Chat Channels
It is recommended to avoid OOC chatter in any of the public chat channels commonly used for RolePlay. In specific this includes /say, /emote, /yell and the likes.
Using these channels for OOC communication disrupts the flow of RP, and may also disturb other roleplayers in the vicinity leading to unnecessary hostility and drama between the guards and other people.
On top of that, the less we use these channels for OOC communication, the harder it is for us to end up in a situation where we argue with people over stupid things.
If you need to contact people to get consent for punishments or any other OOC stuff in regards to the current scene, you should either form a Party/Raid and speak in /party or /raid if there are multiple, or just whisper the person directly if you only need to communicate with a single person.
Basically. Keep all OOC chatter out of /say, /emote and /yell.
Be aware that causing unnecessary drama for the guild because of comments made OOC in public channels may end with warnings or even removal from the guild.
