Well said Tabion.
Thats why im kind of pressing for some specific guidelines on what type of behaviour will be allowed.
Example:
Rules say that swearing is not harassment. But what if a guy comes up to me and says "You suck at fighting" ? It would not be against the rules as such but the wording certainly discourages rp. Refrasing it to "You are a bad fighter" would get the same message over but still leave it open in a rp sense. It would be possible for me to stay in character and respond to this person with a sentence that fits my characters style.
This is just an example and im sure someone will say to just ignore it but that isnt always possible. You cant maintain your own rp when no one around you does it with you.
