Posting RL info WTF?

[Gimp]

So a kid that sounds like a 7th grader made fun of you? Big deal. Some people take this Internet thing entirely too seriously.

It's not that he made fun of him, it's that he dragged a shitload of info about his actual life onto these boards. It's horrible and immature that these people can justify their reasoning in doing this, and if anyone needs to be reprimanded it's them and not Gaffin. (Which in the case of Reapin came true.)

Personal Attacks/Forum Rules

Stupid posts, lies, and drama are scaring away new players.

Just imagine if the first place they stop is the webpage?

Forums will be moderated.

Your posts will be moved or deleted if they are not in the correct section.

This first installment regards personal attacks.

Rants and Flames is the home for bitching.

Do not make non-consensual personal attacks against anyone affiliated with this project. (Some of you like fighting with each other; I have no problem with this. Do it privately.) If you feel it is necessary to make a post, make sure it is contained within Rants and Flames. NEVER make a personal attack against a developer or GM staff, or you will be suspended. The GMs will follow the same non-personal attack policy. Its my job to protect both the GMs as well as the players. Play nice. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks do not help make a point; they only hurt the community and deter users from helping to create a great classic server. Derogatory comments about another user may be removed by any editor. Repeated or egregious personal attacks will lead to suspensions and bans.

If you are more of a nuisance than what you're worth, your forum privileges will be revoked.

The prohibition against personal attacks applies equally to all forum-goers. It is as unacceptable to attack a user with a history of foolish or boorish behavior, or even one who has been subject to disciplinary action, as it is to attack any other user. People make mistakes, but they are encouraged to learn from them and change their ways. Personal attacks are contrary to this spirit and damaging to the work of running this server.There is no rule that is objective and not open to interpretation on what constitutes a personal attack as opposed to constructive discussion, but some types of comments are absolutely never acceptable:

-Racial, sexual, homophobic, ageist, religious, political, ethnic, or other epithets (such as against people with disabilities) are not allowed. Disagreement over what constitutes a religion, race, sexual preference, or ethnicity is not a legitimate excuse.

-Using someone's affiliations as an ad hominem means of dismissing or discrediting their views—regardless of whether said affiliations are mainstream. Note that although pointing out an poster's relevant conflict of interest and its relevance to the discussion at hand is not considered a personal attack, speculating on the real life identity of another editor may constitute outing, which is a serious offense.

-Linking to external attacks, harassment, or other material, for the purpose of attacking another editor.

-Accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence. Serious accusations require serious evidence.
-Threats, including:
Threats of legal action
Threats of violence or other off-forum action
Threats of vandalism to any webpage
Threats or actions which deliberately expose other users to political, religious or other persecution by government, their employer or any others. Violations of this sort may result in a ban for an extended period of time, which may be applied immediately by any moderator upon discovery.
