Note 52 Osse (08/23/22 08:26) Public Channel Propriety This is a reminder from the admin of our expectations regarding behavior on this game, particularly on public mudwide forums such as the comm, gossiper, auction house, etc. During times of increased hostility, such as intra-guild conflicts, it is natural that there would be more verbal sparring. We try to be lenient in terms of allowing an appropriate amount of this as these conflicts play out, while remaining mindful of our rules against harassment. However, due to recent events we feel it necessary to remind all players in the strongest possible terms that it is not appropriate to bring matters involving the real-life typists behind the characters into this verbal sparring. Comments, criticisms or jokes that could be interpreted as charged in terms of race, gender, sexual orientation, physical/mental disabilities and other key RL traits are never acceptable. We ask that all players, and particularly those that use the comm and are potentially engaged in guild hostilities, exercise EXTREME caution in this regard. Know that we, the admin, take such things very seriously, and that official warnings, and if appropriate more severe punishments, will be enacted. Do not try to test these limits. Osse On behalf of the Powers
