Hey guys. We're glad you're having so much fun with the current war. In fact, we're having a lot of fun watching the fireworks ourselves. Some people are raining on our parade by breaking the rules left and right, which means we've had to revoke leniency and crack down again. We don't like giving out warnings, especially in the midst of such good times. So please, take a few seconds to refresh your understanding of the rules of IC forums (and just the rules in general).

What is not allowed:

* mentioning or alluding to "real life," including referring to a so-called game, a server, players, and other related terms.
* flaming. That's right, flaming is still not allowed, even during a war. Imagine that!
* spam posts and attempts to e-lawyer your way around what is considered a spam post (one-word or multi-word contentless posts, images posted with no, one, or contentless words, any combination of annoying contentless spam phrases, posts like "interesting," "this is interesting," etc that contribute nothing other than a +1 to your post count, "in before X" posts, etc).
* mentioning or alluding to Moderation issues or reporting other leaders ("your post is breaking X rule," "I'm reporting you for X rule infraction," any reference to "trolls" or "trolling," "in before lock," etc).

What is allowed:

* telling the world about your alliance/alliance business or sharing your opinion about other alliances/alliance business as a leader of your nation.
* mention of IRC and forums. These are considered as means of communications between leaders.

If you encounter what you believe to be a rule infraction, post it here following the pinned guidelines.

Alliance leaders, please feel free to encourage your members to read this thread and make a renewed effort to follow the rules. The ninjas will appreciate it.
