RULES OF CONDUCT


Introduction

There will still be a few specific guidelines, which follow

  1. No hacking
  2. No flooding (flooding: Filling the chat window.)
  3. No ALL CAPS TALKING ALL THE TIME OMG (it's annoying.)
  4. The mods word is final, don't argue.
  5. No pornographic avatars (there's no way to hide someone's avatar image on the user side.)

Nice and simple, eh?
The guiding philosophy of these rules is this: People can, and will, say whatever they want. That is one of the most important principles of freedom in the modern world: The right to say what you believe.
The other side of that freedom is the responsibility to yourself, the responsibility to control your own emotions, whether or not you take offense to what someone says. If you disagree with something, you can still resist the urge to take offense. If someone says something cruel to you, you can take no offense and therefore grant that person's statement no power over you.
That makes life tougher, but definitely much better if you enjoy freedom. If you want thought police or someone to slap you on the wrist when you say something someone doesn't agree with, you should go somewhere else.
DOESN'T WORK. Tried it. Doesn't work, too many people getting pissed off by one or two people. In a cyber world where you can't smash a mouth in, that just sucks. SO. NEW RULE!

DON'T BE A DICK.


Being a dick gets you banned.


So don't do it. You don't have to be nice, but don't go out of your way to... YES, be a dick.
And, of course...

Sexual predators will be found, castrated, and killed.
