I'm floating today. Bonjour! Anyone want to fill me in on your new username if you have one.
Also, about those new rules, could you actually use correct grammar when writing them for the English server? Also, they aren't much different then what we already have on the rules page except making "somethings clear"....
Foreign LanguagesDo not write in any language other than English in the public forums, chat, shout, or your profile. If you wish to speak another language, you may create a record label for this purpose. If you choose to speak in another language in a forum, shout, profile, chat room, guest book or blog post then you must translate the other language to English. Failure to do so will result in punishment.
Inappropriate Usernames/ContentInappropriate usernames with sexual content, profanity of any kind or references to substance use are not permitted. Accounts with inappropriate usernames will be given a timeout, a period of notice will be given for an username to be changed, failure or refusal to change the name will result in the account being deleted.
Forum banners, blog posts and profiles should also not be subject to inappropriate content. A warning will be issued to change or remove the inappropriate content, if the user does not comply they will receive punishment.
For Example: If your forum banner contains a curse word, sexual content or something offensive to other players, you will be asked to remove it. If you do not, you're subject to timeout or banishment.
SwearingSwearing is permitted unless directed at another user, see Bullying. It is also not permitted to be used in the shouts or thread titles.For Example: Obvious enough, don't curse at other people in a malicious way but also please refrain from using curse words or vulgar language in the titles of your threads and in any shouts that you create. These posts show up on the front page, and it may be off-putting to people viewing the site for the first time.
Voting LinkOnly collect real clicks by promoting your link on other websites, link exchange websites are not allowed and will be punished by removing pd/fans and a TO and if repeated you will risk permanent deletion of your account's.
Classic games or other abuse Only collect real earnings. If you abuse the classic or casino game's you will get a TO, we will remove pd/fans and if repeated you will risk permanent deletion of your account's.
Do not sell any items, accounts or anything for real money. It is not safe, and it is not allowed. If you ignore this rule and do so anyways, VP is not responsible for anything that goes wrong with the trade as a result.
AdvertisingAdvertising other websites is not permitted. Users may discuss other sites but accounts created solely to advertise will be deleted. This rule does not apply to advertising Virtual Popstar elsewhere.
Non-Constructive Criticism Virtual Popstar encourages suggestions to help improve the user experience; however these suggestions should be constructive. It is not permitted to speak negatively of the site or its staff in the forums. If you have a complaint it should either be passed on privately to the administration or moderators via the report function. For Example: If a designer should post a design asking for opinions, it's not tolerated to be overly rude. Calling someone's design ugly is not going to help them improve, telling them that they could use a little more shading in certain parts is constructive criticism that allows them to improve.
Misleading LinksPosting misleading links or scam websites will result in a time out or serious warning. Misleading links will be deleted even if the content is inoffensive.
Personal InformationIt is not permitted to divulge personal information to others, this includes but is not limited to: postal addresses, surnames or phone numbers. This is to ensure the safety of the community. Posts containing personal information will be deleted.
SpammingSpamming is not permitted. Spamming includes but is not limited to: more than two of the same posts in a row, more than one of the same topic, more than two messages in the shout, excessive posting in the chat lounge, consistent off topic responses to threads, and spreading chain letters.
BeggingBegging for popdollars and/or credits and.or clothes is not permitted. It is permitted to create a single thread asking for help, but mass messaging or spamming is not. For Example: Begging is a form of harassment if it's constant, if you message someone asking if they want to sell an item and they say no, there's no reason for you to ask them every day after that. That is begging and spamming and is against the rules.
Cheating/ScammingCheating on Virtual Popstar is not permitted. Cheating includes but is not limited to: using bots to click voting links, stealing money from another account, sending money from numerous side accounts, and manipulating glitches within the game.
If you scam another player and are found guilty via screenshots, you will receive a timeout, minimum of 24 hours. If after 24 hours you won't return the item/pd/cr that doesn't belong to you, more time will be added and you're subject to banishment.
If your trade takes place off of VP and you get scammed, there is nothing our team can do.

Also, before hitting the report button be sure to check the VP rules to know if a player is breaking a rule and use your own discretion to gauge whether a person is joking or actually being offensive.
BullyingBullying another player will not be tolerated. Bullying includes but is not limited to: name calling, making fun of another player, attacking another player, calling out another player, and ganging up on one player.

Drug Related DiscussionDiscussion of drugs is strictly prohibited. This includes but is not limited to: descriptions of drug use, glorification of drug use, and giving tips for acquiring drugs.
Sex Related DiscussionDiscussions that include pornographic pictures and videos, erotica, nudity, or detailed descriptions of sexual experiences are not allowed. Designs or pictures that show nipples or genitalia will also be edited out or removed from the site. Individual cases will be dealt with by moderator discretion.For Example: Discussions about your sexual escapades will not be tolerated, the thread will be deleted immediately and immediate punishment will ensue.

Discrimination General discussions about race,ethnicity, culture, religion, gender and other affiliations are permitted. However, malicious comments directed at any specific race, culture or religious group will not be tolerated and will result in punishment. The use of words or phrases that have a history of being offensive/derogatory to people of a specific race, ethnicity, or any other affiliation is not permitted. The only exception to the rule would be if you're having a discussion about the origin of the word, but it should not be used to refer to any person on the site or posted in a quote where it can be seen as being directed towards someone.For Example: None of your comments in your discussion of race should be phrased to make any race or affiliation seem inferior to another. You may talk about how certain groups are targeted and treated poorly, but you are not allowed to target or treat certain groups poorly.
Another example: Your personal opinion of the "n word" does not apply to the rules. Whether you feel there is a difference between using it with an -a or with an -er, you should still refrain from using the word on VP at all. It is offensive to many people, and it is not worth the trouble of offending someone when you can use another word instead. If you are concerned about whether a word is okay to use, please message an online moderator for help.
Virtual Popstar aims to be a fun, safe community for all users to enjoy. For this reason, any case of rule breaking and its punishment is subject to moderator discretion. History of rule breaking will be considered in all cases.
