Dateline 11/4/2001: LABEL POLICY

Using labels to label items is a privilege. Inappropiate usage will not be tolerated. If you write something on a label that is questionable or in borderline bad taste, you may be asked to change it. If a player writes something that is in bad taste, or tries to use a labeled item in a disruptive way, the label and the item it is attached to may be confiscated. For repeated abuse of labels, a player may lose the privilege of using labels and other customizing systems permanently.

What may be considered questionable or in bad taste is up to the discretion of the GM Staff. A few examples are:

Profanity or masked profanity, names of drugs or drug-related items, distasteful use of body parts or areas of human anatomy, the word "sex" in any form, or "whoop ass" in any form. These are only a few examples of what can be considered distasteful on a label. Also, putting a GM's name on a label is considered inappropriate.

The general guideline is if what is written on the label is not acceptable in polite conversation, the player may be asked to change the label.
