'HARASSMENT' Everyone is welcome here, provided that they play by the rules. This means also that NO personal harassment is acceptable in the Abandoned Realms game, forum, or community. This includes sexual harassment, "death threats", etc. In particular, rules-lawyering (which includes the guidelines set out in "help cabal conduct") via in-game notes, logboards and other OOC manners are considered harassment and fal under this rule. Due to this being a competitive PK'ing game, we anticipate that things will get heated, especially between bitter rivals. However, the tolerance for trash-talk is balanced by harsh punishments when that behavior has crossed the line. Harassment should be reported by the ISSUE command to ensure due process, and and grievances should otherwise be handled IC'ly. Please do not take matters into your own hands and attempt to provide unsolicited "coaching" or moral high-ground brow-beating in tells. For instance, an evil seeing that a Knight will not defend the castle is within their boundaries to call them a coward, but it remains inappropriate to break immersion to play courtroom or call them out via OOC channels. The Immortals will have the final say on what is harassment. Multiple Immortals will examine harassment cases before a call is ultimately made. See also: INSANITY IGNORE
