==== <ins>Things they may not do:</ins> ====
*Vendetta mutes. They don't like you, so they mute you. *Mutes for things they find personally offensive. (eg wintersolstice doesn't like the word armhair so he mutes you) *Casual muting (just for the hell of it) *Mute a GM, or attempt to, or even think about it. *Mute you because you PKd them and they are angry. *Mute you because of something you said in local. *Mute you because you insulted them (eg. "lex is a big poopy head)([[Devs and GMs|GMs]] can mute you for this however)(rule does not apply if insult involved something listed above in things not to talk about) *Mute you permanently, [[Devs and GMs|GMs]] alone reserve the right to mute for more than 24 hours, I'd ask them to refer any cases where they feel an extended mute is needed to a GM. *Mute you in a manner inconsistant with the procedure posted above. *Mute without warning *Abuse their position, or pose as a GM.
''Note: mutes are now timed, so it's ok to log out if you've been muted.''
