15.7 Language Rules
The rules for using language in Aetolia are simple: [0;1;37mDo not inflict obscene language on people whom you do not _know_ are willing to hear it.[0;37m [0;1;37mDo not use racist, homophobic, sexist, transphobic, or any hateful language at all. Ever. In any medium. On any channel. Aetolian and Iron Realms has a -zero tolerance- policy for hate speech, and we will take harsh action on those who ignore this rule.[0;37m Aside from that, we largely don't care what you talk about in tells with friends, but we do not want to see the offensive language on any public channels. Public channels are any channel that is inherent to the world and not created by the player. For reference, the list is, but not limited to, the following: Says, Yells, Shouts, City (CT and CNT), Guild (GT and GTS), Market, Crafters, and Order (OT). When in doubt, assume you're speaking on a public channel unless told otherwise. Webs can be established as out-of-character if all members agree and the language rules can be established in the same way. Clans are created by the player, either for personal use or an organization. The Clanhead can dictate what sort of language rules to allow and whether it is in-character or OOC. Hate speech is still never allowed, even if all parties involved agree to relaxed rules.
