I will flesh out these rules as the game develops (and any and all feedback is greatly appreciated to facilitate this!) but as it stands so far,
Social Rules for all:
* The 'keep your nose and teeth rule': Don't say things which normal people would not say face to face, because they would either get a flat nose and less teeth or make themselves an enemy for life.
* The 'not in the mall rule': If you have a problem with someone, discuss it in private. Do not make a scene and have a rational discussion.
* The 'HALT-DS' rule: If you are hungry, angry, lonely, tired, DRUNK or STONED, don't start an argument. Wait till you have eaten, calmed down, talked to a friend, slept and sobered.
* The 'don't burn down the city rule': If you intentionally reproach, hurt or insult other players in public (forum or any Diablo game) this will not only hurt your relation to the individual, but also the community. So in principle you express that you are a self-centered, opinionated ... subject.
* The 'Mind your manners rule': Please and thank you go a long way but most importantly, sorry for when you have done something a member has to point out to you has displeased them in some way.
* The 'One Brand rule': Using the Gauss tag in any other game than the Diablo series is not acceptable and may result in your membership to the channel and forum being restricted.
Game Rules for all:
* The 'Who's House? rule': The person who is hosting the game calls the shots. You act upon his wishes. If he wants your help, he will take it. If he wants you to leave as you are making his game harder, do so. If he does not want you to skip cut scenes...etc etc.
* The 'Safety rule': Always, always ask before entering someone's game as they might be at a crucial point and your joining might make the game unsafe. Always communicate with the party when initiating boss fights to make sure all the party is ready.
