Updated the Charter with the following:
The Rules:
The general list of rules for the fleet are fairly simple, and should be pretty much common sense.
The main, over encompassing rule for the fleet is by one particularly well known Star Trek alumni, Wil Wheaton.
1. Wheaton's law: Don't be a dick! www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3ICRoe-QIw
This is meant mostly as an OOC rule, especially for our chats. 'Being a dick' when IC is fine, as In Character drama is more then welcomed. Outside of being In Character, though, everyone here is meant to try and get along. We don't want to see people whining about others, bitching that they didn't get their way, arguing, yelling, etc in our chat.
Remember that there's actually someone on the other side of that screen, and if you talked to them nasty like that to their face, you might get your ass kicked.
Bending of Wheaton's law will get you a talking to.
Outright breaking of Wheaton's law, such as insulting someone outright in Crossover, will be quashed then and there, and you will be pulled aside and talked to.
If you are asked by a Guardian, a Mediator, or a Pathfinder to cease a discussion, then please do it. Repeat offenders will be considered for muting, or banning from the chat channel. And we really don't want to do that to people.
2. Xing up for anything in Crossover is completely allowed. We just ask that you post what you are Xing up for along with it. "Xing for STF's". This is because of the fact that we are trying to get people who don't use TS, or only hop on for certain things, to get involved in things. If you prefer to keep your STFing private, then use a private channel to X up in.
If you randomly X up in crossover for something, be prepared to be asked what you are Xing up for. It's fair game, at that point.
If you see someone X up in crossover and want to know why, then ask. Don't go and bitch that you weren't involved, simply ask what is being done, and if they are allowing additions, if you want to join in.
Additional rules will more then likely come up, eventually.
