Intentional spamming is defined as posting line after line of random characters or obnoxious/obsence words and phrases. Get caught doing this and you will be banned. Unintentional spamming is, more often than not, committed by players new to the chat channels and is a bit harder to spot... if you are the one doing it. Others, however, will not be so slow to identify unintended spamming. Oftentimes, unintended spamming is created by a player's excitement over something they wish to share with the channel.

Be careful, though. Punishing a scammer means the mod MUST know, without a shadow of a dount that the player was indeed intending to scam. i.e., screenshots, etc. That way there's no question. It's not one person's word against another, 'cause that does happen sometimes out of spite.

Any player caught scamming, aiding or abetting a scammer or participating in any event or action that is considered scamming will be banned from the public chat channels. If anyone attempts to scam you report it to a mod. Be careful, though.

Do not post links to your personal, for-profit web sites. Begging in real life is no more fun to watch than begging for in-game stuffs. There are many places to advertise your wares on the web. Our chat channels are none of those places.

Don't beg for items or moolah. Period. (There are many ways to beg for stuff and we known them all. Begging will get you a warning. Continued begging is a bannable offense.)
