People of Arda,
 
This is a reminder that this is a game, intended to cause you fun and
general merriment. It is also a fantasy setting that is intended to help
you get temporary relief from the real world. When you cross the line of
fantasy and start causing real people real stress and anguish with your
comments, you have disrespected not only our players, but the atmosphere
of The Two Towers. 
 
Lately, I have seen some comm. messages that have been addressed to
individuals going through tough, real life issues. Some of these comm.
messages have poked fun, some have been hateful. Neither have a place in
this game. Under the rules, I will deem these types of messages as
hateful, and will deal with them accordingly. I say this not because we
want to protect individuals, but we want to protect this game. 
 
It is ok to make fun of characters, joke around, and even hack them with
swords (fines apply in some areas). It is not ok to take it to real life,
where your words can be just as hurtful as swords.
