This is to help those cope with or address an issue with etiquette or some standing rules of etiquette.

Although BOOT has etiquette which follows most of the basic guidelines as the mud wide rules. We do have a clan talk that is rated R not all channels are rated that way.

Simply type help policies1 this will help a lot when dealing with the general population on Aardwolf, reason I am posting this is I did have my own encounter and surprised, I wasn’t gagged or coms banned for a bit. If you have an issue or think you have an issue, talk with our staff. They are knowledgeable and  guide you as they deem it should. Surprisingly, and without doubt, the staff has your back.

Apologize, even if the person you apologize to doesn’t seem to accept. Be the bigger person, goes along way. This apology is to the channels you was wrong on and to the clan channel. Next off except punishment if it is going to be doled out. But in reality, before it gets this far, log off, go afk do something other then being rude on channel.

Scenario.

Problem: You are in a room and engaged and killing a mob, someone comes into the room, cons room and proceeds to area clear the mob.
Issue: Was this person wrong and rude, just rude or his/her right to do it. Even if this happens multiple times. Let your staff know a name so everyone can watch.

Answer: Although you may think of it as rude, he/she technically can engage mobs you are not fighting. Is it proper etiquette, probably not. But move on.

Do you address this issue you have? If you do, do it in tells, not everyone in public channel(s) wants to hear it, but still use some form of etiquette.

In closing, there is always away to handle things, no matter if heated or not, just cause it is a texted based game, doesn’t mean people don’t have feelings on other side of the keyboard. Words hurt and can hurt even if typed. And if take it to heart, take time to log off or to calm down. Trust me it works. If have more questions or the likes, can contact me Vanhatai or any of the staff. There always willing to help!
