Long Rules, Section 2, Paragraph 4 wrote:A user can only return from an indefinite ban after contacting the Ombudsperson and arranging a meeting with a forum admin at which the user will present their case for being unbanned. The user will also present two respected members of the community to vouch for the reinstatement.


Was originally 'form'.

Long Rules, Section 3, Subsection e. wrote:e. Posting for banned users.
Posting for banned users is too hard for the moderators to police and as such is permitted however if you post for a banned user you take full responsibility for the content posted.


Was originally to.

Perhaps this should be rephrased as one of the following (I think the first two sections would be preferred):

a) ...permitted. However,...
b) ...permitted; however,...
c) ...permitted, however...

Long Rules, Section 6 wrote:Role playing is an important part of the SGW experience. In order to facilitate this, certain topics will become more heated than would otherwise be tolerated by the moderating staff. It should generally be kept to the Race Forums and the Galactic Colosseum. The normal rules of profanity and abuse still apply however specific taunts towards others within reason and not of a personal nature will be given more tolerance.


Was originally 'Coliseum'. Also, was originally 'with in' (not sure if 'with it' is right or not, but I know within is).

Okay, I can't find anything else, except for some iffy comma use possibilities (where they might be needed). Sorry to be a grammar hound, but 11 years of English class have a way of getting in your head :P

Fixed, though for the record coliseum / colosseum can go either way - both are correct (for consistency though I changed it).

Seriously though you are great at this - I should make you read all my essays before I submit them :P

Fire is the best way to kill necromancers and their creations. I'm so sorry hidden. :(

Jokes aside, wouldn't that fall under mod discretion? There are some threads that ressurecting might be allowable, such as market threads or so. Plus, as long as it is not ridiculous, it seems acceptable for the temple. Is there a need to mention it?

I thought about necromancing but honestly all you have to do is lock it, it doesn't offend or hurt anyone.

While necromancing make sure you don't falll into spamming though.

Hairy: Necromancing is sometimes called bumping - heard of that?
