I might be a little late to this topic but the rules remain the same.
So far in this thread not only have i seen reference to an alliance acronym that is inappropriate and therefore against game rules, moderation issues discussed outside the correct forums and a fair bit of baiting too.
Those of you who have been involved in the behaviour i have mentioned above know who you are, and i suggest you start rectifying yourselves before i reach you. Yes TE is supposed to be a fun more fast paced and war filled version of the Standard Edition, but it is NOT a place where the rules are relaxed. Learn them, or fall foul to them. It's your choice.
Those of you displaying inappropriate alliance names have a very short period of time to make them disappear before they are forcibly removed.
