I think discussion of bans should be allowed, but only to clarify what
the user did that was wrong so that others can have an understanding of
what the person did and why the persons actions are not allowed.

*Stefan: no alchohol advertising here (here meaning france)
I took 2 french classes and when we got to the parts discussing
culture it was mentioned that it is normal to see food-related
advertisements promote drinking wine. Drinking beverages containing
some alcohol seemed to be shown in just about every video shown in
class.

B) Alcohol/voilence rule.
Guys...take a look at graal, ok? Every single server revolves around either hacking each other's brains out with swords, or shooting each other with guns or bows, etc. Talking about violence...which none of us do...would be far less effective in promoting violence than the actual game itself, k?
Then take a look at the game some more. Just about every server has a bar/pub/inn it, and guess what the npcs give you? That's right, npc beer. There are bottles of alcohol on the damned TILESET, for goodness sake. Now, have you ever heard of a case where a player has seen any of this beer, etc, and said "wow, all this makes me want to go out and drink some in real life! Maybe it will restore my hearts so i can go PK down at the park!". I highly doubt you have, k. Graal shows alcohol on a regular basis, and it is harmless, and on the forums we rarely even talk about alcohol, much less promote it.
Thats funny.
