Outwar Anti-Spam Policy

Outwar prohibits its members from using spam and other forms of Internet abuse to gain character power. Spam is defined as including, but not limited to, the following:

• Electronic mail messages addressed to a recipient with whom the initiator does not have an existing business or personal relationship or is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of, the recipient;
• Messages posted to Usenet and message boards that are off-topic (unrelated to the topic of discussion), cross-posted to unrelated newsgroups, or posted in excessive volume;
• Solicitations posted to chat rooms, or to groups or individuals via Internet Relay Chat or "Instant Messaging" system (such as ICQ);
• Certain off-line activities that, while not considered spam, are similar in nature, including distributing flyers or leaflets on private property or where prohibited by applicable rules, regulations, or laws.

Outwar may undertake, at its sole discretion and with or without prior notice, the following enforcement actions:

Account Termination: Upon the receipt of a credible complaint, Outwar may immediately terminate the membership of the individual implicated in the abuse. Termination results in the immediate closure of the account, and a prohibition against any future membership.

Account Suspension: Upon the receipt of a credible complaint, Outwar may immediately suspend the membership of the individual implicated in the abuse. Suspension is intended to prevent the abuser from benefiting from their abusive activities by prohibiting the offender from playing Outwar. After a thorough investigation, if the spamming incident is verified, but does not rise to the level of a terminable offense, Outwar may (but is not obligated to) lift the suspension.
