Title: New Rules
LightningFlash - April 6, 2006 08:17 AM (GMT)
At the request of a member, I have had to add a new rule.
Do not bash or discriminate against other members' character or 'shipping preferences, nor the members themselves.
It's rather sad that this rule is even required, but there you go. This behaviour is unacceptable, and will get you suspended and/or banned.

Drac rule Flash. B) So no bashing Moordryd? Ok.....but then they can't bash Artha! Right? And can i ask a question? What exactly does 'shippin mean? Does it have something to do with the A/K and P/K?

Yes. 'Shipping (Short for something like relationships, I believe.) is the pairing preferences of somebody. I have none, for the moment, though Kitt and Parm might make a nice couple... :P

No, it's don't bash members' preferences. If you don't like Artha that's fine, and it's also fine to say why (when done politely.) Same goes for any other character or 'ship.
But saying a member is stupid because they like a certain character, or saying a character is stupid because a certain member likes them, on the other hand, is very wrong.
And yes, 'ship(ing) is short for relationship.

It's been put up because a member asked, and because I felt it was required.

Hunter, dude, I hate to tell you this, but as long as everybody has a very, very strong opinion, then he will be dissed. So will Moordryd, Parm, Kitt, Word, Conner, etc, etc, yata yata yata.
If you love Artha that much, then do what Kitt NEVER did so far...stick up for your bishie! :)

1st, i do defend him. 2nd,........*grabs club and stalks Skylii. Only to be stopped by Flash then runs away back to Artha*
Just in case you don't know, i'm a girl. :P But it's ok. When you call someone Dude, it just means your referring to the person.......why did i bring that up? :blink: *scatches head* :P

Good rule LF! I think that rule was definetly needed and I bet it will keep the discrimination to a manageable level! :)

Have you been checking the
rules regularly? New rules have been added.
