Tips: 0.00 INK

Ok, I'm just going to post my opinion on the topics, nothing fancy:
Vulgarity: Rules on swearing depend on the context entirely, for example if someone swears because they've dropped something on their foot, or forgotten something important, there is no offense to be found there and thus it should be allowed. On the other hand if you start shouting obscenities AT someone it becomes offensive and unpleasant and thus should not be allowed.
Sexual Roleplay: Hugging, kissing. Thats it. No further. Or bam, kick in the arse. Saying 'smexes so and so' in offtopic does not count as sexual, it isn't exactly a graphic description is it, so let's not pretend it is.
Insolence: Defining this is difficult, because if someone is talking back to a moderator in a none rule regarding situation, it shouldn't be any different than mouthing off at anyone else, but if someone is kicking up a storm over a moderators ruling on a roleplay, conversation or likewise issue, it shouldn't be allowed - mods can't do their job if anyone can decide they don't like what the mods are doing and make themselves a nuisance.
Writing Quality: Ahhh, the big one. There is really nothing to be done here unless we have rooms for various skill levels, otherwise everyone has to be able to roleplay even if they aren't very good. In a scenario where people are in a room that is specifically labeled 'advanced ' or 'high quality' the moderators would have the power to say that you aren't good enough and send you to a lower level room.
Spamming: Uhhh... clear line here, spam = bad. As long as you understand that short posts aren't instantly spam. So saying 'lol' in offtopic isn't spam, but saying 'lol' 'lol' 'lol' 'lol' in several posts is.
Harassment: If the person being harassed doesn't want to be harassed, then the person harassing ceases their harassment, or else. I reckon that trolling comes under this as well, intentionally insulting people is no good. But if someone overreacts to a comment made in jest then it isn't the jester in the wrong... if you get what I mean.
Parody: What on earth is wrong with fun characters? It's fun! FUN! Isn't that the idea?
