No Slander
Treat others in your messages as you would like to be treated yourself. Insults, language or anything offensive will be moved to the bonfire. Personal attacks are prohibited. This specifically means any text/post that is blatantly attacking another person on or off the forum, especially in a personal way. There is never an excuse for using insults in a mature conversation, and it has no place on a community forum.
How do I know if I am slandering?
Any post that directs personal hate at another through insulting words is considered slander. A few examples will be listed below to help explain this rule properly:
Poster: I never deal with that psycho; he’s an idiot and a loser and should be banned from the community.
This line is considered slander as it directs offensive remarks at an individual; a better, realistically phrased remark that promotes mature conversation would be something along these lines:
Poster: I have had some very bad experiences with him; I wouldn’t deal with him again personally.
Here is another example:
Poster: Why do you keep posting here? You spread lies and bull, along with your friends and guild, go cry more jerk?
In cases like this, you should probably refrain from posting if you have nothing nice to say or to contribute to the conversation. Remember this is a community board and you must uphold standards of mature conversation and criticism.
Moderator Action: Removal of post(s) to the bonfire, alongside a warning or temporary/permanent ban if the slander falls within the “Illegal Content” rule. Repeat offenders may be temporarily/permanently banned after review by the moderation team.
