Chat Rules

This refers to modifying a filtered word with symbols, numbers, or letters in order to get around the chat filter. For example, if “noob” was a filtered word, saying “N00B” or “No*b” would be considered bypass.
You are allowed to use up to 50% of these words, however, the rest of the word must be censored. For example, “N**b” or “nb” is allowed, if no disrespect rules are broken. Failure to properly censor a word will result in punishment.
The use of racial slurs in any form is prohibited.
Swearing is allowed in private messages unless disrespect rules are broken or if it’s reported, which is dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Spam is approximately four messages in a row without another player’s message in between. While this is the general guideline, this rule may be enforced differently on a case-by-case basis. Deliberately irritating others with chat spam will result in punishment.
In addition to spam messages, spamming players with commands such as: /tpa, /msg, /mail, or /pay is not allowed.
Encouraging other players to spam is also punishable. For example, saying: “The first person to count to ten in chat wins 10k!”

Impersonation is the act of pretending to be another person for the purpose of entertainment or fraud.
Impersonating a staff member is prohibited and offenders will be strictly punished.
Impersonating a player is usually allowed, however, it will be up to staff discretion on imposing punishment in the case that a player reports it.

Flooding is the use of excessive repeated or random characters. Sending a message with approximately 8 or more repeated or random characters is technically considered flood (but not necessarily punishable). This is the general guideline, but the rule may be enforced differently on a case-by-case basis. Intentionally flooding the entire chat will result in punishment.
For example, saying “;iufgbhsb3499ynjdls”

Sending a message with 8 or more capital letters is technically considered excessive (but not necessarily punishable). This is the general guideline, but the rule may be enforced differently on a case-by-case basis.
Repeated use of messages with capitalized letters over the limit will result in punishment.

We only use English due to the limited staff members, and a lack of bilingual members.
Main chat is limited to English only, to protect people from unseen or easy-to-miss insults, bullying, etc.
Continued use of a foreign language in main chat will result in punishment.
You may use other languages in private messages or island chat.
