5. Ranting is prohibited
A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.

6. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Corporation, faction and alliance members and other players are cautioned to avoid allowing “in character” disputes from becoming "out of character" personal attacks. The game is designed for role-playing and/or portraying a role and it is sometimes easy for tempers to flare when the lines between the virtual world and the real world are crossed. Please keep in-game disputes in the game and off the forum unless it is clearly a mutual, in-character exchange.

20. Post constructively.
Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are not constructive, insulting or rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.


Why are 5 and 7 the same?

You mean he might be a 'hater'? WAAAANNNNHHHHH. My idol has feet of clay.

In before the lock!

But that's the only reason for GD to exist in the first place...

I had a typo and copy-pasted the wrong rule text. I did mean rule #7, though, which is "Trolling is prohibited". I have updated the lock message to cite the right rule.

That said, if you have issues with an ISD's handling of a post, please report it (via the regular report function) so the leads and community team can handle it. Creating a new thread about it is an inappropriate response, particularly as discussion of moderation is disallowed.
