"Diabetic jokes" no fat jokes? "Religious jokes" Por que? what is wrong with pokin fun at the papists every once in a while? Or scientologists? "Racist jokes" Not even about myself? :c "Sexist jokes" Are pickup lines out of the question?
As long as we do not see any inappropriate jokes on the server or TeamSpeak, then it's fine.
Thanks for this MidnightBeats. It hurts me to see jokes about this kind of stuff. People have died from some of these diseases and jokes about that is very disturbing. Glad to see some appropriate action taking place. Thank you!
Since many of you are obviously unclear about what you can and can not say, any joke that directly attacks or makes fun of a player or a serious matter (Ebola, Cancer, Race, etc.) will not be tolerated. I was actually about to make a post like this myself. You all know what's appropriate and what's not. Let's use some common sense, here.

In addition to this, if we see this on either the Forums, TeamSpeak, or Avicus, we will not hesitate to carry out a punishment.
The severity of the punishment will be dependant on how, where, and what kind of joke you used. In most cases however, it will be a tempban.
I'm really glad to see this. A couple of people kept making Ebola jokes on the forums, which made me lose all respect for them. Some people don't care about anybody but themselves, and say really disrespectful things about others.
If we pm inappropriate jokes to a friend. With both parties understanding it as a joke with no malicious intent. Is this able to be punished?
No. But you may have to explain to the mod that both parties are aware that it's just a joke.
But considering you're messaging via PM, no-one could report you apart from you and your friend. Meaning that a mod wouldn't know unless one of you call them over deliberately. Which would be a bit weird considering there would be no need to call a mod because you'd be joking with each other.
The question has been answered now. Any jokes that directly attacks or humiliates another player is not tolerated. Any jokes regarding serious matters in general is not tolerated. (Ebola, Cancer, Race, etc.) If you say something with malicious intent, expect an infraction.
That's it really.
The questions that have been asked recently now are being too specific and are only addressing one specific situation. The question has already been answered.
If you are joking around in chat be careful, regardless if you really are kidding because people can misinterpret anything you say.
Just be clear hen you're talking in chat, no matter what you're saying, make sure you're being clear with everyone else.
If someone does misinterpret what you're saying, explain to them what you mean and be nice about it.
Why are you guys asking if some sort of jokes are allowed. PLEASE DON'T DO IT PERIOD! What if you had a disease. Would you want people making jokes about YOU. So please just stop and think about others instead of trying to be funny.
Since many players seem to be confused, here's what I'll say.
Although we would prefer you did not say these jokes, we will not completely restrict you from saying it. For example, Saying the word "ebola" once won't give you a tempban, we will give you a verbal warning. When you start to use these jokes in a more severe, inappropriate answer, then you will be punished.
Lately the amount of Ebola jokes and such have been getting out of hand so this thread was made just as a clarification.
The 18+ chat rooms will be a lot less strict than the other channels, but if a player requests that you stop making jokes about a sensitive topic you must comply.
And jokes like "JoseKiller Ez" I accept it when my friends do it, I don't like when my nemeses do it, this is bad sportsmanship, I report it a lot of times and any member of staff do something about it.

Thanks (:
People excessively using "Ez" in chat is considered disrespectful and has been punishable for awhile now. Normally it only ever gets as far as a formal /warn though.
You made a leaving thread and have also not been on the server (on this account) for 20 days. Why exactly do you continue to stay around simply to post negative posts? If you have such an issue with the server (which is the vibe I get from a lot of your posts) then suggest on ways to improve it as opposed to just being negative for the sake of being negative. It benefits no one, least of all you.
It amazes me that people know almost nothing about HIV, AIDS, Cancer, Ebola, and especially Autism and are so ignorant as to joke about them. IMO Racist jokes are fine IF NO ONE TAKES OFFENSE TO THEM OR CARES. The brown people make jokes about their race at school and people will say stuff like, "brown parents" and no one will care because we're just joking around. Not even the brown people care you said that. :P Bottom line is that you can't just punish that if no one cared or everyone, including people of that race found it funny. Certain things have no exceptions. But certain things do. And read up a little on something before you make an ignorant joke/comment about it. Just imagine the life you'd have to go through of you had Autism and/or were Gay. You'd basically get bullied and insulted every day and probably would have little to no friends because loads of people are really shallow. How would you feel if evey day of your life you had to feel like complete shit because you were BORN that way?
Your kidding me, your mom jokes and 17 years... Why do you need to take those out, they never hurt anybody unless you take things seriously on the internet...
I hate these freakin Ebola jokes, I can't stand them. Just because it's affecting people far away from North America people decide to make fun of it and laugh at a disease.... If Ebola was a thing here in Canada and USA no one and I mean absolutely NO ONE would make fun of it.

Ebola IS in the USA.
