2. The Europa forum contains additional terms (for example, forum conduct rules and guidelines) that further dictate procedures. By accepting the terms stated within this document, you agree also to abide by rules and guidelines for conduct as stated elsewhere on the Europa Forum.
• Role playing is also subject to the Warning & Punishment (3 Strikes).
• Government members are also subject to the Constitution of Europa.

3. Users are responsible for regularly reviewing this document, and by continued usage of this forum and that which it stands for, signify acceptance and agreement to such changes.



B. REGISTRATION

1. Please sign up using your NationStates name.

2. All names are subject to the board rules as are avatars, signatures, posts and posted images.

3. Each user is responsible for any and all activity performed on their account. The sharing of accounts is highly discouraged, and each user is advised to keep their account secure.



C. MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS

1. You are not allowed to have multiple accounts on this board. This includes (but is not limited to) active, suspended, or banned accounts. Additional accounts will be tracked down, and Administration will decide on penalty.

3. The use of multiple accounts for voting is strictly forbidden and frowned upon. Such cheating will result in the banning of the new accounts, and punishment against the original account.



D. POSTING CONTENT

1. Above all else, respect others. If you see disrespectful behavior, report it, rather than further inflaming the situation.

2. Before you write, seed, or comment, ask yourself if your contribution increases the strength and virtue of the community.

3. Although we feel that full internationalization is important, please keep all posts and replies in English.
