GRAAL 2001
PERSONAL CONDUCT POLICY
Swearing and vulgarity is a sign of immaturity. It is not an expression of free speech; however even if it was, the Graal Online server is not public property. As much as many kids would like to believe that vulgarity is a part of everyday life, most people eventually grow up and give it up.
The administrators of Graal Online will not be responsible for corrupting of young minds. We know that sounds harsh, but the way Graal is right now: the longer you play, the meaner you get. The vulgarity and harassment is so out of hand that if you spend enough time online you are bound to be influenced by it. Furthermore, this graalian attitude is ruining the game for mature players. Respectable people don't want to play Graal, because Graal is filled with disrespectful people.
The Graal game engine has only gotten better; while the quality of game play has continued to decline. Think back to the days when you started playing graal (assuming you started pre 1.1). A newbie was welcomed into the game world by nice people who were fun to be with. How are newbies welcomed today? At sword point.
We are aware that we will lose some players, but we will only lose players who cannot control themselves. These kinds of players are the trouble-makers anyway. They have nothing good to say about Graal, nor the administrators, nor any of the players. If these people left the game, it would make the game more attractive to a more mature audience. Even players who don't like the new rules can learn to control themselves.
POLICIES [UPDATED!]
The GraalOnline Server is available to players of all ages. In order to keep the environment open to all, the following restrictions have been placed on online activity:
You may not use vile or profane language online. This also covers the use of toall messages and Private Messages (PM).
You may not use sexually explicit language online.
Unwanted suggestions of a sexual nature are considered sexual harassment. This is illegal in the United States, and not allowed on our server.
Racial intolerance is not allowed. [NEW!]
You may not verbally assault other players. Due to the nature of the game and the fact that there's often nothing better to do, Player Killing (PK) is currently allowed.
You may not promote anything explicit or vulgar online. This includes, but is not limited to, sharing URLs with others to websites that contain profanity, nudity, or anything else that violates the GraalOnline personal conduct policy.
If you violate any of the profanity rules:
You will be given 2 warnings using the RC administrator messages.
If it happens a third time, you will lose a fullheart or be banned for 24 hours.
If the GP decides to take away a fullheart, it will not be given back.
If the GP gives you a 24 hour ban, you must email the GP who banned you in order to have your account reinstated. If you are vulgar or threatening in the email, he/she may leave your account banned for as long as he/she sees fit.
If you swear at a GP or threaten a GP after being warned, you will be banned permanently.
If you violate any of the sexual conduct or racial intolerance rules:
First offense will result in being jailed for 24 hours.
You must email the GP who jailed you in order to have your account reinstated. If you are vulgar or threatening in the email, he/she may leave your account jailed for as long as he/she sees fit.
