Graal Rules
 

Hi. Many players seems to get banned without really knowing what they have done is wrong. Then they come here(Graalians) complaining about the game and blame the staff members for the result.

At this point, Graal Rules deserve its own menu icon. Any players can read at any time, so they can learn about all the rules in game. I am pretty sure a lot of us aren't aware of some strict rules or unsure about some of it.

Also when a player gets warned, I think the Graal Rule book should appear and force the player to scroll down.
{Extended idea} And take a quick test about the rules.

Would be a good idea , era have all the rules listed + how many hours bann you will get if you break that rule ... I think classic needs this too 0.0

Please

Should put that list in FAQs building, since they removed the admin list.

yeah good idea. they can put one up in the graal police station as well.

Expecting kids to know basic etiquette ahs been a problem for as long as the internet has been around.

Look up the September That Never Ended sometime, I think of it all the time.

That being said, Graal really could do better at educating people on their rules. I really think it would take little time to make a positive change on the topic.

The thing is... Graal rules are pretty much the same as the ones you have in society.
Swearing, scamming, etc... Those concepts should already be familiar and so the banned should not be unbanned unless it really was a mistake. Which shouldn't normally occur as often as it looks by looking on the forum.

It's not a rule to not swear, it's just customary to keep your mouth clean. Also, having the rules written down, and what their expected punishment would be (1k hours, IP ban, etc.) would act as a template for the admins when making their decisions.

Rule 1: Be a civilized human being
Rule 2: Repeat rule 1

Being civilized has many different connotations for different people. For instance, a psychopath may understand the connotative meaning of being civilized as murdering homeless people.

God dammit christmas.

Using an account to auto farm gralats isn't uncivilized.

Pretty sure most of the important rules are common sense. If you think you are doing something wrong, it's probably wrong. Just do the right thing and no one will mess with you.

The rules need to be there, end of story

Not everyone knows that chat blocking is a thing, and gets banned easily for it.

If you're unsure what you're doing is wrong, chances are it's probably wrong. It's basic human ideals to know what is right from wrong. Cussing out a player, auto farming, or harassment are all examples of common sense related activities that are wrong. It's all pretty straightforward.

Do I think adding a rules book would be a negative thing? No. But it also isn't needed either.

I searched 'Graal Rules' on Google, there were 3 threads before this, asking to add list of all the rules for this game.
Each and every thread had strong supports. Therefore we need one. There's no harm for having a list of rules.
-If we are having a hard time explaining certain things, rules can help us out.
-If we are confused whether a player doing certain thing is legal or not, rules can clear it up.
-Some players can learn and avoid doing unrecommended things (like advertising) after reading the rules.

Wouldn't be negative, however if someone is punished for their actions then they don't have the right to question thekr punishment when the rules are there for a reaosn

I'd like to know why I was banned for no reason yet a speed hacker was able to carry on hacking at the same time. Was this a mismatch or confusion? I reported this guy and I get banned for inappropriate behaviour? tf.

I'd like ban reasoning to be more in detail I'd also like a button in the menu that lists all the rules on what you can and can not do.

To the admin who did ban me though you can go fock yourself. Getting quite sick of me and my friends getting ridiculous warnings and bans.

thx for an example.

Telling an admin to "fock" themselves just makes it worse for your case.

Think about it, if you weren't doing anything wrong and minding your own business, would you have been banned?

Along with a rulebook, add evidence (if it's an innapropriate behaviour issue).
This would stop almost all complaints, would also make for some funny forum posts.
