CALAS GALADHON PARK COVENANT & RULES
==========================

Our sims are rated Moderate or Mature. No one under 18 years (RL) is allowed inside the Park.

Other than that, we open our doors to all who seek the peace, beauty and safe environment we have worked hard to express.

All are welcome as long as they adhere to the following very important rules which we have put in place to assure … as much as possible … a pleasurable experience to all who walk through our gates.

We feel at Calas that Intolerance of merely the form or type of avatar a resident chooses to take in Second Life is not acceptable here. It is the behavior of any guest, including whether or not they wish to adhere to our rules and those of LINDEN LABS TERMS OF SERVICE that determines whether one is welcome in this Park estate or not.

Failure to respect or comply with any of the Rules will mean possible removal and banishment from the Park.. We, as the owners and staff, take them very SERIOUSLY

NO NUDITY WHATSOEVER … not everyone is comfortable with it, sorry.

ALL VISITORS must obey Linden Labs TERMS OF SERVICE agreement. NO EXCEPTIONS !
NO SEX
GESTURES
. In an effort to keep the park as quiet and peaceful as possible: NO EXCESSIVE GESTURES by ANYONE are allowed while in the Park. While attending our Live Music or any other events at the park, out of respect for our performers and other guests present during any of our events we ask that the use of gestures be kept to a bare minimum.
.Obscene gestures of any kind are not allowed within the Park.
NO SPAMMING If any avatar is caught passing to our guests uninvited offers of landmarks, business or personal information of any kind they will be immediately removed and banned from the Estate.

TAKE NOTE: We’ve become aware recently of some ‘parking’ their avies at locations on the sims in one spot for long periods of time. Be aware that using the sims in this way may possibly mean having the avie sent home. We welcome those who wish to spend time just sitting and listening to the music but be sure to find a bench or spot out of the way from any landing points, inside a home where other guests may wish to explore, etc.

ROLEPLAY:

All of the sims in the Park were designed for exploration, much as one would experience a State or National Park in the United States or elsewhere. That said, we do celebrate the opportunity for creative expression that Second Life has to offer. A couple guidelines (other than following those rules listed above):

. We understand that human and other forms of avatars like to participate in various types of role play with one another. Although we don’t disapprove of this, we want everyone in the Park to be comfortable and ask that role play is kept private as to not intrude on others. This includes our wish that No guest approach a stranger with an invitation to engage in any kind of role-play and that any role-play is not to impact the positive experience of any other visitor to the Park. In other words … if you think the peace of others not participating might be negatively affected by your ACTIONS, DRESS or dialog .. it would be best to stop or carry it another location.
======

CHILD AVATARS

We do understand that Child Avatars or ‘Kids’ can be a sensitive issue for some. In an effort to help all feel as welcome and as comfortable as possible while exploring the Park, we expect ‘kids’ who choose to visit the park to be well behaved and follow the same rules we ask of others, including those regarding GESTURES and role-play; keeping RP and gestures to a minimum or private while in the Park or at any of our events as well as not approaching other guests as many do come here merely for the peace and solitude that the park offers.

Because of the night club atmosphere we do wish to keep at our OZ Night CLUB .. ADULT avatars ONLY.

======

PHOTOGRAPHY & MACHINIMA

We welcome all photographers & machinima creators on the park who wish to use the park as inspiration for their artistic expression as well as posting images of the Park sims on blogs and photo websites.

Since we have worked hard to create this park FREE of rentals and shopping malls and have invited the public.. you … into our home at no cost … we ask that those who plan on selling the images in one form or another be sensitive to this by respecting our own creative work. We do insist that any artwork using images from the Park… including those used in blogging … list the sim name and CALAS GALADHON PARK as the location in the description of the artwork.

Feel free to provide us with the URL for your blogs or photo sites as always enjoy seeing the great work of those who come to the sim to capture the beauty of what the park has to offer.

We do retain the right to use any images taken in the park on our http://www.calasgaladhon.com blog or for display in the Park.

FINALLY:

Basically, aside from having to adhere Linden Labs Terms of Service agreement it all comes down to showing respect and kindness to not only other visitors in the park, but to the creators and owners of Calas Galadhon.

If an avatar is found in violation of any of the above rules OR is found harassing, threatening, just being obnoxious or anything other than respectful and kind to another guest , they may be asked to leave or, depending on the behavior, be ejected and banned immediately from the Estate.

If any guest feels they are being harassed in any form, aside from reporting the abuse to Linden Labs, we ask that you let us know . We won’t always have a solution but will do what we can to investigate if warranted.

Calas Galadhon Park is our SL home which we’ve opened to you… Please be sensitive to this and respect our rules.

We wish you peaceful and pleasant explorations during your visit with us 🙂

Thank you. Ty Tenk & Truck Meredith / Owners
