It has occurred to us (us being the staff) that name-calling has become some sort of commodity here. While we understand that people get pissed off in the heat of battle and that one things leads to another, we certainly don't think it's respectful and it's definitely not something we want to tolerate.
There is even a rule in the 'Rules & Guidelines' regarding RESPECT. Name-calling is not respect.
Therefore, we are going to enforce that rule more strictly. Name-calling will result in a warning (or two), after that a maximum of two temporary bans, and eventually a permanent ban.
We don't mind someone swearing every once in a while, or the use of the word 'f*ck'. But if you start a personal battle against someone and start to call him names, like 'moron' or even go say stuff like '..., you little kid', you're crossing the big red line that reads RESPECT.
