Follow Proper Forum Etiquette
• Stay on topic. When posting a response to a thread don’t post irrelevant comments, links, or images.
• Do not spam or create duplicate threads.
• Avoid multi/double posting in the same thread right after a previous post of yours. Provided it isn't spam, it is allowed, however if you want to mention another thing or edit your response you can simply press the "modify" option on your post instead.
• Avoid multi bumping threads. If you do bump, limit it to no more than once every other day. Bumping threads that have fallen off the front page is allowed but be mindful and only do so when necessary. If you want to revive a conversation, say something interesting, constructive, and relevant instead.
Refer here for further tips • Before posting a question in either the Game Help or Forum + Site Help boards, check if anyone has asked your same question and received a reply. Utilize the forum search bar.
• Avoid making excessive amounts of accounts. Utilize the ability to change your username rather than making a new account. If the staff believes a user is in possession of too many accounts, some of them might be deleted without any warning.
• If you note an issue that does not comply with any of the forum rules, you may bring it to the attention of the staff by using the Report button on the offending post as well as privately messaging staff
(HERE)

Respect the Staff & Their Rule Enforcement Policies:
• If a staff member asks you to stop a particular behavior be mindful of the request and obey it, if you do not this may result in an additional penalty.
• Do not argue with staff members about warnings, kicks, or bans. If you have a concern you are welcomed to private message any of the staff
(HERE) about it via the forum and it will be discussed privately.
• You may not seek information about another user's kicks and or bans. We like to respect every user's individual privacy and thus discussion of kicks & or bans is only had between the affected user and the staff.
• If you or anyone else is warned, kicked, or banned, do not discuss about it publicly. Any behavior seen as complaining or attention seeking may result in additional penalty.
Play Safe
Never share your personal information on FeralHeart. You do not fully know who is behind the computer regardless of who they might claim to be. If someone asks you for your information (such as your full name, home address, postcode, social networking accounts, etc) we advise you to not disclose it with them.
