rule against 'yelling' on main.

[Zaratus]

I LOVE CAPS.

[GM-Ayu]

Fun as jokes once in awhile if it's not too excessive, but again I think common sense dictates when did things cross the line. Hopefully we aren't bad to the point where we need to state specifically for some things like this.

[Zaratus]

I hope so too.

Or to stay in that theme: I HOPE SO TOO

Meh, the only reason i ever keep main on is so i can hear people yell and flame eachother I find it quite funny sometimes the level of common sense they have and how shameless they can be to make fools of themselves infront of the whole server...

that being said HI SAKARUTO

No.

Common sense ftl.

Caps isn't always yelling. Especially on the unformattable RO font, it can also be used for emphasis.

Strangely, main has been quite good lately. Did someone bribe them?

[Frogboy]

perhaps we should refer to trowa's whine

Actually, its part of Circe's "End of the World" plan

It started with Landon yesterday who kept capslock on main. Lots of people told him to stop using the caps but there are no real rulebreaking at that point unless it breaks another one.

As I often say, I'd prefer to let go a guilty than punish an innocent.


However, I suggested those people to go on the suggestion forum if they don't agree with the rules, just like I usually do when someone doesn't agree with what is in place. I generally explain to the player the logical reasons why a rule would be there, but there were no rule to defend.

As a moderator, I don't want a rule "ok you can post X and Y caps and so and so and so". This is too tight to apply.

If a rule has to be voted, it would be about "excessive use of caps" just like we have a rule for "excessive swearing". There would be a grey zone just as usual. Those rules are about what we judge to be excessive. Keep this in mind : We each have our own tolerance level.

That said, I would probably vote against such a rule anyway.

What is it with GMs and trying to end/destroy/take over the world? <<
