NOTE: Many of you who are familiar with Elitist Jerks from WoW will recognize some of the rules. Some I copied straight from their site as they were well written. Anything with a * next to it, I claim no credit for and full credit goes to those at elitistjerks.com
*1) All posters are to make an effort to communicate clearly. In particular, all posts should be made in a reasonable approximation of proper English. We realize that a significant number of you are not native speakers, and we do not expect perfection: merely effort. Please obey basic rules of capitalization and punctuation, avoid chatroom abbreviations ("lol", "imo", "u", and the like), and pay at least minimal attention to sentence and paragraph structure. This includes not starting a new paragraph for each sentence.
*2) All opinions should be stated as succinctly as possible. Do not make multiple consecutive posts; rather, multi-quote and include all your ideas in a single post. Do not quote huge blocks of text to add a short reply; instead, quote only what you need to to make your point. Do not break a single quoted reply into multiple blocks; doing so needlessly lengthens your post without aiding its readability. And don't provide unnecessary backstory: if it isn't relevant to the question you're asking or the point you're making, we don't need to know about it.
*3) All discussion should be both polite and civil. Trolling or flaming in any form is forbidden. Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they are stupid or on drugs and their personal hygiene isn't really relevant to the discussion. Regardless of the merit (or lack thereof) of your argument, it should be made in a way that is neither insulting nor condescending.
4) While this forum is dedicated more toward analysis of roles at 50, I want this to be a place where even a new player may post and not have any repercussions. So please, be respectful, even to the new guy, as everyone was new at one point.
5) Search the forums BEFORE you post. I will try to keep all of the useful posts at the top of their correct boards for easy access.
