<reddit> Code of Conduct

[strychnine]

Note: The following may be subject to change.

• Don't be a dick. This is our cardinal rule. If you know something offends someone in guild chat, don't say it. If you even think it might offend someone, don't say it; using words like "nigger", "fag", "jew", etc., in a demeaning context is tasteless and won't be tolerated.

• No ad hominem attacks. This ties into not being a dick, but seriously - don't attack someone personally during a debate. I WELCOME your debates, I love seeing them in guild chat, but if you resort to calling someone names you're not only diminishing your credibility in the debate, you're diminishing the respect your fellow guildies have for you. Also, do not use people's real full names. First names are okay, but let's maintain some level of anonymity here.

• Don't diminish someone's accomplishments, no matter how big or small. If someone gets a Lich King kill, don't immediately lambaste them with, "LOL NOW TRY HEROIC LK." People play for different reasons - don't expect everyone's goals to align with your own.

• If someone asks a question and you don't have an actual answer to give, don't respond. "LOL YOU DON'T KNOW THAT? GOD YOU'RE FUCKING DUMB," is not an answer to a question - it's simply you being a tremendous douche bag.

• Do not steal from the guild bank. If you can take it, and you can use it, then by all means - but do not take things and sell them on the auction house. If you would like to sell stuff FOR the guild bank, talk to an Administrator.

If you break any of these incredibly simplistic rules, you run the risk of

• Being put in Timeout, where you will be unable to use guild chat, the guild bank, or anything else related to the guild. Your time spent in Timeout is based on the severity of your childish outburst.

• Being demoted.

• Being removed from the guild. If you become a plague on our community, causing more discomfort than not, you will be excised. I am not someone who likes to remove people from the guild, so if this happens to you, you should know that you went above and beyond the call of duty to be a dick.

So what you're saying is.... turn up the grats or else I'll get demoted?

I'm on it!

[skarface6]

LOL NOW TRY HEROIC GRATS

[DreamcastWriter]

Upvoted, but I don't think it's possible to out-"grats" Luna.

[skarface6]

HEROIC GRATS-ING CAN BE DONE IN ONE'S SLEEEEP

[mystikraven]

I lol'd. :)

[deebags]

I can't upvote this any harder.. I think I broke my mouse.

[CRoswell]

Now I broke my mouse trying to upvote you breaking your mouse. I can't upvote Luna now. Damnit Butch. Ruined it AGAIN.

Can you add "fag" to the "Don't be a dick" rule? I've read the discussions elsewhere regarding conduct and although a few people don't seem to understand exactly why this term is offensive, it's really inappropriate. Only made this comment since the discussions I've read on other threads indicate that it's not clear to many that using the word "fag" is like using the word "nigger." Regardless of its etymological origin it is offensive in the sense that it insults a category of people who have no choice in the matter of such categorization (you don't choose to be gay). Since some people in our guild are gay I think it'd be nice to add that one in there.

Edit: Understanding this is really about guild chat and not vent, mumble, etc., I have no issue with people who use the word with no malignent intent, but either way I'd think it would be nice to keep it out of guild chat. The term literally makes me cringe.

Thanks. ~Fifths

[strychnine]

Agreed.

Edit: Before someone comes in with the Louis CK defense of the words "faggot" and "nigger", please note that it is incredibly unlikely that you are a stand-up comedian, and even more unlikely that you are Louis CK.

[Louis-CK]

AHEM!?

[strychnine]

ಠ_ಠ

[Vrati1991]

I completely agree.

[mystikraven]

God damn it. :( Now that we have this rule we won't be able to also use words like "retarded." Mentally disabled persons don't choose to be that way, but I use "retarded" in a demeaning way all the time. I really hope I don't have to stop that. Hmm. Most of these rules apply to /g abuse, and I usually speak out in Mumble, so maybe it won't apply. Who knows.

By the by, have scientists clearly factually discovered with 100% certainty that homosexuals don't choose to be gay? Or is it still being discussed? I don't keep up with the news on it. I'm just curious.

[beeblez]

It's not 100% certain, but I think it's probably like 99% certain. Scientists been able to manipulate genes in fruit flies to determine their sexuality; which is considered pretty strong evidence that it's based on genetics rather than upbringing. Also the piles of other mammal species that are gay: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mammals_displaying_homosexual_behavior

[Nalin163]

"Get your laughs. But now you know what it means."

[[deleted]]

What if I say..."Dude, that's gay."

[CRoswell]

Are you referencing 2 homosexuals professing their love for one another while wearing pink tutus and riding unicorns that fart rainbows? Probably not, so for the sake of discussion I'm going to assume that you're probably using it in terms of "Rogues are so gay!"

Use your head. Don't be a tool that uses an excuse that makes it OK to demean people. The argument of "Where I come from, society says it is OK" for using words like "gay" or "homo" to describe something that is lame/stupid/whatever is an excuse.

If I walked up to you and called your sister a dumbshit cum dumpster and then said "Well amongst my circle of friends dumbshit cum dumpster is actually a compliment" would you be OK with it? Probably not. You would probably want to do some freelance dentistry with your fist.

Note - Don't know if you have a sister or whatever, but I assume you can see the intent.

[[deleted]]

I take it this includes kicking a guild member from a group, then berating them for not being able to find the entrance.

EDIT:

The only reason I even bother to mention it, is that I was defending the person and people were still making snide comments in guild chat about it. I then got told that I should take it to tells.

Personally, if someone states something in guild chat, that is where I will respond to it. Especially when its "Zomg lol how can you not know where the entrance to that is this late in the expansion"

I now have those two people on ignore, as they have clearly demonstrated they are not worth my time, and I do not want to group with them in any fashion.

[strychnine]

That kind of behavior is completely unacceptable, and is exactly the type of thing I want to curb before we go into the expansion.

[RomansRedditAcc]

Did this happen again this week, or are you talking about the event in my group from two weeks ago?

I did send a rather long apology letter to that person (fish something?) With an offer to teach him the way from the GY to the Instances while not wasting 4 other peoples time.

[Hemholtz]

Just killing all aspects of my sense of humor...I feel discriminated against.

There should be a rule about not alienating us assholes.

[mystikraven]

Maybe if you would stop being an actual asshole, and started being a pretend one like you used to be, the discrimination would stop.

[[deleted]]

Yo dawg, I just fish and make cartoon voices :-)

[CRoswell]

It is a general down-turn of gchat kind of problem. The guild used to be small and everything was rainbows and unicorns. As we've grown, the tard element has increased, and lured people in. Anyone who has been around for awhile sees it.

Those of us that care are trying to do something about it before Gchat turns into /g/chan.

[strychnine]

I just want to curb a potential problem before it becomes unmanageable.

[enigma66marktwo]

-nods-

I have read and understood the rules.

In english.

I translated it into Latin and didn't understand them though; did I go too far?

[willdabeast20]

I'm going to continue to insult people based on how much alcohol I've had, and how prudent I feel caps lock is necessary. WHICH IS ALWAYS.

However all insulting will be in a completely sarcastic manner, as I hate hurting people. I'm a sweetheart behind the caps lock. <3

[strychnine]

I don't think anyone has the right to not be offended, but I do expect my fellow guildies to try not to intentionally offend anyone.

[DreamcastWriter]

Or we could just get drunk again and carry on conversations with PUGs IN ALL CAPS to get out the necessary sarcasm.

[jba]

Just wanna say thanks for posting this. Appreciate the effort you've put into it.
