Must .... control.... Anger....

This is the second time in two days I respond to a post where someone try to enforce some rules even if they're either very vaguely mentioned in the rules or not at all. Why don't you leave it to the moderators instead of trying to administrate a thread on your own? I think this place will be more pleasant that way.

Hi Jugulator

In fact there is a set of rules that specifically mention Lounge posting Etiquette.

They can be found here:

Item four covers it quite clearly. Admittedly these are not posted at the top of the forum. Perhaps that should be rectified. But they are put forth by one of the Administrators and they do lay out some expectations for Lurkers.

The Administrators of the forum are not the only custodians of proper behaviour. We are all responsible as members. We can and should try to be tactful about it, but that does not mean we should not guard our forum, lest it descend to the lowest common denominator.

As to the original point of this thread:

I have only recently started to play on a Realm, after almost three years of SP or TCP/IP games. I suffered my first blow in that regard yesterday. I had just completed a NM Meph run with an Assassin who was getting pasted in Hell Act V, and had laid my charms out in town to make space to pick up the drops. I got booted and could not re-join. That sucked badly too, as she needed those resist and life charms badly to survive in Hell.
