Failure to adhere to our Terms of Service may result in permanent termination of your account.

  • 3rd party tools which automate parts of the game (eg. training/farming/ranking up jutsus), acting as bots
    without the user present is prohibited
  • Tools that can be used to edit packets or client side data is prohibited
  • Illegal tools include physical tools like placing a paperweight on your keyboard to automate ranking up jutsus while you sleep.
  • Illegal tools include using younger brothers whom do not speak English to repeat a set of tasks for hours.
  • Tools that automate combo-ing jutsus as long as the user is present at the keyboard, for competitive edge is allowed.
  • Tunnel programs eg. NoPing are allowed, but we do not provide assurances that they will work well with the game.

Your account and I.P will be permanently banned from the game and forums.

  • Killing Other Players is allowed

Players will not be punished for killing other players.

  • Do not be toxic to other players (OOC)
  • Do not use /v (village chat) for non-village related matters
  • Do not use use offensive language or slurs (includes race, religion, gender, etc.).
  • Show respect towards any development staff, it is not a requirement for developers to interact with players. It's not an entitlement to have direct conversation with development staff.

If you are reported by somebody who takes offense, you may be given warning points depending on severity.
As a rule of thumb, if you feel that you or somebody else could take offense from what you're about to say, don't say it.
This is note to be mistaken with using swear words within a roleplay context. Eg. "Fuck the Leaf, I'm going to kill them all!"

It is not an excuse to say your in-character RP character is a guy who PMs him victims and calls them a little bitch etc. In the same way it is not an excuse to say your in-character RP character is a guy who abuses exploits and uses hacks and 3rd party programs or your in-character RP character is somebody who has the power to automate his training by turning off his mind through bots.

Eg. of an out-of-character insult "b***** n**** f**** your mom"
Eg. of an In-character insult "You fight like a b****"

 

5. Bug Abuse & In-Game Behavior

  • Do not knowingly abuse a bug, exploit or feature, including but not limited to unfinished gameplay mechanics or programmer oversights.
  • Do not use multiple accounts/clients/computers to give yourself an unfair advantage over other players.
  • Do not obstruct another players path through the usage of multiple accounts, clients or machines.

These actions will result in a warning and punishment applied to your account.

 

6. Moderation Appeals

  • All Appeal against action which has been taken on your account must be sent to a member of the community team, eg. GM or Moderator.
  • You are not encouraged to protest to the community or on discord/facebook.
  • Doing so so will result in further action against your account
  • My brother used my account/IP address is not a valid excuse for abuse.

Example of a good response:
"I like this idea because *insert opinion here*."

  • This is anything which someone would not want to know such as an anime's ending, a major event that happened in a show, and everything else in between.
  • You must also explain why you have it in a spoiler tag and not just put it hidden in a spoiler.

 

Your post will be edited and if this is repeated you will be warned.

  • Please keep all discussions relevant to the original post.
  • Remember that announcements are not the place to report bugs or ask for technical support.

Your post will be moved to the right place and if this continues you will be warned.

Basic Respect Guidelines

 

Things that might get you in trouble

  • Harassing or insulting moderators or staff.
  • Having a persistently antagonistic, cynical, combative, sceptical or complaining attitude. For example, continuously claim that Nin Online is absolutely terrible in every way, you may quickly wear out your welcome.
  • Repeatedly bringing up topics that are known to be controversial.
  • Copypastas
  • Attempting to circumvent moderation activity, e.g. re-posting a locked thread.
  • Repeatedly making false, misleading or wildly exaggerated statements.
  • Deliberately trying to provoke a reaction.
  • This extends to excessive discussion and questioning of the rules themselves, raising suspicion that you are looking for loopholes or testing the limits, or otherwise attempting to circumvent our rules.
  • Complaining or harassing moderators and staff over moderation decisions, or backseat-modding (telling moderators what to do). Please take up any moderation concerns in private.
  • ALL CAPS posting or otherwise obnoxious posting styles. lol.
  • Consistent wild speculation or controversial theories about what’s really going on. We know banning you will probably fuel these theories, but it can get really tiresome.
  • Nagging staff constantly, especially over weekends and holidays. We’re only human, and we need time off too.
  • Being excessively demanding or impatient. We deal with many users, and we usually have a ton of work to do.
  • Consistently conducting a discussion in bad faith (i.e. with a negative intent). This can be difficult to prove decisively, but if our experienced moderators deem that you are not discussing in good faith, you may end up banned. Discussing in bad faith includes, but is not limited to, behaviour such as:
    • Demanding time-consuming explanations or analysis, and then rejecting it outright
    • Creating difficult or time-consuming discussions while putting in comparatively little effort yourself
    • Deliberately obfuscating or confusing issues, so they take longer to resolve
    • Shifting goalposts: whenever someone counters a point you raised, immediately bringing up some other contentious issue instead (e.g. “yes but what about…”) so that the discussion can never be resolved. Note that it can still create a bad-faith impression when it’s someone else who shifts the goalposts.
    • Demanding impractical measures or infeasible solutions. If we say we can’t do something, it’s not because we don’t want to, or we’re being difficult, we genuinely can’t do everything!
    • Accusing people of ignoring you or not caring, after they have tried to help
