Harrasment - The act of tormenting by continued persistent attacks and criticism.
3.1.3 Harassment
1. Players may not act in an overtly harassing manner towards other Players and staff.
Some amount of competitive language within the context of the game is acceptable for the conflict-oriented nature of the game itself, but direct personal attacks on other Players (rather than their game personas) will not be tolerated. Stalking and harassing other Players outside the context of the game is also forbidden.
2. Any form of hate-mongering behavior outside of the context of the game will absolutely not be tolerated.
PaleStar takes a dim view of those who seek to use the DarkSpace Game System and its Facilities to hurt others. As such, immediate and effective punitive measures will be taken with regard to the offender, most likely with little or no warning.
3. As in any Community, Players are expected to respect one another and the PaleStar/DarkSpace Staff at all times while participating in the game system and its facilities.
Showing blatant and repeated disrespect towards other Players or Staff members is grounds for punitive action, especially right after being warned about poor conduct. Also, Players are discouraged from initiating or participating in any out-of-game-context acts that negatively impact the gaming experience for any other Player.
4. The creation, organization, and/or participation of any squad, clan, or group within the DarkSpace Game System that is based on or otherwise promotes any out-of-game-context bias against any race, gender, religion, ethnic background, sexual orientation, or any other hate-mongering philosophy is expressly forbidden.
Simply put, using any real-world (non-fictional) contexts for the purpose of in-or-out-of-game bigotry, of ANY kind, is forbidden.
5. The use of the DarkSpace Communication Facilities to confuse other users is forbidden.
This includes using any means to "spoof" official game system messages and/or communications as well as utilizing special browser coding to make messages appear to come from another participant in the chat room or forums.
3.1.4 Proper Language
1. The use of overtly offensive, profane, sexually explicit, or abusive language, outside of any venue where it is explicitly permitted, is forbidden.
This includes any form of communication that is derogatory or obscene, including but not limited to biased comments based on gender, sexuality, age, race, ethnicity, or religion. This also includes Player and Clan names and is forbidden in all venues of the DarkSpace Communication System, including Clan Pages on the DarkSpace web site, official DarkSpace and PaleStar Forums, and the Chat Rooms, EXCEPT any specific ones where it is explicitly permitted. In addition, communicating links to material outside of the DarkSpace Game System with such content outside of the proper venue is forbidden.
2. The DarkSpace Game System may utilize language filters to reduce the obvious use of such language, but it should not be viewed as an excuse to use such language in the first place. Self censoring, character replacement, and alternate spellings are also not acceptable as the vulgar intent is still portrayed.
Abstinence is always the best policy. Very few people enjoy "gutter-gums", unless they go out of their way to find a venue where it is permitted/encouraged.
3. PaleStar will strive to maintain an environment for the general audience comprising all Players where such content is minimized.
However, the risk of exposure to content that is offensive, indecent, or otherwise objectionable is still possible due to the unpredictable nature of human behavior and the fact that content is not (and, in many cases, can not be) screened prior to publishing. Repeating a statement made above: it is presumed that the majority of DarkSpace Players are mature enough to understand, appreciate, and adhere to these rules, so that the use of individual self-restraint will obviate the need for cumbersome and inefficient technical solutions to behavioral issues.
3.1.1 General
1. DarkSpace is a community.
DarkSpace is more than simply a multi Player game; it is a Community of people who have come together for the purpose of mutual entertainment. As such, acknowledgement of this simple truth and its implications is of paramount importance for all to get the most enjoyment out of their participation in the Community.
2. Rules of Conduct in the DarkSpace Community are, as in any community, necessary.
Rules of Conduct generally serve two purposes: to let participants know where the boundaries are (boundaries like an imaginary line, rather than a brick wall) and to serve as a guide for moderators to know when Player behavior exceeds those bounds. Once established and published, all users are expected to follow them from day one; as such, immediate reprimands are justified as no one can claim ignorance of the rules. Rules of Conduct also serve to eliminate assumptions and ambiguities in what is acceptable/unacceptable behavior in the context of the particular venue (forum, chat room, in-game, et cetera).
3. Out-of-Game, we are all human and we all still make mistakes.
In all cases, both Players and Staff should realize and accept this simple truth. All participants are asked to be vigilant in policing their own conduct while giving due consideration to this simple fact of life. After all, gaming is all about entertainment. When it ceases to be entertaining, it is time to "turn it off" and do something else.
4. All Players should adhere to the Code of Sportsmanship.
As a game involving more than one Player, all Players should abide by this prime rule: Be honest and fair to one another at all times; win well and lose well; and always keep in mind that it IS just a game. Have fun and share it.
This is a Post for all of those who basicaly refuse to read the Rules Of Conduct. I've decided to post parts of the Rules Of Conduct that I feel are more important, mostly due to recent events, and are needed for players to know.

Its just a lot easier to copy paste the sections you want others to see instead of going through and adding in other things there Six. Nuff said on this subject.

and even if you suspect the excepts to be edited, you could still read the roc yourself, and be sure of its accuracy
