THE CORE RULES OF NETIQUETTE

The Core Rules of Netiquette are excerpted from the book Netiquette by Virginia Shea. The rules are listed below. Those of you who want to know more, can to to the website: Netiquette Core Rules These rules have been online since at least 1990, and before that they were sent around by Email. It is the definitive guide for how to be a good online netizen.

• Rule 1: Remember the Human

• Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace
• Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth
• Rule 5: Make yourself look good online
• Rule 6: Share expert knowledge
• Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control
• Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy
• Rule 9: Don't abuse your power
• Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes

Three Rings first rule is our second rule. This is a game, and we all want to practice positive thinking and have a good time.

Mainly, you need to understand the game, how to get around, and how to learn all the things you need to know. Players with more experience in the game will help you learn what you need to know to achieve success in this game, but first, you should learn the basics by reading the Spiral Knights WIKI.

• Especially read the Terms of Service, Community Standards, New Player Briefing, List of commonly used abbreviationsand Playing Guides
• Watch and Listen to other players.
• Learn from your errors.
• Believe you will get better, and you will get better.
• Just keep playing. Get in there and swing, shoot, or blast at the monsters until you learn from doing.

Misconduct and inappropriate behavior will impact negatively on the guild as a whole. Therefore, you should stress proper conduct among all members of your guild and be prepare to kick misbehaving members. If you don't have the will to kick members, you should have a conduct/conflict officer who is prepare to make the hard decisions.

Cursing There is no place for cursing in any uber guild. Sure we all slip a curse when we get killed or are frustrated but when it becomes excessive or frequent, the member should be warned or kicked. Improper etiquette only brings a negative and hostile atmosphere to the guild environment and should be avoided. Cursing should never be seen on any community or global chat. Furthermore, many of your older members may have children near by or watching. My recommendations are to keep it PG 13 in a group setting and anything goes in private.

Foul Play Members who actively perform activity for the sole purpose to ruining another's gaming fun should be warned or kicked. Such activities such as monster pulling, teleporting one to a hazardous zone, camping a spawning area in PvP, and cheating have no role in an uber MMORPG guild setting. This type of foul play only brings a negative impact to the hard work you put forth to your guild.

Stalking/Sexual Harassment/Misconduct of Sexual Nature Members who engage in any harassment behavior of a sexual nature should be kicked out immediately. Your MMORPG guild has no room for any predators, perverts or stalkers of any nature. Not only does it negatively impact on your guild public image and reputation, it also will cause an increase number of member departures from your guild if this type of behavior is tolerated. My recommendations are to be firm with this anyone misbehaving in this particular aspect and to deal with the matter privately and swiftly before it becomes a big issue.

Asking for money One of the biggest newbie moves is to ask a stranger for money or loot. Only a newbie will do this. Imagine in real life, you are walking in the streets of the city and asking random people for change. That is the equivalent of this newbish move in the MMORPG world. Not only is this inconsiderate, it is also rude. Although this is a fantasy world, things need to be earned and various items have weight in the game economics. No one should expect something for nothing. Those who expect a handout will quickly find themselves alone and left behind.

In a team and guild environment, asking for money/loot may be appropriate if you know the people and ask nicely.

Asking to be leveled The second biggest newbie move in most MMORPG is to ask others to level you. This annoying request will lose you more friends in a heartbeat. It suggests that you don’t have the time or the dedication to develop your character and that you’re looking to gain something for nothing. Most newbs will ask strangers to “power leveled” them where they just tag along and leech off the experience coming in. Some power leveling can be done with the player away from key. Most people consider a request for leveling rude and something that only a 13 year old would request. Even in a team or guild environment, power leveling is shunned by most uber guilds. Just like in the real world, there is no easy ticket and those who are looking to cheat their way to the top are not respected.

Let us be clear. We hope you are reading this for the first and last time. We hope that behaving like a good quality player comes naturally to you so you have no problems getting along in our guild. However, for those times when someone walks the line and creates conflict that must be managed, there are disciplinary actions you can expect us to take.

• Warning - On the first notable complaint due to offending one or more other players, or when an officer or Gm notices you behaving contrary to the guild rules, then you will be offered a warning. You get one warning, and a period to correct the behavior. We recommend you start with an apology to the people you offended.
• Probation - If a warning is not enough, and you continue behavior contrary to the guild rules, then you may be assign to a Conflict Officer, who will try to help you understand how it goes here in this guild. This is our way of helping you help yourself.
• Ask you to leave - The polite equivalent of kicking, but this option leaves the actual leaving in your hands.
• Kicked from guild - Reserved for highly offensive mistakes, or when people will not leave when we ask them to. Only the Guild Masters can kick someone from the guild.
