Participation Policy: All members are expected to contribute to the holt at least once a month, preferably more. Lack of participation for more than 4 weeks or failure to be able to contact you will result in your removal from the holt due to inactivity.
Respectful Conduct: Members are expected to conduct themselves in a respectable manner in regards to the holt, myself and other members. This means, but is not limited to, acting in a civil manner, not inciting fights and absolutely no flaming. This is especially important on the mailing list and during any chat sessions held.
Communications: Members are expected to respect other members' email addresses and the holt mailing list. Do not send spam, chain letters etc, to the mailing list and do not distribute members' email addresses or other potentially sensitive material without prior consent.
Contribution Authorization: As a member, you grant SilverSprings Holt permanent permission to use any contributions you submit. This is necessary for online display of your material but may also include its usage for holt related documentation, activities, items, etc. As SilverSprings Holt is a non-profit organization, your contributions will never be solid for profit and you will still retain copyright as the original creator. If for whatever reason you leave the holt, be it our decision or yours, you have the right to take a character you created with you when you go. You may rework that character to fit into another RP, keep it for personal use, whatever you like. However, if you leave the holt without the intention of coming back, we reserve the right to kill off your character, and as long as you have been here long enough to establish your character, that is what will happen, unless you have decided to leave your character behind for us to place up for adoption. If you have adopted the character, this character will be placed back up for adoption upon your leave from the holt.
Copyrighting: Absolutly no canon ElfQuest characters allowed. Not only in the role-play, but as relationships . Please keep in mind, the timeline here at SilverSprings Holt is hundreds and hundreds of turns ahead of "Fire and Flight", and in a completely different realm. So don't try to fit them in here. Your character is copyrighted to you alone. When you leave, your character is still copyrighted to you, however, we reserve the right to use them for holt history and so on(please reffer to Contribution Authorization). Fanfiction and Fanart, likewise, is copyright to their respective owner. As characters are copyrighted to their respective owner, if you want to add then into your fanfiction, you must get permission from the character's 'puppet master'.
Manager's Rights: I reserve the right to remove any member at my discretion and without prior warning. Infringement upon any of the above rules is grounds for removal. Rules are subject to change at my discretion and without prior warning but all members will be notified of a change or update to the rules if this occurs. My other right is that I can choose two elves to recognize each other at ANY time. You cannot just recognize. You have to ask me first. And if I agree, I will pull papers from a hat to see to whom your will be recognized to. So you cannot choose in this case (dont worry, it's not as bas as it sounds)!
