FAQS:
i. What is the Bell currency here and what is it used for?
Sapling bells is the currency used on this forum. It's a forum currency which you gain bells every time you make a post! They can be traded with other members or used to buy items from the forum shop. A more detailed explanation can be found >>here<<
i. Can friends or siblings make an account using the same IP address?
Yes, multiple users can join the sapling using the same IP address. Usually this will happen when you have multiple people using the same computer wanting to join the same website. If the new account you create gets automatically blocked due to the system thinking it's a hacker (or something similar) then pm me (admin) and I can manually create a new account for your friend/sibling.
i. What is the difference between a disabled and banned account and what are the rules for this?
When a member breaks one of the rules set out in the Rules Thread, they will receive a verbal warning (given the benefit of the doubt). Members are advised to read the rules at this point as breaking additional rules after this will result in warnings given on their account.
If you receive 3 warnings, your account will be disabled for 2 weeks (disabled members can still access the boards but they cannot post). After the 2 weeks period, if you break another rule you receive a temporary ban for another 2 weeks (at this point you can't access the board). Any rule breaks after this will result in a permanent ban.
Verbal warning (1st rule break) -> 3 warnings = disabled for 2 weeks -> Fourth rule break = banned for 2 weeks -> Fifth rule break = permanent ban.
