            [Abuse of the community] <strong>Do not pass on personal, real life information about another player in either public or private communication without that player's express permission.</strong>

        <p>
            If any player tells you something in confidence, respect that as you would in real life and do not spread it around unless they give you permission to do so.
        </p>
        <p>
            If you happen to have extra-game knowledge of any <em>player</em> do not share that knowledge with anyone in-game unless they give you permission to do so.
        </p>
        <p>
            At the same time, think before you give out personal information about yourself to another player -- how well do you really know this person? how upset would you be if this information did become public knowledge?
        </p>
        <p>
            Remember that there is no reason why you would ever have to share any real life information with anyone in the game -- player, Vol, or dev -- if you do not want to.
        </p>
        <p>
            As for passing on information and gving permission, if the Vols receive a valid complaint that this rule has been violated they will check the logs. Unless the alleged violation can be traced in the logs, <em>no penalty will be imposed</em>. The Vols can not help with things outside of Daimonin.

            Penalties
        </title>
        <p>
            The precise nature of a penalty, and whether it is preceded by a warning, will be determined by the Vols on a case-by-case basis. See the stickies <a href="file=viewtopic&amp;t=4204">'Enforcement of the Game Rules'</a> and <a href="file=viewtopic&amp;t=4205">'General Interpretation of the Game Rules'</a> for further explanation of these issues.

        <p>
            Otherwise isolated violations of this rule will likely result in any combination of:
        </p>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <strong>multiple kicks;</strong>
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>short, medium, long, very long, or permanent mute;</strong>
            </li>
            <li>
                <strong>short, medium, long, very long, or permanent character and/or IP ban.</strong>
            </li>
        </ul>
