Basic sign rules

• Signs need to be attached to something and cannot just float in mid-air.
  • Signs must be on a prop, like a crate, barrel or wagon, or a building or wall where that applies.
  • Do not place signs on wooden boards, haystacks, plants, fire hydrants, walls next to the shop, or anything that does not make sense for shops. A good rule of thumb: could this realistically hold items to sell?
  • If not, kindly tell the person their shop location does not meet the guidelines. Less hassle, and they will not need to pay again for a new sign.
  • Signs should not be placed on doors that can open.
  • Never place a sign out of reach of newspaper staff.
  • Floating signs: log them in #deleted-signs and delete them.
  • Walk around a sign before you place it. They can look attached head on and be floating from the side. Happy with it from every angle, then place it.
• Signs must be era appropriate and cannot break server rules.
  • Troll signs may get you removed from the society.
  • Not allowed: "Diddy's Trap House", ERP related signs, slurs, and the like.
• Signs must not be too long, wide or large. Use common sense, nothing loud or obnoxious.
  • The sign has to fit on the object it is placed on.
  • Do not put single items on their own lines unless the item is very long.
  • Do not double space lines unless you have to.
  • Signs with shapes are not allowed.
• A sign that breaks the rules: log it in #deleted-signs and delete it.
  • Do not remove or edit society signs unless the owner asks. If a society sign breaks the guidelines, tell the heads or open a ticket.

Player stores

• For single player shops the sign goes on the shop itself. Not behind it, not next to it, not on an adjacent wall.
  • A sign that is not on the object the shop is attached to counts as improperly placed.
  • Even if they ask you to put it elsewhere, say no. A happy customer is the goal, but not at the risk of a strike for a pattern of it.
• Up to eight items only, four buying and four selling.
  • "And more" counts as an item.
  • Food and drink count as two.
  • Avoid book page signs. Point anyone wanting more at the pinboard.
• One sign per player owned store, camps included.
  • If the store is hidden and needs a second sign to direct people to it, take the person's P.O. and open a ticket for the Heads to approve.
  • A player claiming a whole MLO is still one sign only.
  • No signs outside on MLO windows. Inside, on the shop itself.
• No signs for shops that have not been placed yet. Spots cannot be held.

Societies

• Societies, meaning saloons, gunsmiths, stables and the like, may have more than one sign.
  • Only ONE "No Shops" sign each.
  • A "No Shops" sign goes beside an entrance, not off to the side or round the back. No usable door on that side means the society has no control of the shops there.
• An employee list may show up to four names and the business P.O.
  • The owner is one of the four and must be on it.
  • One employee list per business.
• Signs listing several businesses in town, usually at the mayoral offices, are no longer allowed.
• Deleting a society sign for a rule break is for the Heads. If the owner asks, you can delete it. Otherwise open a ticket.

Camps and houses

• "No Trespassing" and "Private Property" signs are not allowed.
  • Delete any "No Trespassing" sign you find.
  • "Private Property" signs may be left up.
• Walk in homes may have several signs. TP homes may have one, since a TP homeowner owns the door and nothing more.
• A sign on someone's property needs the owner's permission. If you were lied to, go back and remove it.

Special signs

• Claimed or reserved grave signs in towns are Senior and above only, and need approval from the Heads.
  • A grave sign in a public cemetery is $7500. The price is not negotiable.
  • Anyone wanting one should P.O. the newspaper to arrange a meeting with a Senior or above.
  • A grave on private property, a house or a camp, needs no approval and is charged the normal sign price.
• RP signage, blood stains, carvings, notes and so on, goes on private property or out of town limits in open areas only.
  • Three lines at most.
  • Temporary. Go back and remove it after about a week.
• No signs in public RP spots.
