Since a lot of players do not seem to understand what is banable and what is not, I feel I should re-emphasise the new and updated rules.

Previously it has worked as follows:

Swearing/abusive/offending language anywhere in game (includes clan chat, friend chat etc) has been reportable to staff and varying punishments have been given depending on the severity of the crime.

I have revised the rules based on the addition of the /ignorepc feature (blocks their entire pc from communicating to the account you are currently using) as follows:

If someone is annoying you in any way, this is how you are recommended to deal with it:

Pages - /ignorepc the offending user, do not report it to staff.
Clan chat - report it to your founder who can remove them from the clan, or alternatively, you can leave the clan. /ignorepc can be used here, but I would find it odd that you would want to /ignorepc your clan mates.
Friend/enemy chat - take them off your list
General room chat - /ignorepc is an option here, but since it is public, it is recommended that you report it to staff.

What is reportable from general chat?

The odd swear words although undesirable is no longer a reportable offence, more than 1-2 offensive words in an hour would however deem you to be classed as an “annoying player”. Other forms of annoyance include harassment of other players, scrolling, spamming, and generally being an anti-social player. If you are on the game just to be anti-social, then you will likely find yourself removed from the game for this. Using other letters to try and hide swearing does not count, it is still offensive.
It is now an offence to be anti-social in the game. As an example, if you page someone for help with something, and they reply with a load of swear words, that would be classed as anti-social as opposed to the above mentioned rule of “/ignorepc anyone for anything with pages” - although that is still an option for you.
Theft in any way is also classed as anti-social behaviour, the bigger the crime, the more “points” of 'anti-socialness' you have on your account.

Anti-social behaviour should be reported to staff who will keep a log of it. Persistent anti-social behaviour will be banable for a length determined by admin.
To put it clearly, this also includes stupidity towards other players.

So basically, any persistent playing of the game that is not polite/sensible can get you banned.

The mosh system:

If a staff replies to your request for a mosh with the answer “no”, then do not attempt to negotiate it, the staffer’s response is final. If the staffer wants to run a mosh, they can run any type of mosh they want.
If you really want a mosh that badly, you may pay 50k for a custom mosh of your complete specification (5x5 or 3x3x3, noalts, class/clan restrictions, gold pot).

I would just like to add a few extra points to the rules on moshes...

Even if you have 50,000 gold, staff may no to a mosh request if too many moshes have been run already.

And my personal rule, which I feel is a fair one... if I say yes to a paid mosh and you want your mosh to have a prize, you have to give me the item in question before the mosh starts; we can't have any old item as a prize after all! Prizes can be any reasonable item (I might say no if you give me a Rabbit Fur!) or a Gold Money Order (you can give me the equivalent in gold coins, but it has to be 1000, 5000, 10000, 25000, 100000 or 500000 pieces exactly).
