RP forum art thefts

This is serious. Please pay attention.

We've noticed that people seem to be laughing at the art theft rules, we're finding numerous instances of people committing art theft, despite the clear rules that we have against art theft. These are not difficult to understand, and we're beginning to think that people are partaking in this rule breaking because they feel that we will not really be doing anything - so it's time to show otherwise. We're not talking anything crazy, but people need to remember that failing to follow these rules (referring to the rules about art theft) can lead to an indefinite removal, which would be difficult to overturn. Warnings will now come in the form of short bans, length will be dependant on the severity of the rule-breaking. Second instances will now be punished via. a longer removal, again, dependant on the severity of the rule-breaking. Third instances will be dealt with via. indefinite removal, meaning that individuals will have to contact the support centre. We will also be removing threads as necessary, or editing posts as necessary, depending on if the issue is thread-wide or not. Remember, people - art theft is not a rule that we have for FUN. It is a CRIMINAL OFFENCE. If we do not uphold these rules, we can be shut down for not doing so. We have already had an ENTIRE ANNOUNCEMENT STATING THIS and explaining it. This is the second time we've had to do this, and the first time was fair - people were seemingly unaware... Now, there's absolutely no reason for it.
