Forum FAQ

What are the formatting options for forum posts?

  • You may post in plain text or HTML.
 How do I post in HTML?
  • Select the 'HTML' format option instead of plain text, and do what comes naturally.
  • If you don't know proper html, there are many places where you can learn it. You may wish to consider the link below:
  • http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
  • The use of proper HTML keeps replies to forum posts from being broken.

Guidelines for forum posting:

  • Do not try to defeat the spellcheck by padding posts. Use the <nospellcheck> and </nospellcheck> tags in HTML instead.
  • Only post things that would be acceptable in chat. Admins read forums, too. (See Chat FAQ)
  • Try to stay on topic within threads.
  • Avoid thread titles in CAPS, sTiCkY cApS, full of ****, or other eye-catching/annoying punctuation, subject to fines.
  • Adding opinions/commentary to others' FS/WTB threads is also a fineable offense.(No longer possible to reply to FS/WTB)
  • No commercial or "please click this to give me referral credits" links, please.
  • Please be sure to read the policy of each directory of the forums before posting.

Chat FAQ

What is acceptable chat behavior?

Language:

  • First and foremost keep your language PG. If you are unsure about what is PG, check here [1]
  • Censoring Un-PG language from your own chat with **** or &%#*& is not acceptable.
  • Under no circumstances may you traffic in warez, cracking, or anything else that is illegal in the CB chat/forums. This includes private chat.
  • Don't spam the chat window. Try to keep your thoughts to as few lines as possible. Writing gibberish just because you are bored is also considered spam.
  • English is the gold standard of chat, if you are asked to speak English by an OP you should do so.
  • L33T speak is frowned upon in chat.
  • Kindly remember CB includes both young people and people who speak English as a second language. Keep your communication as clear and concise as possible for the benefit of everyone.

Buying/selling/forging:

  • If you are selling something that can be auctioned, don't advertise it in chat. That doesn't mean you HAVE to auction it; it just means don't waste my time telling me about it in chat.
  • If you are looking for something that can be auctioned, don't ask "Is anyone selling thus-and-so" in chat, either.
  • Looking for forge work or looking for a forger belongs in the Forging Services forum, not in chat.
  • Other advertisements are OK as long as you follow normal guidelines: keep it on as few lines as possible, and don't repeat yourself when you don't get a response immediately. After the initial message, you should take bargaining to PM; I suggest starting with "PM me if ..."

Enforcement:

  • ChatOPs are trusted with maintaining community standards. If you are asked to end an offensive or endlessly annoying conversation, do so. The latter may include topics including politics and religion. Excessive rudeness or namecalling, even within the bounds of the PG rule, will not be tolerated.
  • If an OP chooses to /kick you out of chat remember that a kick is a warning. It's best not to argue a kick, just learn from it and move on. Arguing may get you /kill.
  • "Well, chat was dead anyhow," is not an excuse for breaking any chat rules.
  • Repeat offenders will be referred to Admins for discipline beyond /kick & /kill.
  • Kicks last 30 seconds, Kills last an hour, and having a ! in your name bans you from chat.

Multi FAQ

What is it to be a ' multi?'

  • A multi is anyone who creates more than one account on carnageblender. This is forbidden.

What happens if I am a multi?

  • In most cases, your first account will be reset, others will be banned. If the case is bad enough you will be permanently banned from CB. If you create one by mistake please contact an admin as soon as possible, let them know about the issue and they will clear it up while handing out a lighter punishment.

May I share my CB account with my friend?

  • No, if your friend wants to play he has to make his own account.

May I create two (or more) accounts in CB?

  • No, create a new character if you want to start over.

I use the same IP as my roommate, will people suspect me of being a multi?

  • If you two act like a multi, you'll risk getting suspected of being a multi. If you don't, then there's nothing to worry. One of the quickest ways of getting suspected as a multi is to share items and cash. So try to avoid that.

How can I sell my weapon to my roommate?

  • Use the auction system with 1CB$ starting bid, no 'buy now' option and an auction duration over 24 hours.

How do you prove that someone is a multi?

  • We won't tell, just don't do it!

Admin FAQ

What do admins do?

  • Solve problems that are otherwise unsolvable, e.g., you wish to reactivate a long-retired character.
  • Discipline people.

May I be an admin?

  • No, you may not.

When and how should I contact an admin?

  • If you feel someone has wronged you to the point that you need to tell someone else, if you think you may have found a multi or if you need to clarify a rule then you post to the Public Record section of the forum.
  • First contact a sub-admin and allow them to pass the issue up the ranks if it is required.
