Exactly, I don't want to be in a position where I'm afraid to post in GC or the forums because someone might take offence at something I wrote and finds it to *technically* be in violation of the poorly written ToS. (I rarely post in GC as it is, and only just started using the forums despite playing Illy for months)
I actually have a personality disorder where I'm already usually afraid to speak because I tend to say the wrong thing and insult someone unintentionally, I don't want to have to be afraid of being unintentionally in violation of a ToS too by some contrived reason because they are not specific enough.

Koragg, I have long contended that only thing common about common sense is that it is unique to each person. :)

If you ever find yourself thinking "I wonder if this breaks any of the laws of the United Kingdom?" or "I wonder if this constitutes acceptable behaviour" or "I wonder if the GMs will get angry with me for saying X?" then you're probably on the wrong side of acceptable behaviour and the code of conduct already. |
Actually, my concern is quite the opposite. I'm afraid of the definitions being 'too' loose and that something that is otherwise of no special problem could be interpreted by what IS written down as being against the ToC.
For example, "posts of a sexually explicit, inflammatory or violently threatening nature". If I were to tell someone "I'm sending an army to kill all your military units." that would be violently threatening, because I'm engaging a military action and killing people. Yes, the intent is violent threats TO THE PLAYER's person, and not the in game civilians, but that's not what's written.
The problem here is that you'll get petitions from armchair lawyers who'll say "He did this and this is against the ToC" and yet they're really harmless (Kiltov's signature, for example, which alludes to kidnapping). And yet if you ignore the petition saying 'oh this is harmless' then you'll be accused of not following the letter of your own ToC.

Albert Einstein is quoted as saying "Common sense is a collection of predjudices aquited by age 18." The inference there is that everyone's 'common sense' is different, and therefore, not really very common at all

Or do as a large part of Illyriad do daily. Just ignore the people with bad attitudes. Works fine.

to the new GM
well this community is already a living thing that has his own rules and culture.
and the community is proud of it.
try to change this culture will do no good to anyone.
instead of forcing things on us, discuss whit us.
try to work whit the flow instead of against it.
and by the way, we did not really need any community manager to begin whit.
about the private mail and PM stuff...
no way. we, the community demand transparency.
so please dont refuse public debate. things explained behind PM are always shady and untrustworthy in illy.. do things in front of everyone's eye.
this is part of the culture here.

Yeah, i know i'm just making sure. I just don't want to start getting pinged for something that is taken out of context on GC where it was actually in good humour.

@Harry Just use common sense, please. I can't really take the time to go through an endless back and forth of "what if" scenarios with everyone. I'd never get anything else done. :)
