Community discussions should contain and continuously bring constructive criticism along with new ideas and suggestions. Use the correct channels to allow for a persistent discussion and not block dynamic discussions.

Clarifications
If a rule isn't written down, it's most certainly not forbidden either.
Eg, acting tough in chat is not forbidden, nor is it forbidden to be named Stalin in-game.
However, it is forbidden to harass others, spam in chat or to impersonate an admin in-game.
The recruiting rule gives every regiment or clan permission to make one informative recruitment message per 3rd round, also containing a link to a steam profile, website or forum thread. This isn't done to harm or discriminate against regiments or clans, but to keep the chat open for conversations, orders and memes instead of it being filled with advertisements.

Player Consequences
Admins use common sense when determining punishment, but they also use certain guidelines.
They look at previous behavior and if there was a valid reason to bend a rule.
Breaking a rule once and regularly breaking them everyday may lead to different punishments.

Admin Consequences
Admins can make mistakes, but certain measures may be taken if it appears that they have deliberately broken the rules. Admins are the representatives of the community and should therefore be extra aware of the rules, show extra patience, restraint and respect. Common mistakes are often forgiven. Eg, if an admin accidentally permanently ban a player and immediately report it. However, if an admin has deliberately broken the rules, acts out as a threat against the existing hierarchy or if a valid complaint has been filed, then the admin can expect three possibilities; removal from the team, a warning or a demotion.
