Yeti's Tips & Tricks 8 April 2008

       You've got questions,        Yeti has answers.

The Yeti has an important reminder and great game tips for all VMK players!

Hello there! Yeti here! Yavn wanted me to remind you guys about some safety concerns related to the recent announcement about VMK closing.

We know it's a difficult time and we're all saddened by the news, but let's remember to keep VMK a safe and fun place in the remaining weeks before the game closes.

We know you've made friends on VMK but we need to remind you again that it's against VMK Values to share any personal or contact information in VMK.

At Disney we work very hard to make VMK a fun and safe environment for Guest of all ages but VMK Players do their part too! Here's how you can help: just follow the VMK Values.

1. Using ANY program that modifies, plays or logs into VMK for you is NOT ALLOWED. Using these programs affect our systems (and other players) and will get you banned.

If you didn't download it from VMK.com, DON'T use it with VMK!

2. NEVER harass players or bother players – or engage in ANY behavior that may be offensive or disruptive to the game or other players. This includes disruptive protest, using foul language, name calling, blocking a room, entrance or Quest item.

Be respectful to other players and the community, don't do anything that wouldn't be allowed in a real Disney park. Treat players as you would like to be treated.

Look! I'm wearin' a safety outfit!

3. Adult subjects are NEVER allowed in VMK. This includes discussing or describing adult subjects, creating any type of 'relationship' rooms or engaging in chat related to adult subjects or relationships.

Play VMK like your parents or schoolteacher are watching, if they wouldn't approve of your behavior or activity, there's a very good chance we don't either.

4. NEVER, under any circumstance ask for or give out ANY personal information to another player. (This includes your password, e-mail address, telephone number, location, or other means of contact or personal information.)

It doesn't matter if you know the person – giving out ANY personal information online is NEVER safe, against VMK Values and will get you banned.

5. Don't describe or discuss acts of violence against yourself or others. Doing this will not only get you banned but depending on the situation it could also get you into trouble with local authorities (that means the police).

6. Don't scam or steal from other players. Don't give away, trade or sell your VMK character.

Scamming takes many forms, for example creating or opening any type of 'Pay to Play' room. (This is a room where you pay the room owner to play a game and it's up to the room owner to award the prize.) Players charging for ANY type of game or activity is also against VMK Values and will get you banned.

These are just a few of the VMK Values, for the full list look here.

Let's keep VMK a fun and safe place to play!
