In order to ensure good relationship amongst mortals the wizards of Icesus have decided that players are to behave properly when interacting on public channels. The channel behavior is monitored by the wizards of Icesus and also special channel operators, whom are mortals. The rules exist so that individual players can enjoy their mudding without getting publicly harassed or spammed. (These rules don't apply to private channels.) Things you shouldn't do on public channels: o spam o insult anyone personally o speak any other language besides English (language channels, such as swe-channel, are an exception) o share specific information relating Icesus game world (read 'help sharing information') o type in capital letters, also known as 'caps' o ignore the channel topic o type any trivial, meaningless crap o do not try to act as an operator, leave channel monitoring to real channel operators Examples of prohibited channel messages: 'Belannaer <chat>: OMGXIITLOL' -> caps and useless crap 'Adw [ice]: hohooo aika paska homma taas!' -> finnish 'Arga {newbie}: fuck you Belannaer!' -> personal insult Using prohibited channel messages may lead to getting banned by a wizard or channel operator. Breaking the rules constantly will lead to longer bans, the norm for bans being 1-3 days, but bans ranging from 1 month to a full year have taken place. If in any case you feel like you have been wrongly punished by a mortal channel operator you can always mail a log of the event to some active wizard and explain what happened, Belannaer being the most suitable one to contact.
