Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms", "Terms of Service") carefully before using the Fancon Junction website (the "Service") operated by Fancon Junction ("us", "we", or "our"). Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.
1. Accounts & Eligibility
When you create an account with us, you must provide information that is accurate, complete, and current at all times. Failure to do so constitutes a breach of the Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your account on our Service.
You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Service. You agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.
You must be at least 13 years of age to use this Service. For users between the ages of 13 and 18, specific safety features and restrictions apply, as detailed in our Privacy Policy.
2. Game & Gamification System
Our Service includes a rank and points system designed to reward positive community engagement. Points are earned by participating in site activities, such as liking content, attending events, and contributing to discussions. These points and the associated ranks are for entertainment and status purposes only and hold no monetary value.
The Service may also include an integrated web-based game. By playing the game, you agree to abide by all rules of conduct within the game. Virtual items, currency, or characters earned or purchased within the game have no real-world value and are licensed to you for your entertainment on the platform. We reserve the right to modify, manage, or eliminate virtual items and game features at our discretion.
Any attempt to abuse or manipulate the ranking or game systems may result in the removal of points, a reduction in rank, loss of virtual items, or other moderation action as deemed necessary.
3. Community Guidelines & Moderation
User Conduct
You agree not to use the Service for any purpose that is illegal or prohibited by these Terms. You are solely responsible for your conduct and any data, text, information, usernames, graphics, photos, profiles, audio and video clips, links ("Content") that you submit, post, and display on the Fancon Junction service. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:
- Harassing, abusing, threatening, or harming another person.

User Reporting and Moderation
Fancon Junction is a moderated community. To help us keep the platform safe, users can report any content or user profile that they believe violates our terms. All reports are sent to a moderation queue for review by our team of administrators and moderators. We will review reports and take appropriate action, which may include content removal, issuing a warning, or applying a strike to the offending account.
Advanced Ban System
We operate on a 5-strike system. A "strike" is issued to an account when a moderator confirms a valid report of a Terms of Service violation. If a report is not actioned by our moderation team within 7 days, it may be automatically approved and result in a strike.
- Strikes may result in **temporary bans** (e.g., a 24-hour suspension from posting) or other restrictions on your account's ability to post content.
- Upon receiving a **fifth (5th) strike**, your account will be **permanently banned** from the Service.
Appeals
You have the right to appeal any strike or ban issued against your account. **An appeal may only be submitted once per incident.** Our team will review the appeal and the circumstances of the moderation action and make a final determination. **If we deny the appeal, the decision is final, and the account will remain permanently locked or banned.** Abusing the appeal process may result in further action.
