Bottom Line: "It's Not OK To Be A Jerk"

The purpose of this note is to explain what we believe is acceptable behavior in Dublin and what is not. In other words, these guidelines define behavior that would get a visitor booted (ejected) and banned (not allowed future access).

Harassment means "intent to annoy". If you persist in annoying behavior, after being asked to cease, you will be booted and banned and logged. If you're asked by staff to stop, then stop! Staff are members of the Blarney Stone Staff Group.

We are not trying to get rid of people. But we are trying to make it so everyone wants to stay and talk. We leave room for judgement calls.

Examples of behavior that have been found annoying when carried too far include...
. Abusive behavior/harassment towards staff
. Interfering/obstruction of staff performing their duties
. Harassment of Newbies by anyone
. Public arguing
. Public cybersex
. Parading around in your underpants
. Wearing a giant penis
. Sitting on stage or on the piano during a live music concert or dj event
. Nudity (all bits covered at all times both male & female)
. Setting off bombs
. Setting off tidal waves
. Triggering sound gestures during live music concerts
. Advertising in public chat
. Making intolerant remarks
. Using offensive slurs
. Soliciting business in public chat
. Soliciting money in public chat
. Soliciting sex
. Rezzing prims clogging up public areas
. Role playing, text or visual - e.g. combat, police, vampires, S&M, BDSM - no biting, attacking, wearing collars/leashes, playing sexual animations
. Shooting guns off next to or at other avatars
. Violating the Dublin Virtually live filming policy - https://dublinvl.forumotion.com/staff-public-access-f4/dublin-virtually-live-filming-policy-and-guidelines-t490.htm#540

Examples of behavior that are OK...
. Double entendres (witty words with sensual innuendos)
. Showing off your latest humongous particle poofer when lag is not an issue
. Having a good natured rag or row with intent to entertain
. Cybering as consenting avatars like sex-crazed weasels in Private IM
