BANNING POLICY: while we value opposing viewpoints and welcome *polite* disagreement, we will NOT tolerate personal attacks, foul language, or hate speech. Typically we will issue a warning on the first offense, but suitably insulting material, obvious trolling, or a generally snotty attitude, will result in an immediate ban.
In short, if you can't be civil, you can't play.
