New Clan Channel Rules
Clan Channels will now be treated as private channels.
The rules that apply to public channels will no longer
apply within the clan channels since clans are seen as
a collective group of 'like people'. This means, allowing
cursing and allowing game information. This also means that
the GM can decide what he wants and doesn't want out of a
clan and can police things based on what 'type' of clan
they want.
I have updated the CLAN and CHANNEL helpfiles with the following:
"CLAN channels are excluded from the public channels rules,
in the manner that they treated more in the manner that gtells,
says, and yells. As with all avenues of communication on legend,
we do request you always follow the guidelines for civil manners
towards others. By joining a CLAN, all members are stating that
the players behind them are aware that this is a PG mud and that
the Immortal Staff will not be held responsible for content on
private channels. As always, the Immortal Staff will intervene
if something turns into into a harassment problem."
We are in the process of retroactively applying this rule, so
as we have time, we will be deleting all warnings pertaining to
the adjustment of this rule. Once we get the warnings removed,
I will make a post here to let you know they should no longer
be showing up.
If anyone has any questions about this, please let me know!
Thanks,
Haley
