http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Ethiala#Out_of_Character_RulesThe realm of Ethiala on FEI had a clause at that link. I'll repost it here for those lazy.
Ethiala is considered a serious roleplaying realm and so requires that all players choose appropriate names for their characters. At an absolute minimum, characters are required to be aware of the [[Serious Medieval Atmosphere]] guidelines, and are also recommended to familiarize themselves with the [[RP Primer]].
There are no 'RP Police' and only the most blatant out-of-character behavior (such as an inappropriate name) will result in an OOC ban. For everything else, just be aware that advancement is usually rewarded to characters who contribute to the medieval feel of Ethiala.
So, I'm wondering, was this legitimate? Could realms dictate this sort of thing at one time? Could they still with it not being viewed as an OOC Ban abuse?
Does anyone know if they ever actually used such force in-game, or was it a hollow threat?
