Administrator Shinohara Posted May 5, 2017 Administrator Share Posted May 5, 2017 Regarding some of the rules listed, you will first be warned for the behavior in question, rather than punished immediately. However, disregarding warnings and repeating the offense will lead to harsher actions being taken. Not following our rules can and will be punished accordingly, based on our Punishment Policy. If you are constantly breaking the rules, you may be punished further. _____________________________________________ 1. Deplorable behavior such as foul language, profanity, harassment, and excessive toxicity is not allowed. Behavior such as this will not be tolerated, whether filtered or not. Similarly, avoiding the profanity filter will also lead to punishment. Chat toxicity and excessively posting complaints with the purpose of disturbing the general community will not be tolerated and lead to punishment. 2. English Only in All Official Chats, excluding Other Chat In all official In-Game Chats, besides the Other Chat, you are only permitted to speak in English. However, feel free to make your own chat channel for speaking a non-English language. Custom chats won't be moderated, but the Rules still apply in those channels. Any violation reported to us will be punished. 3. No Discussion of Infractions, Reports, or Applications Do not discuss sanctions in any of the official chat channels, do so in the proper section of the forums: Discipline Appeals. Do not discuss report-related topics in the chat. If you see someone violating the rules, make sure to report that player. Do not discuss staff applications in the chat. This will reflect negatively on your application. 4. Links and Advertisement You can only post in-game links of the official PRO website and forum (example: dashboard, guides, support threads, etc).
