MetalPact Rules

Posted in Social Media

1. Prohibited Posts/Topics
Any post which contains racism, racial epithets, domestic violence, politics, controversial social issues, animal cruelty, or involving minors are prohibited both in the group and any group chats.

  • First Offense: Varies from Post Approval to Removal, based upon severity of the offense. At minimum, you will be placed on 30 Days Post Approval. 
  • Second Offense: Varies from Muting to Removal, based upon severity of the offense. 
  • Third Offense: Removal from all Groups, Chats, and Pages we operate or are affiliated with. 

 

2. Don't flood the newsfeed
We suggest that you limit your posts to 3 at a time, and then allow the newsfeed to clear up. Post Approvals are limited to 3 pending posts. Pages are restricted to 3 posts maximum per day.

  • First Offense: 30 Days Post Approval, limited to 3 posts per day. Pending Post Approvals are only released twice a day. 
  • Second Offense: Muting, duration varies upon severity of the offense. If you are on Post Approval and send more than 3 posts per 24 hour period, that is considered an offense. 
  • Third Offense: Removal from all Groups, Chats, and Pages we operate or are affiliated with. 

 

3. Message Team Evil to Report Issues
We prefer you message us instead of reporting an issue. If you have an issue with a post, person, or even to ask why an admin took a certain action:  message the Team Evil page. Include screenshots.

To report, message the Team Evil Page.

4. No Advertising
There is zero advertising allowed without obtaining prior permission from the management. Whether it's for Groups, Pages, or advertising of ANY kind. Message Team Evil's Page to request permission.

Certain types of advertising are allowed on a group by group basis (such as Flyers for MetalPact). Our primary concern is spam, share and win junk posts, unauthorized advertising of Facebook Groups or Pages, and unauthorized advertising of any social media links for that matter (Snapchats, Instagram, etc).

  • First Offense: Varies from Post Approval to Removal, based upon severity of the offense. 
  • Second Offense: Removal from all Groups, Chats, and Pages we operate or are affiliated with.

Don't PM or send a Friend Request to another member without first obtaining permission publicly - either from the comments or a chat. Message the Team Evil Page to report violators with a screenshot.

6. No Sniveling in Posts/Comments
If you don't like a decision made by our moderators and admins, raise the issue via message to the Team Evil Page. Whining in a post or comments is grounds for removal from all of our groups.
