Jail System
This is what we have as our punishment system, it's an easy way of banning someone without having to remember to unban them. We can also jail you for short periods of time so you hopefully learn your lesson, not to break the rules.

How It Works
We as Admins can put anyone in jail. We can set the time you are in jail. We can make it so A: You can view the forums, but you cannot post. Or B: we can make it so you cannot view the forums at all.
We also have the option to set a bail price, if a member wants to bail you out, and we can set it up so you can be voted out of jail. Usually the more offensive rule that has been broken, the worse the jailing will be.

| Main Rules |
Spamming
Spamming is one of theings we do not allow on ZG.com. Yes, we can be leniant, but if you consistantly make 1 word posts, we will start you off in jail for 6 hours, and work our way up. So we make one suggestion here at ZG.com, Just Don't Spam!!

Double Posting
Double posting is a form of spam, BUT, sometimes double posting can be an accident. Like when you hit the submit button twice, and the same reply ends up there 2 times. With this, as long as it is the last post, you can delete it, but if someone is making a post at the same time, sometimes yours will go first.
IF that happens, PM an Admin or a Moderator and tell them, they will be happy to delete one. Although if you make 2 replies totally different one right after the other, that can start out with 4 hours in jail, and the punishment will work its way up.

Admin/Mod bashing
This will not be tolerated, this offense starts out with a 3 day jailing without viewing the forum, and no one can bail or vote you out. If you really have a problem with an Admin or a Mod, send them a PM or an e-mail and try to work the problem out that way. If the admin or mod does not co-operate or seems to be abusive of his position, contact another admin, or mod. Although if it is meant as a joke to the Admin or Mod, it wold be ok, but If it is meant to be a bash, you'd better be prepared to be Jailed!

Member Bashing
This is also known as Flaming other members. Don't bash other members for any reason. Just because someome sees things differently than you doesn't mean you can bash them. If you have a problem with a member, PM or e-mail them, and try to work it out. Otherwise PM an Admin or a Mod, and that Admin or Mod will help you resolve the issue that you have with each other. Althouh if the member is just bashing someone for the sake of doing it, that will lead to a 1 day in jail, and the more you do it, the time in jail goes up.

Discrimination
This is not taken too lightly. The staff at ZG.com sees discrimination more than just bashing someone. It puts down and bashes ones beliefs, way of life, or maybe an entire religion. This sort of behavior will satrt out with 3 days in jail, and double for each offense. IF we catch you discriminating members more than 4 times it will lead to a 1 month jailing.

| Minor Rules |
Profanity
We do allow minor profanity, which is pretty much the same stuff you can hear on the television these days. But we do have some words censored out in case you let words slip out. This isn't really a rule that will get you put in jail, we just encourage you not to use profanity in your posts.

Useless Old Topics
If you go looking into the pages of the forums and see an old topic that really has nothing of convenience anymore, don't post in it. Leave it where it is. This will usually get you jailed for about 2 hours if we fin that you were the one that posted in the old topic.

Meaningful Old Topics
If you want to post a topic about your favorite food, look on the first 4 pages for a topic like that first, because we like to keep one topic for everything, so if you do not find it on the first 4 pages of that forum, then go ahead and make a post about whatever it is you want.

Topic in the Wrong Forum
IF you post a topic in the wrong forum and didn't realise it, don't worry, an Admin or Mod will see it eventually and move it to where it needs to be. If you posted a topic in the wrong forum and do notice it, PM an Admin or Mod and the ycan move it for you as well.
