I have added the following rules to the Rules for Playerworlds. These rules have been unanimously approved and agreed upon by the rest of the PWA.
Quote:
E. External Community
Third-party websites and forums which support the online community are permissible, but any third-party website that is advertised on the server (through NPC-Server PMs or otherwise) must enforce the following:- Behavior should be properly enforced as would be expected in-game.
- Visitors should be explicitly notified to use a unique password when creating an account.
- Passwords stored on the websites or databases should be hashed using cryptographically strong hash functions.
- Any websites may not be referred to as "official" in any way without express consent from GraalOnline.
- Websites should not contain questionable, illegal, graphic or adult content.
- Third-party Graal-related websites (and their legitimacy as third-party websites in relation to a server in question) are judged based purely on the opinion of the Playerworld Administration. This judgment shall usually be passed by identifying who created, runs, and/or pays for the website and/or by the name of the domain or website title and by how they are being advertised.

I have also modified the rule page to include the two following changes:
Quote:
- The words "server" and "playerworld" are used interchangeably herein and henceforth with exception of "Playerworld Administration" and Playerworlds plural.
|
and
Quote:
The Playerworld Administration will enforce each rule as is fit on a case-by-case basis. Disciplinary actions may vary between violations and other circumstances.
|
Furthermore, the following rule has been updated to reflect current technology available in Graal.
Quote:
B. Staff
...
12. All staff with RC access override players options to ignore mass messages (unless the server has been properly configured to disable this feature). These staff should restrict their massing only to important server information.

I have written this thread to keep users updated and aware of changes being made to the rules as mentioned in the rules:

To keep users aware of any amendments they will be posted in the GraalOnline communication center forums, under the section 'PlayerWorlds Main Forum'.
