☆Game Team Inboxes
It is forbidden to flood the inboxes of the administrators and/or moderators. They are all here to look after the smooth functioning of the forum, so thank you for not spamming their inboxes with messages that have no utility. If you feel the need to talk and share your ideas, you can use the appropriate section in the forum.
When sending a message to an administrator/moderator, be as precise and concise as possible so that they can deal with your request quickly and the most efficiently as possible. Useless messages will go unanswered and may, if deemed necessary, result in a warning or punishment.
☆Chain Messages
Chain messages/letters/posts are not allowed, especially when they refer to a sensitive subject.
☆Language

Like a Fashionista is the English version of the French game Ma Bimbo. When communicating in the game, through private messages, comments, signatures or in the forum, players are to communicate in English only. If another language is posted (a quotation for example), the English translation should always be included.
Any text that isn’t in English and doesn’t include an accurate English translation may be deleted without warning.

FORUM'S SPECIFIC RULES
☆Before opening a new topic
:
- Choose the right forum section.
- Look at the ‘stuck’ topics, at the top of the forum section. This is where you will find any rules that are specific to a certain forum section.
- Take the time to read previously posted topics. Double posts will be closed and/or deleted.
- Make sure to have a clear title, a clear and understandable spelling (no text language). Confusing or inappropriate topics will be automatically closed.
- No flooding and avoid opening several discussions at the same time.
☆Before posting a message:
- First, choose the right topic.
- Flooding is forbidden and will be automatically deleted!
(What is flooding?: unnecessary and unrelated messages, such as off-topic, repetitive messages, messages that contain ONLY “reduced”/text messages (lol, ttyl, np, bc...), messages that contain ONLY emoticons.)
- Double posting is forbidden, because it is useless. You can always use the "EDIT" function or the "PREVIEW" button to see your message before posting it.
- Be clear and comprehensible: NO TEXT language, and remember to use correct punctuation and spelling.
Remember: A comprehensible message is the best way to get responses!
- Watch your behaviour and comments: don’t be aggressive and be respectful of others. (see the Terms of Service).
-In the case of a conflict, please use private messages to try and resolve the issue.
-If the conflict becomes unresolvable and/or offensive, please notify a moderator, they will help to find a solution.
-If there is a problem, make sure to remain polite; anger or rudeness never resolves problems.
☆Sensitive Subjects:
✗ Know that the following “sensitive” subjects are not tolerated in this forum, to ensure a positive environment and a certain security for our players:
➜ Politics, religion, sexuality, war, death, suicide, depression, drugs and medication,etc. When in doubt, don’t hesitate to ask a moderator.
It would be a shame to prepare a long topic only to have it removed.
✗ Politics :
This is a sensitive subject, everyone has their personal opinion and this subject has nothing to do with Like a Fashionista, it is therefore unauthorised.
✗ Religion :
Same as with Politics. See the above explanation.
✗ Violence :
Cruel or shocking descriptions, etc.. are not tolerated. You can evoke the subject but without lingering on it or including explicit details.
Do not talk about scenes of gratuitous violence.
✗ Death and Suicide:
Here are some specifications on this subject:
- Talking about suicide in any way is not allowed.
- Talking about murder is not allowed in any way.
- Descriptions or any detail about the act of dying or any death process is not allowed.
- Discussions about the death of any real person are not allowed. The Like a Fashionista forum is not a place for this type of discussion. If you need to talk about such personal matters, please visit a specialised site.
✔ You can evoke the subject of death but without lingering on it or including explicit details.
✔ You can mention that a character in a story is dead or has died.
✗ Sex:
Same idea as for the subject of violence. Pornographic descriptions, etc. are not tolerated!
However, talking about love is not prohibited.
Use spoilers for these scenes with a warning in red.
OK = Love scene, you have been warned.
Spoiler Click to display
Although NOT included in the ‘sensitive’ topics, please note the following subject:
✔/✗ Homosexuality :
This subject is not meant to be taboo in our society, it should be the same for Like a Fashionista.
The subject of homosexuality can however be a sensitive subject to some people, and we should respect that. If it is a subject in your post, include this detail in the beginning (in red in the first lines) and in the title/tag!
The aim of this is to know what we will be reading, without having to read it (and if we don’t want to, we don’t have to read it).
- Again, any messages that are violent, libelous, defamatory, racist, revisionist, defend war crimes, pedophiles, incite murder or suicide, incite discrimination or hatred, reproduction of a copyrighted work without authorisation, contrary to current law and therefore punishable, are prohibited.
☆Images
- Watch the content of your images, and respect the authors rights. Any theft, plagiarism, use of images that relate to the "SENSITIVE SUBJECTS" is strictly forbidden.
Any disregard of these rules will not go without punishment.
- To guarantee a positive forum appearance, posted images should not be wider than 600 pixels.
- A banner in a forum signature must not be taller than 150 pixels, one line of text can be added.
☆Videos
- Please DO NOT directly embed videos into the forum. We ask this because having several embedded videos on one page may cause a server overload. When possible, please provide a link to the video.
Additionally, watch the content of your videos, and respect the authors rights. Any theft, plagiarism and/or use of videos that relate to the "SENSITIVE SUBJECTS" is strictly forbidden.
☆Links
- Do not redirect to forbidden or illegal links, or disrespectful of copyrights. They will be deleted and punished according to the seriousness of the offense.
-Always pay attention to messages left for you and other players by the administration and moderators, there goal is to help you avoid punishment!
- Don’t forget to read any rules that exist that are specific to a certain section in the forum (if they exists, they are found “stuck” at the top of the forum).
☆ Forum Games
When participating in forum games in the Game Room, please read all the rules before posting in a topic. If a player doesn't follow the rules, depending on the offense, they may be banned from the forum.
These rules are subject to change in order to maintain compliance with the site and forum.
In the case of any questions, the moderators are here to help you, so that you can spend more time enjoying the game!
Thank you for your attention and have fun on Like a Fashionista!

Sanctions can last for a few days ban from the private messages and forum to a definitive ban. During this time, you can take care of your Fashionista, but you will be unable to access the forum or PM.

5. Reporting a message
Players can report messages that do not follow the site rules.
To do this, open a message and in the 'Actions' menu select 'Report'.
Once you have reported a message, place the user on your Blacklist so they can no longer contact you while waiting for the game team to sanction them.
What types of messages should you report?
All messages that go against the game rules:
- Requests for FD/ Bank Codes/ Fashion'pop...
- Insults and rude comments
- Requests for user information (email, password, etc.)
- Any messages that are violent, libelous, defamatory, racist, revisionist, defend war crimes or pedophiles, incite murder or suicide, incite discrimination or hatred, reproduce a copyrighted work without authorization, or are otherwise contrary to current law and therefore punishable.
Careful: Do not report just any message!!
Only report messages that must be reported, this function is not a game!! You can be banned for 3 days from using messages and the forum if you abuse this function.
So do not report messages like: "Hey, how are you" "Your Fashionista is beautiful", etc.
Once the message is reported and the Fashionista is in your Blacklist, you have done all you've needed to to and the game team will take care of the rest.
