Well, time to set some rules:
# Do not abuse other players (it means insults, swearing etc. directed to a particular person/s)
# No bots (and by botting I '''also''' mean ANY AFK activity in game).
# No spamming/flooding (including trade spam).
# No begging.
# Speak English on public chat.
# RFC 1855.
 
These rules may change in the future, so it is worth to take a look on this thread from time to time.
 
Notice WIN ERR 001:
Replying to spam threads/posts is also spamming. Five warnings will be issued and then a username/IP/email will be banned.
 
Spamming or trolling on forum to boost your post count, to be able to vote in GM election polls is a subject for instant ban.
 
Some precisions: ([http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=15115&p=118766#p118766 Post subject: Re: is it also forbidden to attack the same mobs as another ]
 
There is no rule forbidding following other players. There is a rule preventing to annoy players and to use automation to gain advantage over other players which is unfair. If a GM suspects botting, s/he is supposed to execute a standard botcheck on each char.
 
Also it is not forbidden to attack the same mob as another char, it is even encouraged to play in teams (of living people), this question is completely pointless as there are and there were no rule forbidding it. Common sense is a rule of all rules, appliance of the rules could be some way automated I would get rid of GMs and introduce rules-enforcing bots.
 
 
Regards.
