Forums vs Gossip

[Torque]

I want to bring this up to make is plain as day.

"1. Be polite. Or at least civil. Remember that tone is hard to judge on the internet, so if you are not sure if what you post will sound offensive, err on the side of caution. Trolling or inciting flame wars may result in deletions, lockings, or bannings. "

That's rule numero uno on the forums. However, forums are not gossip, and if my 5 second memory serves me, gossip's rules are only no racial slurs (pvp).

I'm pretty bad about this rule as well, but now that I've read it, it is so entirely easy to follow, and you have to be asking for it if you can't.

The reason I bring this up is because I'm sick of seeing arrogance and filth on these forums. Man up and be productive, instead of negative ****head. Thanks!

can we get an update of the rules kuz apparantly they arent very clear as several people have been suspended for stuff that isnt listed in your post.

Forum rules? Sure, there's a whole thread created for them. I listed just #1. 

You want my opinion, because your request obviously has some tongue-in-cheek nature to it. Okay.

Tact. Look up that definition and apply it. Whining, sniveling, griping are all things that make you look like a tool, like wearing 'GaNgStA' tattoos to a job interview. Quit being like that. Be tactful.

Be tactful. You can disagree heavily (with proper reasoning or examples), as long as you show tact. Sick of all these neanderthal whiners, grow up

still doesnt really state suspension, i thought this was pvp man, not the non pvp realm, trash talk is part of the game/fun.

Are you really this thick?  It's not rocket science man.  You don't see me stopping the players from trash talking.  You see me stopping the people who log on for the sole purpose of trolling the realm.  That would be you and the PTrolls if you didn't pick up on that.

You dont have any idea what my purpose is. I log in here to keep in touch with whats going on with greatermud. And talk shit to old enemies for fun. Have some respect for the few mudders left that take their time to log and even express their opinion. You act like this game is off the charts with popularity and u have money comin out of ur pocket of some shit.
