Sometimes people can write something that you may find offensive. Before launching into a public condemnation though, please consider that the person may not have intended to cause offence.

Links to relevant sources are encouraged, for instance when posting about an event in the news you may include the link to the news site you found the information. Links that are off topic may be deleted and links to sites of an inappropriate nature WILL be deleted.

What is a troll? Its a person who posts something which is bound to stir people up and then sits back and watches as dozens of people jump in and start arguing. Sometimes trolls get their friends to join in or post under different names. Generally they will do anything it takes to get attention. If you see a message like this, please try and refrain from replying to it - it may well be deleted anyway.

Flaming, in the most common sense definition, is saying something negative in an attempt to get a more negative response. This is completely and totally unacceptable. It will not be tolerated. Never resort to personal insults, never extend a debate beyond the topic on hand needlessly, and try to avoid patronizing language.

Please refrain from attacking admins and moderators. If you have a real concern or an issue you would like to address please contact Admin.

Ghosting is where another player gains an unfair advantage over other game players by having information relayed to them via a 3rd party that is either ingame spectating or is playing on a pc locally and within range for the other player to gain a tactical advantage from the other players game machine, by seeing the other game machines screen and player movements, or by hearing information via an audio chat communication like teamspeak, ventrillo, msn or other software. Ghosting will result in a ban for players that relay information they are not supposed to and for those that take advantage of information given to them from a 3rd party.
