As the Elite, we are held to a higher standard. We must be smarter, faster, stronger, wiser, and more fun than the others. This is our charge, it is our duty. These rules uphold the values this Academy stands for and provides members for a way to be a shining example in the dueling community.

Now, we understand how human nature works, which is why we are not outright banning anything but the worst behavior. Instead, we will regulate excessive amounts of the following:

1. No excessive swearing, cursing, profanity, or racism.
Okay: That sh*t is crazy!
Bad: F*ck that sh*t, b*tch ass c*nt c*cksucker motherf*cker *** ***** *** ********

2. Be kind and generous to other members, within reason.

3. Give respect as you shall receive it.

4. Only one forum account allowed per member.

5. No cheating.
This includes cheating at Dueling Network, and abusing the Points System.
This also includes stealing, plagiarism, and fraud.

6. Only Chancellors and Councilors are allowed to use the Topic Coloring feature.
This is to ensure that important messages are seen, and not drowned in a sea of color.

7. Do not beg for rank.
If you beg, you will only hurt your chances at power. Rank is given to those who earn it, and deserve it.

Neglecting to follow any of these rules will get you a warning. After 4 warnings, you are dismissed from the Academy.
