New Rule - Tone Arguments

[Fenris]

Krylo just put up an announcement regarding this but considering most people navigate from the front page where announcements don't show up for some reason (note to self, bug synk about this just like everything else) so I thought a thread here might help raise awareness that this is a thing that we have been doing for about a week unofficially and from here on out will be a thing that we will be doing officially.

Do not suggest that the user should word their posts more nicely. Simply respond to the actual points the other user is making. If you feel that another user's tone is out of line report the post and a staff member will deal with it accordingly.

Thanks.
