Valenth Official Site and Forum Rules


Welcome to Valenth!

We have a couple rules you should look over before adopting your first pet, or taking part in our forums.
Should you have trouble understanding them in whole or in part, feel free to PM a moderator for help.

P.S. - Despite popular belief, not having read the rules doesn't excuse you from having broken them; you may as well do so and give yourself the upper hand! ;)


Site and Forums Rules

We adopt a PG-13 rating and stance for our website, and moderate all forums content to adhere to it as well.
Unlike most other adoptable websites, our content isn't necessarily for children!

Valenth is a Dark Fantasy-Steampunk world, and as such, heavy topics such as violence, morality, alternate sexuality and Apothecary drug use may appear in our storylines and settings, along with occasional strong language and adult themes.
We avoid explicit imagery by all means, but the implications are there, and we allow and even encourage our users to discuss and debate them in greater detail on the forums if they wish.

If this makes you uncomfortable, you and your children can easily avoid it by simply adopting our pets here and avoiding the forums and plot updates. :)

The viewpoints expressed by Valenth NPCs, storylines, concepts and so forth are not necessarily held by Agoge, inc. or its employees.
We're just here to make you think-- and have fun doing it!

This is to keep from spamming up the forums when people are trying to have discussions!
You're welcome to place a reasonable number of adoptables in your signature (don't exceed the signature size limit-- see below!), and if you want more room than that, you can display them on your profile, or even make your very own feeding and showcase thread in the Public Stables!

Valenth adoptables are easy to level up-- so in return, we ask that you not make use of auto-clicker programs or websites.
You are allowed to use browser addons like Snaplinks-- but you do so at your own risk!
We cannot replace adoptables you accidentally delete because of the functionalities of these tools, so be careful!

This includes fighting, flaming, name-calling, threats, blacklists and other general aggressive behavior unto your peers.

If you have a problem with someone, take it up with them in a PM or make use of the site's ignore features and forget about them!

This includes short, rapid, and repetitive posts or off-topic discussions (OUTSIDE of the Emery and Guildensturn chat forums-- we won't moderate them!).
To keep from spamming, edit your posts if you have something new to add and no one has responded to you yet, and try to keep the topic of the post you're replying to in mind! Don't beg for things or post your adoptables outside of the allowed areas, either.

Note that necroing posts-- responding to boards that haven't been answered for a while-- is totally okay here!
If you want to renew a conversation, go for it. :)

If you want to trade your adoptables with other users, host a giveaway, or simply transfer adoptables from one of your accounts to another, that's all fine.

However, using the trades to show off, or share your opinions with the site is not. Find a suitable forum for your soapbox-- there are plenty to choose from!

This simple rule is to keep the forums tidy, readable, and easily loadable for all of our users.
This includes all adoptables, banner graphics, text, etc-- smaller is better!
If you're not sure what 150 pixels looks like, reference this handy banner; your entire signature should fit within it, heightwise.

Valenth Guidelines and Tips

Keep these guidelines and tips in mind while you explore Valenth!

Please be reasonable about the number of extra accounts you make-- mass adopting limited adoptables inflates the population, making them worth less for everyone, including you!
Three is a good, reasonable number, but we won't be moderating these unless abuse comes about.
Be responsible!

Some of our providers may not always automatically credit you; if you don't recieve your credits in two hours, PM DNA with a dated receipt/screenshot or other proof of purchase and the amount of credits you purchased, and we can manually credit your account for you!

Check out the Help Directory to find who to go to when you're having trouble around the site!


Please enjoy your time around Valenth-- welcome, and thanks for playing! :)
