This is the Quasar Home Page Submissions Guidelines. Anything submitted for inclusion in the official Quasar manuals, or for inclusion on this site must adhere to these guidelines. Submissions in violation of these guidelines will be rejected until they are in conformance. Note that these rules are not intended to prescribe what you do personally with Quasar.

1. WHAT IS FORBIDDEN

The following shall not appear in any submissions at all: profanity, sexual themes (including rape, adultery, lust, homosexuality, and sexual activities), detailed violence and/or gore, and anything satanic or occultish. Artwork shall not include nudity or anything that could reasonably be perceived as pornographic. "Nudity" is defined as graphic portrayal or facsimiles of reproductive organs.

2. GOOD VS EVIL

The following things shall not be portrayed in an attractive light, or in any other way promoted: evil, crime, divorce, child or spouse abuse, addiction, ethnic superiority, use of alcohol or narcotics, slavery, or disrespect to people with or without handicaps, of either gender, or of specific age groups. The presence of any of these themes shall be solely as a foil to the forces of good. Good must ultimately triumph over evil. People are to be treated as valuable human beings and not inferior to others, individually or as a group.

Conversely, the following things shall be presented in a positive light: law enforcement, marriage, and parenthood. When presented in a negative light, it shall be an obvious exception and as a example of what is undesirable.

3. PLAYER VERSUS PC

The player shall not be confused with his imaginary persona. This should be clear in all submissions.

4. NON-FICTIOUS NAMES

The name of a real person, living or dead, shall not be used if the name used is sufficient to uniquely identify the individual. Actual place names in current use are not to be used. Names of organizations, associations, political parties, or companies currently in business are not to be used. No trademarks are to used. No religion being practiced today shall be referenced. No religious personality shall be referenced.

5. HORROR

Dark, hopeless, and/or despairing settings (including horror) are not appropriate, unless good and hope ultimately triumph.

6. INTERNET LINKS

Links will not be provided from this site to sites which vary significantly from these guidelines.

7. PERMISSION OF USE

Unless otherwise specified, all submissions must be accompanied by a signed contract releasing rights to this site, or allowing the material to be freely distributed. Obviously, no plagiarized works are acceptable.

Explicit details of procedures, technology or science which could reasonably be duplicated and misused in real-life are forbidden.
