one day deadline, simpily put, it means you have one day to post the advertisement on the other site that you have advertised here.
iv) match cards - there will be a two day before deadline period for promos, meaning you have untill 48 hours untill the match card results goes up on tuesday (eastern hemisphere district time. you people in the west have untill 2 days before monday to promo.)
v) swearing - there are no censors in OWF, namely because swear words are just that, words. they cant harm you in any way unless used for sledging in which has been explained will be dealt with accordingly. but if you take offence by seeing someone type,
HOLY SHIT THATS A GOOD PROMO!!! then this is probably not the site for you.
that is pretty much the only rules here at the moment, over the course of time they will be edited to precidents that have happened since the original post. and remeber this fed is supposed to be fun, so enjoy it and dont become one of those people who goes around blaming others, because no one likes those people.
oh and one more thing, if there has to be a report, then we are looking for quality not quantity. so it doesnt matter how much you winge and complain, if it isnt a good enough reason in the eyes of me and Valo then it wont be accepted and you could find yourself being suspended indefinately and in the case of a champion, will have your title stripped from you.
