Ideas for server rules

[PabloDons]

I will quote Ice (despite all dem requests not to): "if it's not broken, don't fix it, that will break it" (or something to that matter)
I think the current system is perfectly fine. The guidelines has been the greatest troublemaker filter since ORE was created. I think that staff members should decide what to do on the go, because making rules can lead to confusion like what Xeo (yes, he's actually alive) pointed out. As long as nothing is directed against another player or group of people, it shouldn't matter whatever you say, be it swear words or racial remarks. making rules for what should be punished and what shouldn't makes it hard to avoid punishing a comment that meant no harm.

To set this in perspective, I will go as far as to say that setting rules like "zero tolerance for racism" would encourage banning any and all who say the word "black" in a racial relation. That's absolutely unacceptable for me because not every sentence containing that word is racist and offensive.
