We have received complaints from a few forum members concerning the language and comments being made in the Smack Talk. I am making this post in response to both sides of this issue. This post is being placed in the Forum Announcements, Trade Wars 2002 and Smack Talk areas so that everyone should have an opportunity to read it.

EIS is not responsible for any content posted here in the forum, unless specifically posted by an EIS representative. EIS feels that it must do everything in its power to keep all of our forum members happy and safe from harassment.

The Smack Talk area is designed to be a place where those people that like to participate in “flame” types of conversation can and is meant to be “unmoderated”. The idea is that if these people have a place to post these aggressive types of posts, then the other areas of the forum would remain free of these types of posts. If you are not one of the members that enjoys reading and posting “flames” then it is a good idea not to enter this area. While the rules for the Smack Talk area are “relaxed” to a great degree this does not mean that the area is free from the rules set for the use of the entire Trade Wars 2002 supports forums. The area has the same word filters that all the other forums have on them. And follow the same rules everyone that has made a post in any area of the forum has agreed to. I point to the specific area of the agreement “In your use of these forums, you agree that you will not post any information which is vulgar, harassing, hateful, threatening, invading of others privacy, sexually oriented, or violates any laws”. Let everyone be warned now that failure to follow this rule, regardless of the area in which it is posted, may result in loss of forum privileges. That being stated, please know that it is not our intention to become the “Gestapo” the Smack Talk area shall remain as it is intended to be a place to make aggressive posts about other players and servers. What that means if you want to berate or defend a player, sysop, gameop or even EIS feel free to enter the Smack Talk area and do so in as aggressive a manner as is allowable by the agreement. Racial Slurs, Physical Threats and Gay Bashing will not be tolerated by anyone. If you feel that you must engage in this type of activity, there are plenty of hate sites on the Internet were you can find people of like mind to belittle anyone who may be different then you are. Just go to your favorite search engine and type in HATEFUL IDIOTS, I am sure you will find plenty of places to waste your time.
