Outspark welcomes you to our community.


We offer these forums to support exciting discussion about our games and other relevant subject matter. Please review the following guidelines before posting in our forums, as they define several important requirements for participation.


Here's what we love to see on our forums:
Excited, opinionated discussion is encouraged here. Tell other community members what's on your mind--just make sure you're considerate. We expect the tone of the boards to remain civil at all times.


Here are some specific behaviors we cannot allow on these forums, which will be enforced at Outspark's sole discretion:


1) We take privacy (our own as well our members') very seriously. Personally identifiable information of any kind will be removed immediately, and will result in the immediate blocking of your account. As stated in our Terms of Service, such terminated accounts will be ineligible for refunds of any kind, or for account restoration. This also applies to information posted about Outspark Staff.


2) Insulting, defamatory, or threatening language, including remarks involving race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or anything else deemed offensive and/or inappropriate by Outspark Staff.


3) Attempts to circumvent our profanity filter in any way. This includes different spellings incorporating different characters or removing letters to form a similar representation of profanity.


4) Offensive content, including descriptions, visual depictions (movie or image), or hyperlinks to the same. We insist that this community be appropriate for all of our visitors, regardless of age.


5) Posting of irrelevant or distracting messages. Also, if you want to request a thread be "bumped"--that is, made to appear at the top of the forum page--please make a case for it instead of posting "bump" or "+1." (We're listening.)


6) Account or item trading or selling, advertisement of other sites or games, or for any commerce other than that which is sanctioned by Outspark on outspark.com or by one of our partners.


All forum content is subject to review (including edits and deletion) by Outspark Staff, as per the guidelines outlined in this document and in our Terms of Service. These policies are subject to change without notice--please check back frequently.


We'll see you in the forums!


Please note that both the Community Manager and the Game Masters may not be able to respond to all Private Messages. We will, however, try our best to respond to as many of your messages as possible. Thanks.
