I have written up a post that will hopefully help explain to you just what is acceptable and what isn't.
For the sake of me following my own rules I would like you to regard the word 'apple' as a swear word.
------
(1) Flaming !
To demonstrate what is illegal and what isn't I shall use examples. Everything illegal will be placed in bold.
"MP is by far a better player than you ShedsFTW. Not only does he have a much higher ODA than you, but he also has a life unlike you, you sad little geek. He's been dominating K45 for weeks now and he's showing you up you apple sucking mongoose! "
As you can see, the statement quickly degenerates into a personal insult. Not only did the author swear (remember... apples) but they also used a real life issue.
"Not only have I beaten you to no.1, defeated you in battle several times, backtimed you, sniped your pathetic trains and over taken you in the OD rankings i've also been appling your mum."
Pretty obvious...
And now for my grand finale. Thought the others were lame? Wait till you see what earned me an infraction :icon_cry:
"I have to say i'm impressed by this survey. I didn't think you was capable of creating something factual. You have out done yourself.
Congrats!!"
Now, I was infracted for "openly flaming someone on the forum for no reason." Although I will not infract for minor insults like this in a strongly debated thread I will infract do so if there is absolutely no call for the insult.
(2) I Be The Sheriff Of This Here Town !
Although I am yet to see this kind of behavior I believe it is worth noting that I will infract if you start impersonating me or my kins men. I am here to keep the forums clean and friendly.
There will be times though where I will not be online to catch the trouble makers. Therefore I ask that if ever an argument escalates out of proportion you simply ignore it and do not post in said thread until I have cleaned it up.
I will infract if a person starts throwing their weight around or if they intentionally make things worse within the thread.
(3) Please Don't Feed The Trolls !
Over the last week I have received several emails that all seem to follow the same format.
"Why have you infracted me and not [Insert Troll Name]?!?! He/She is obviously a troll and yet I don't see him/her banned!"
Err hello? The troll has as much right to post here as both you and me. Trolls get enjoyment out of causing arguments and flaming contests. If you want the trolls to vanish then add them to your ignore list.
By replying to a troll's post you are effectively 'Trolling' (couldn't think of the correct term :icon_confused.
(4) Let's Be Friends !
Just a quick one here. If I deem you an intelligent person (someone who actually knows the rules...) and you deliberately make a stupid thread or cause an argument with me, you will get infracted.
(5) Offtopic Posting !
Pretty self explanatory. I would rather you make a new topic and allow me to move to a few posts across than go completely off-topic. If you unintentionally go off topic then either delete your posts or apologize within the thread.
(6) Proper naming of topics !
If you ever get a spelling mistake within the title then i shall change it for you. If the spelling mistake is intentional then notify me so.
(7) Grammar/spelling flames !
Easy to understand.
(8) Extreme content !
In reference to this terms such as tool will no longer be accepted. I will do my best to keep this thread updated with what world 18 slang is and isn't allowed.
(9) Some Things You May Want To Read !

This shall be updated as time goes by and I remember more.

(1) Flaming !
Personal insults are not allowed anywhere in this forum or in any ‘other’ private format. Please make sure that all insults or “flames” are strictly game-related. Any Real Life (RL) related insults will be strictly punished.
To demonstrate what is illegal and what isn't I shall use examples. Everything illegal will be placed in bold.

Users are not allowed to impersonate moderators. Trying to act as one is forbidden and will lead to a warning.

(3) Please Don't Feed The Trolls !
Please do not feed the trolls and do not post in threads that are likely to be deleted. Posts like "In before lock" are forbidden.
Over the last week I have received several emails that all seem to follow the same format.

Players are also forbidden to provoke the moderators against them in a deliberate way. Posts made for the purpose of creating a personal conflict between users and staff will be deleted and their author will be punished severely.
Just a quick one here. If I deem you an intelligent person (someone who actually knows the rules...) and you deliberately make a stupid thread or cause an argument with me, you will get infracted.
(5) Offtopic Posting !
Please post answers/comments that are relevant and relate/refer to the thread topic. If you cannot post a sensible answer it is better to avoid saying anything. This is particularly true for one-word-posts like "lol" or "rofl". Please also try to avoid double posting wherever possible, there is an edit button for a reason
To avoid repetition of arguments especially in long discussions you should always read the whole topic before posting.
Pretty self explanatory. I would rather you make a new topic and allow me to move to a few posts across than go completely off-topic. If you unintentionally go off topic then either delete your posts or apologize within the thread.
(6) Proper naming of topics !
Please choose appropriate titles when creating a topic. Please avoid incomplete or attention seeking names as they are deemed unfavourable. Generalistic titles such as "question", "help", "lol" should also be avoided.
Please reread the text before posting it to avoid mistakes. Your text might be read by hundreds of players so make sure it is understandable.
Be economical with quotations! Quote only the relevant parts so that posts
won't get unnecessarily long.
If you ever get a spelling mistake within the title then i shall change it for you. If the spelling mistake is intentional then notify me so.
(7) Grammar/spelling flames !
It is not allowed to rebuke another user concerning his grammar/spelling. If the grammar/spelling of a user is that bad, that the content gets lost, you can use the "report post" feature to report the post. Then an admin or mod will deal with it.
Easy to understand.
(8) Extreme content !
Anything deemed politically extreme, pornographic, illegal, or unsavory in any way is prohibited in this game whether posted or referenced. Racist or ethnic bashing comments are forbidden even if used in jest. The same goes for Sexist Jokes and other examples of sexism. Mentioning drugs is allowed, but comments that play down the use of illegal drugs or promote the use of said substances are strictly forbidden. Please note that starring out characters like "A*"PPLE does not make it any less a swear word. it is still perfectly understandable and still intentionally offensive, and thus is forbidden in all forms. This is Similarly the case for Acronyms such as GTFO or STFU. the meanings are known, and depending on the context are again infractable offences.
In reference to this terms such as tool will no longer be accepted. I will do my best to keep this thread updated with what world 18 slang is and isn't allowed.
