Quicksilver Fleet's Rules and Regulations for Non Star Trek Simms

Without rules Society even in its most minute form would fall, and Quicksilver Fleet is no different. Even still we hold fast to the ideals that this is first and foremost a GAME, and will do everything in our power to keep it fun and entertaining. However; we need your help to keep it such. So we have compiled a list of rules that we as the Admiralty in QSF would like EVERYONE to adhere to.
 
Characters:

1. When creating a new character, please refrain from using canon character names from any other location, be it Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, or any other movie/book unless given expressed approval from an Admin member. First names OR Last names can be used, however do not use them together. For Example Harry Potter is NOT acceptable, but Harry Jones, or Indiana Potter is fine.
2. When creating a character, please note that magical powers or god-like abilities are not acceptable. If you are playing a non canon race, or one that you have created you are required to send a bio for the race before playing them. (Species are subject to Admiralty Approval)
 
3. All characters are required to have FULL biographies. They should all be original and in no way copy or mimic canon characters. Unless specifically told otherwise, all characters are the property of their creators and are not to be written for. It is up to the Commanding Officer to handle any infringement upon this rule.
 
4. Unless your Commanding Officer says otherwise, players are allowed to have more than one character per ship, as long as they are listed in the subject heading as which one you are writing for. However since it is up to your CO, their say is final on this matter.
 
5. It is up to your Commanding Officer to determine promotions. Promotions are widely determined by posting quality, as well as a person's specific assistance in moving a mission, helping a fellow simmer, or assisting the ship in some other way. No one may be promoted to Executive officer with approval from the Admiralty as they may be assigned higher abilities within the website.
 
Posting:
 
1. Please keep all posts realistic. A ship would not have their shields down 98 percent and still attack an enemy, nor have their engines fixed in fifteen minutes after being totally destroyed.
 
2. Unless otherwise stated by your CO, you are allowed to post One Mission Entry and One Personal Log in a 24 hour period of time, unless someone else posts after you. If this is the case you are free to post again.
 
3. Unless otherwise stated by your CO, Quicksilver Fleet does not have a minimum word count for posts, but please remember we are trying to move missions along and post accordingly.
 
4. Please respect the rating of the ship, and keep your content within it. Posts with explicit material will have it changed by the author or deleted off of the site if it does not comply with the rating.
 
5. Races, planets, moons, stars, and systems are allowed to be created, however upon doing such it is required that the QSF Admirals be emailed with a description and if possible a picture of your race in order to be added to the database. Email your updates here.
 
 
Other Fleet Rules:

1. QSF is (unless otherwise noted) a PG-13 fleet. ALL members must be at least 13 years old in order to join. Each ship has a rating; some higher than PG-13, so please respect that. Your Captain is responsible for informing you of their specific ship rating.

2. Poaching* is NOT permitted. This includes PMs and forums. You may RECRUIT over Email or IM, or in a command approved embassy such as a board/yahoo group designed for the same reason. *Poaching is recruiting with the intent of pulling the person to/from QSF or a ship within/outside without the authorization of his or her commanding officer.

3. Racism, insulting, harassing and other generally abusive things are NOT permitted anywhere in QSF. Do not use the posting sites as ways to yell or criticize anyone, or their posts. If a post needs to be changed, the Captain or Executive Officer will be the one to deal with it.  Any violation of this could result in A) Moderation, B) Suspension, and C) Termination and banning from this fleet. We do not want an environment that people cannot come freely and have fun, please keep it enjoyable! 

4. No member of Quicksilver fleet is allowed to provoke or harass ANY member, nor any outside organization. Violation of this rule could result in expulsion from the fleet.
 
5. Any person in Command within Quicksilver Fleet (Captain, Admiralty) can simm in other fleets and ships if they so please. HOWEVER, they are NOT allowed to be promoted above Commander, nor hold a position higher than Executive Officer. This is to keep any individual from having a conflict-of-interest between all fleets involved.
 
6. Quicksilver Fleet reserves the right to remove any person(s) deemed a threat to the safe and fun environment that we strive to create here. However, if you feel you have been removed unfairly; please contact the DFO here
 
7. There should be at least (2) two administrator accounts on each SMS sites using either an Admiral or General's rank. These are NOT TO BE DELETED, nor their rights changed. These are in place so that if anything goes wrong with the page it can be fixed.

8. The fleet chain-of-command is as follows:

Commander In Chief
Director of Fleet Operations
Director of Fleet Personnel
Director of Starfleet Marines
Director of Fleet Investigations
Director of Fleet Reports and Recruiting
