We, the staff, have just implemented a fresher set of forum rules.
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1
All based around the Golden Rule: "Be excellent to one another, don't be annoying"
We did this to simplify the reasons for warning/banning, giving us more time to work on community events and the like. This system has been implemented in the IRC channel #AoS for a while now, we like it there so we are transferring it here. Those found to be stretching the rules will be dealt with harshly, we want a constructive attitude amongst the players and forum go-ers here, not one of putting others down.
Also note, that this is to further combine actions on AoS IRC channels with actions on the forums.
