Off Topic Forum BellaMorte
Step into the Off Topic Forum and on most days what do you see? I have talked to a lot of players that refuse to even use that forum. The Off Topic Forum should be a place that everyone should enjoy using. A lot of players are under the impression that it's a "free for all" and "anything goes" and has even been referred to as "Dumping Ground for Bootleggers". While the Off Topic Forum is supposed to be more laid back and intended for most things non game-related there are still rules and guidelines that need to be followed. One of the major issues is spam. Spam is not necessarily one topic made over and over again by the same person. It can be multiple or "groups" of topics made pointlessly by the same person(s) continuously. Often times people try to sell things as if the OTF is the Classifieds as well. Then there are still the rules as found in the Terms of Service:


Quote:
You agree to not use the Service to:
1. Upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable. When a user is reported doing so, appropriate measures will be taken. Verbally abusing players and staff is considered poor etiquette and measures can be taken without notice or explanation.



And sadly that applies to a great deal of posts made on the forum at any given time.

We want you to have a good time but we also want everyone else too as well. So think before you post and show a little respect. It won't kill you!
