Water Seven Community respects and abides to its Code of Ethics derived from the values and principles the community hold on to. Expressions and conducts intentionally done to demonstrate a protest or abhorrence to the Code of Ethics will never be tolerated especially inside the community, or even outside of our server.
1. Be honest.
Learn to accept any faults you have done, whether intentional or not. Don't lie to the community. Please make sure that the information you are presenting to Water Seven are true and correct.
2. Be humorous.
You don't have to become a Charlie Chaplin to be able to tell a joke.
3. Be humble.
Water Seven accepts you as a community member and as a friend. But don't ever forget to always remain humble. Please don't act as if you are the owner of this forum and you own the community. Even friends have to respect each other, or friendship will just fade away.
4. Be kind.
Learn how to become courteous and helpful to others. Disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour or personal attacks. Water Seven does not want a community where people feel uncomfortable with each other. When someone asks for help, please politely make a polite suggestion. When you disagree with other's opinion or decision, please do so politely. When something seems outrageous, check that you did not misinterpret it. Ask for clarification, but do not assume the worst. When people tell a joke, don't cry.
5. Be self-disciplined.
Water Seven members must be self-disciplined members regardless of their different ages. Water Seven creates rules and regulations for the members to follow, but members are expected to perform good manners and right conducts even when there is no explicit rule about it.
Account Inspections
In addition to cron programs that regularly detect and locate malicious accounts, Water Seven Community Administrators also conduct random checking in an irregular basis to confirm that none of our members are violating our web hosting policy and our community laws of conduct, and at the same time, to verify that none of our members possess possible trojan horses lurking in our servers. In order to avoid miscommunications and misinterpretations between account users and account inspectors, it is the duty of all members to promptly report to Water Seven the necessary information about their accounts. These duties and information include but are not limited to the following:
1. Reporting account's database.
Water Seven offers unlimited creation and use of database, but all members are required to report to the System Administrators all the database they have created and the purpose of each database.
2. Reporting account's awstats.
Water Seven needs to know how intense the server traffic is, and to be able to grasp how much congestion the server may possibly get in a single instant in order to predict worst cases where its cpus will have a shortage in resources. This will serve as a reference in deciding whether to stop accepting further account applications or to purchase additional hardware to meet the further needs.
3. Reporting account's advertisements.
Water Seven does not recommend any form of advertisements to be placed in its member's site. Members are required to report whether they are displaying any form of advertisements in their account. Accounts having advertisements displayed must purchase the VIP Account subscription, which costs $7.77 USD per year, or maintain a minimum of 7 posts inside the community forum every month.
4. Reporting account's commercial use.
Water Seven does not recommend the use of its free server for commercial purposes, this includes offering services for a price, any form of trade, and any form of selling items. Members are required to report any commercial use of their account. Accounts being used for commercial purposes must purchase the VIP Account subscription, which costs $7.77 USD per year, or maintain a minimum of 7 posts inside the community forum every month.
5. Keeping the account's contact information updated.
Water Seven members are required to keep their contact information in their cpanel accounts and forum accounts updated. The use of email accounts that are set to auto-respond are not allowed.
6. Keeping informed about new and revised policies.
Water Seven members are required to visit the community website and forum to learn about new policies or changes to rules made. These are most of the time announced in the community forums. Members who failed to understand and follow instructions in these announcements simply because they can not understand the English Language will have their accounts terminated.

Thus, we constantly innovate and delivers drastical solutions if necessary to fulfill our community goals, missions and visions, with total dedication to our honored values.

In a sense that we are always searching for the best answers, we continuously learn from our mistakes and we put value in constructive criticisms. We strongly believe that all of us in the community deserve to experience an even better, if not the best, services in every next tick of the clock.
