My thoughts on the administration

[Al sevenfold]

3. As it has been said, keeping a calm, cool manner in @ and OOC (it should be in the entire game, actually) helps you. I find it quite annoying to see a new player with <5 hours make a mistake (accidental metagaming, ask a simple question etc.) to which the majority of players respond "In metaland, MEEETAAAAAAA, Metatastic!" etc. over OOC.

I agree, if people can take the time to scream meta at the person they can take the time to say "Please use /advert instead of OOC to advertise or talk about in game information."
I find people listen more when you are more descriptive to them.

Well, in my opinion, its their own fault that they're metagaming, because the rules are thrown in your face when you join, and for a reason. You're supposed to read the rules BEFORE you start playing, not after. If someone then responds to their metagaming with "meta", they should then go "Oh, right, that was against the rules, because I decided not to be an idiot and actually read the server rules"!

Sometimes people need reminding of the rules.
