Terms of Service
1. What paws.ms is
paws.ms is a community site for members of the Paws MapleStory guild (GMS Kronos). It is run by Murds and volunteer guild administrators, free of charge. It offers member profiles, culvert and EXP leaderboards, a watch-party list and calendar, a yearbook, and Friday Questions.
2. Who can use it
You sign in with your Discord account. Full access requires being an active member of the Paws Guild in the members list kept by the administrators (Paws or Pawps). People with the Guest or Friends role in the Discord can use the watch-party features only. Because Discord requires its users to be at least 13 years old, so does this site.
Access ends when you leave the Paws Discord, lose the relevant role, or an administrator deactivates your membership. Administrators may also revoke access for breaking these terms.
3. Your content
You keep ownership of what you post here: your bio, watch suggestions, Friday Question suggestions, and the details on your profile. By posting it you allow paws.ms to show it to other signed-in members and to include it in yearbook snapshots, which are frozen copies kept as a record of the guild at a point in time.
Keep it friendly. Administrators may edit or remove content that is offensive, misleading, or unrelated to the community, and may correct scores or profile details that are wrong.
4. Acceptable use
- Only sign in as yourself. Do not try to view, change, or delete another member's data.
- Do not submit false culvert scores or impersonate other players.
- Do not scrape the site, hammer it with automated requests, or probe it for weaknesses. The guild's own Discord bot is the only automated client.
- Do not use the site to harass anyone or to post content that breaks Discord's or Nexon's rules.
5. Game data from Nexon
Character levels, EXP, rankings, and character images come from Nexon's public MapleStory ranking API, looked up by in-game name. paws.ms does not control that data. It can be delayed, incomplete, or wrong, and rankings may be missing for characters that are not ranked.
6. No warranty
The site is provided as-is by volunteers. There is no promise that it will always be available, that data will never be lost, or that it is free of errors. To the extent the law allows, the people running paws.ms are not liable for any loss arising from your use of it. Leaderboards and scores are for fun and guild bookkeeping, not anything official.
7. Changes
These terms may change as the site changes. Meaningful changes will be announced in the Paws Discord, and the effective date above will be updated. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
8. Privacy
How your data is handled is described in the Privacy Policy.
