The URL below is a link to the Waybackmachine Archive record of the EpicMega Games message board JJ2 forum during October 1997. Please feel free to take a look:
Note the following rules suggestion, typed in boldtext on the page:
"As we encourage people of any age to use this service, we would appreciate it if you could refrain from using bad language in your messages."
The description of the creative vision in that sentence should probably be adhered to on JJ2 itself.
Consequentially, players should be held accountable for their behavior in JJ2:
=-> Bullying other players, especially younger players, should make you lose respect from your peers.
=-> Uncalled-for insults, regardless of your rationale, should make you lose friends and potential allies.
=-> Cruelty, and being mean in general, should devalue your own enjoyment of life and sense of well-being.
Maybe (just maybe) those would be overtly-strict punishments; alas, I'm not contributing them as ideas for punishments; rather I'm describing my observation of the cause-and-effect interactions regarding players' levels of respect and tolerance toward one another, within the JJ2 community. So, in other words, don't take this post as an advisory, it's meant moreso in the sense of a predicative evaluation.
