Either words that can or words that cannot be used on the boards.
the exact reason why these two smileys are allowed on the boards
an exact explanation of what inappropriate language is

I was going to continue but I suppose this would be just a grand start.

So, to clarify (other than how clearly the board is PG-13 according to the T&C and obviously all of the staff is confused on that) their are no other words that should be censored that are not already censored (within reason) as the board should do that job.

The board is PG-13 (T&C) like the game (T&C)

you failed to mention what exactly inappropriate content is, so it's just some judgment call based on nothing.. I'll add that up with common sense so, the obvious no-no subjects within PG-13 ( T&C)

Those smileys are there to express the emotions that they state therefore we look at the subjects in which they state, cursing and censorahip... interesting

and I'm interested as to why you'd make that final note, I'm not discussing any of my questions here on the board, that would be against the rules and I would be the one to get 8 trouble for it. Now, of course, if you're interested in messaging me about those feel free at any time or anything within this thread for that matter. It's not like the ICC is a place where users go to get answers to questions and mods, go's etc are supposed to be there.

Anyways, I'd like to ask that you keep on subject in this thread, it's a board discussion based thread and therefore, should be treated as such, regardless of your thoughts.

Clarification of the rules is typically a public thing, not a private one. I'm sure the rest of my issues will soon be getting to as well, but, since we're stuck on technicalities, I will point out 2.3
Minors are only permitted to use the Gameforge Services if the relevant legal guardian has consented and if the user has attained the minimum age indicated in the relevant age rating.

in other words, although you may not have the same check box as .com, minors (the reason the check box is not here is because the UK has so many ages that defineswhat a minor is) still require guardian permission iin order to play the game and use its other services.. anyways, that's besides the fact and I'm not willing to argue or explain the difference between PG and PG 13 (although I must say, if you've seen this game, you'd know it was PG-13 simply based on how the rating system that works with games) but, regardless, I suppose the areas I wanted to be explained were explained to your fullest ability, feel free to close the thread.

I must say, I did just notice the lack of mention of the IRC thing, just figured I forgot to say anything about it in my previous post but low and behold, I did.. oh well, what are expectations anyways?

QATC

Ah, glad you decided not to close the thread, now I can continue.

so, as it was stated, the smileys are used to show emotion, HOWEVER if by any means they can be confused with or by any and all words that are against the board rules, they can be given as a warning.. so, I guess any possible confusion on the matter would then mean that those smileys should be avoided at all costs as they can at any time be confused with a "bad word" regardless if other words would fit in in their place.. now, although that's confusing, I would then question why the boards would have such warn-baits if their only purpose is for free and jolly warnings. Feel free to reply to that, Hopla

0.o at first glance I thought animated smileys, but the board has very few and don't even know if those are against smiley spam as stated in the rules..
