Re: Faldon Rules

Faldon rules :

1) No cheating of any kind will be tolerated.
2) AFK macroing is cheating.
3) Spamming the status box is illegal. Keep it clean, GM's announce stuff there.
4) Keep offensive language out of the public chats.

6) GM's do not give/loan items. Do not ask for them to do so.
7) If a GM tells you not to do something they find 'illegal' ... Listen.

For clarity I would just like to say (for those interested enough to read this, most of this is implied with Lothar said actually, but not mentioned specifically by him to keep the rules brief.. Im just trying to idiotproof things.):
- Macroing whilst looking at your screen, at keyboard with the ability to respond to either tells or says are quite alright.
- Spamming the status box includes, but is not limited to, 'repping'.
- For the public chats: Not only should one refrain from using offensive language, but some common courtesy is also expected... Do not spoil, do not spam, do not hold extensive conversations in a language other than English (bcast and yell specifically), DO NOT OVERUSE CAPITALIZATION.
- Password security includes but isn't limited to, refraining from sharing your character passwords, refraining from sharing your account password, refraining from sharing your account name, ensuring the security of your e-mail addresses (dont share, and make sure the pw retrieval for your email cant be abused, otherwise the Faldon pw retrieval can also be abused) ensuring you use Faldon only in a secure environment, on a machine you trust. (That means, no viruses, worms, trojans etc, no hardware or software keyloggers installed etc.)
- Having a stupidly easy password such as your first name, your date of birth, your character name, 'hello', 'qwerty' etc. is equivalent to sharing in the point above this one.
- GMs are as honest as God and cannot be bribed. (Well, with the exception of this one shady GM I noticed named Crovmon wink)
