I'm all for official rules of conduct for respecting other players, but since when do we give a square fuck about swearing? Granted that it's not used with the intention of harrassing other players or spamming to ruin games, which are rules you have already covered. I don't see a problem with swearing.

Just don't troll. If you're being purposefully and persistently antagonistic or contrarian in order to elicit a negative response from others, then you're trolling. It doesn't matter if you're 'technically' operating within the rules.

All other images that are unsafe for viewing at work or school should be marked NSFW (not safe for work) and LINKED as a URL. Do not post them as images under a spoiler, because images still load under spoilers and this can be a problem for people browsing at work or school.

If you see someone breaking the posted rules, use the report button to alert the moderators. A single, polite reminder that the offending poster has done something against the rules is fine, but don't take it upon yourself to admonish the offender or flip out about it for pages. You might even get in trouble for that! Please just use the report function and move on.

Piracy of music, games, software, or anything short of a spanish galleon is a bannable offense. This includes asking people for files or offering to distribute them off-board. This rule will be enforced; consider yourself very fortunate if you get a warning.

Inappropriate sexual comments, stalking or predatory behavior of any kind toward unwilling participants will not be tolerated. Same goes for any other type of harassment--if someone asks you to leave them alone, and you don't, you'll probably be banned.

The porn, piracy, and pedophillia aren't probably an issue here, so I don't care as much about them. I really like the trolling, racism/sexism, and respect policies though.
