Rules of Conduct
- The Rules of Conduct document is being worked on by Dwarden and Selvarian. Draft should be ready soon. It will be posted in the Moderator's Forum for comment and final editing before submission to Faustus.
- Concerns were raised about Rules of Conduct making the community appear "uninviting". Discussion? This may have more to do with presentation, something which is being addressed with the draft Rules of Conduct being prepared.
- Rules of Conduct generally serve two purposes: to let participants know where the boundaries are (boundaries like an imaginary line, rather than a brick wall) and to serve as a guide for moderators to know when player behaviour exceeds those bounds. Once established and published, all users can be expected to follow them from day one; as such, immediate reprimands are justified as no one can claim ignorance of the rules.
- Rules of Conduct also serve to eliminate assumptions and ambiguities in what is acceptable/unacceptable behaviour in the context of the particular venue (forum, chat room, in-game, et cetera).
