that belong to your account.
AccountsEach FELIS user is allowed one account. Users found creating multiple accounts must submit an explanation to
Felisfire's owner, Madame Adelaide, and it must be satisfactory according to the owner's discretion. If the reason is
not satisfactory, the user will be made to give up one of the accounts for banning. Non-compliance or creating other
accounts after this first warning will result in permanent ban of the user's IP address. Users who wish to trade or
buy another's account must follow the rules laid out on the Moving Logs forum board prior to moving. Users are allowed
to share accounts according to the next section.
Account SharingIf an account is shared between two people, this is still considered to be one account. Be aware that in sharing a
single account, the actions of both players are held equally responsible for all aspects involving said account. It
does not matter if the other player(s) sharing this account are aware of the rules being broken, the punishment
will still apply to the dual account the same as a single player account, regardless of whether or not the other
person knew the rules had been broken or not.
Users Under 18 on FELISNo one under the age of 13 is allowed to have an account on Felisfire. Those who are under the age limit will have
their accounts banned until they reached 13. Users under the age of 18 must make their parental or guardian units
aware of the Felisfire.com Terms of Service and must obtain parental permission to access the site. Felisfire.com is
not a children's site. While we allow younger users to play on the site, it is with the expectation that they and
their parents have read our Terms of Service and understand it. This site is geared towards a more mature audience,
and it fosters mature, adult discussions as well as allowing creativity of character. Users under the age of 18
are to be aware that any content on the site labeled as [M] is not meant to be accessed by users under the age of 18.
If a parent discovers their minor on Felisfire.com and would like the child's account disabled, the parent is welcome
to email the site owner theofficialfelisfire@gmail.com and the
request will be fulfilled. Expected Behavior of Users on FELISUsers are expected to conduct themselves in a mature fashion at all times. Excessive rudeness or a hurtful, ridiculing
attitude toward any player (user or staff), site feature, or site amenity will not be tolerated. When discussing a
sensitive topic (such as religion, politics, sexuality, etc.), users must remember to remain respectful and should keep
any criticism aimed at the issue instead of each other. Voicing dislike for a political/religious figure or group is one
thing; however, personal attacks and insults toward other FELIS members is another. While everyone is allowed to convey
their opinions, they must be expressed in a way that does not seek to insult or berate, but rather to improve or calmly
discuss the topic at hand. Users utilizing the "Rants" forum should consider taking a step back and allow their
thoughts to settle before posting potentially inflammatory material to ensure they are handling the topic appropriately.
Mature Forum TopicsThe following topics are considered to be mature [M]: politics, religion, sex, sexual innuendo or jokes, artistic nudity,
sexuality, self harm or other such behavior or thoughts and excessive swearing. These topics are to be marked with [M]
so that any user under the age of 18 should know full well that they are meant for mature audiences, and those not
interested in such topics can know not to view them. These discussions may not be explicit in any way. Sexual
harassment or sexual behavior geared towards another player will result in immediate removal of the topic and a
warning given to the person or persons involved. This also extends to private messages, and users should report such
matters to the administration so that they may take immediate action. Permanent ban will result if this behavior
continues. These discussions are meant to allow freedom of speech within limitations for our more mature users. They
are to be read and participated in at the user's discretion.
Explicit MaterialNo user may post any material that is sexually explicit or that is illegal in any way on Felisfire.com. This
includes any and all areas of the site, such as forums, private messages, pet pages and user profiles. Any and
all forms of pornography, be they written or visual, are strictly prohibited. This includes bestiality and any works
that exhibit child sexuality or the sexual relationship of a child with an adult. Explicit swearing or vulgarity of
any form will not be tolerated, as it is uncalled for in any given situation.
Forbidden Topics of DiscussionThe following topics are forbidden to be discussed on Felisfire.com, be it via the forums, PMs, chat speak, or any other
form of communication on the site: pornography, pedophilia, cult creation, or the killing or harm of another person, be it
another user or a person not associated with FELIS. The state of Michigan, where the server is located, forbids
the discussion of these topics, and as such, anyone found doing so will risk banning of either their account or
IP from the site. While we allow freedom of speech within limitations, we must abide by the server location’s state
laws, and therefore request that any and all users do the same. If you have other questions concerning the state laws
of Michigan, please refer to this
site.

behavior, or donation habits. All accounts, virtual items, virtual currency (Energy, Orbs), coding, virtual pets,
images, and content are the property of FELIS administration, and may be seized for any reason. All registration
applications must be reviewed before gaining access to the FELIS site. This is not a public or open website, and
it is within the rights of the FELIS administration to revoke privileges to any user to access this site for any reason,
regardless of the user's actions on the Felisfire.com site. A warning and reason will be given in both these
circumstances.

We will not return Orbs used to purchase Premium. No matter what the given circumstance, we will not return your money
or orbs to you. When you transfer your money and complete a successful transaction through one of the designated payment
services to FELIS, your money is non-refundable. Should your account be permanently banned, you will not have your Orbs,
Cash Shop items, or money refunded. Should your account be hacked or a glitch robs you of your Orbs or Cash Shop items,
it will be at the administration's discretion whether or not to help you regain your Orbs or Cash Shop items.

limited to United States Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Gift Cards from any source such as Visa, Mastercard, Amazon Gift Cards,
Steam Gift Cards, etc. Trading or selling FELIS virtual items and currencies for real life items or merchandise is also prohibited.

graphics, coding, writing, etc. for real-life currencies provided they do not contain any official FELIS artwork. Cheating, Scamming, and GlitchesCheating is not allowed. It will result in permanent banning. This includes the making of multiple accounts, using
auto-buyers, auto-refreshers, or any other similar programs to play FELIS. Any user who presents FELIS administration
with concrete information regarding the use of programs by other user(s) and, which leads the FELIS administration
to take action against said users will be rewarded in the amount of five Orbs.
Usage of Site ResourcesAny user found to be using a disproportionate amount of site resources compared to other active, online users may be
banned by FELIS Administration. It may be a temporary or permanent ban according to how many times the user has
caused the service to malfunction for other users. An example of abusing site resources is holding down the F5
button on games. Users found holding down the F5 button on games will be temporarily banned, or permanently
banned if they have been found doing that prior and caused server stress with their actions.
Profanity and FlamingAs a mature orientated site, Felisfire.com does allow the use of swearing on the forums, so long as it is
not explicitly done. Forum titles, user names, and signatures may not have profanity in them. Forum boards with
swearing in them must be marked with [M] as a mature board, and the thread starter must allow the use of profanity
on said board. Swear words that require [M] are defined as: ass, bastard, bitch, fuck, and shit. Banned words may
not be posted on the Felisfire.com site except in the context of a written piece of literature (such as a
story or poem) and must be marked with [M] in the title. Banned words are: cunt, dyke, faggot and nigger. Flaming,
defined as insulting another member both directly to that member or indirectly to another member, through forums,
PMs, or the site's messaging features, is not allowed under any circumstances. If a member is breaking this rule
by goading you on, report to a moderator or administration. Remember to be respectful to all members. Debating is
allowed so long as it is not taken out of hand. Spam and Copy/PastingDo not post any short, useless posts on any of the money gaining forums; alternately do not copy and paste any
material you have not written onto any money gaining forums. Spamming is not allowed. In a forum with energy-gaining
potential, this will usually be members trying to gain Energy by posting useless and unnecessary things. Don't do it.
Also, do not spam a user's profile or PMs with chain mail or pyramid schemes. DisclaimersUsers hereby acknowledge that FELIS has limited control over which users gain access to Felisfire.com. We have no
