Because i saw many complains about the rules that have been given before some days.I talked with some staff of the PGC and made the rules from the start.Here they are:
A] ACCOUNT CREATION
Accounts:
Only 1 account is allowed per person unless given a valid reason. If you change your account or get a new account you must post on the PGC forums under General Chat and provide your reason for the name change.
You are considered multi-accounting if:
a1. You have more than 1 PGC account.
a2. You share your account with another player.
Players who directly or indirectly assist or conceal an individual in multiaccounting will receive a timeban or shitlist depending on the severity of the case.
B] CHANNEL RULES
Channel Activity:
You are not allowed to spam game names or channels for the purpose of recruiting players to a non-PGC league. You are, however, allowed to look for more players to fill your game or ask for another member who is vouched to PGC to come and replace you.
The only channels you can spam for games are (PGC - IGC - DGC)
* Required to behave kindly to others. The disagreements will be resolved in a decent understanding of the 2 sides.Flame + Caps in the channel are not allowed.
Any friction in the channel will be punished and those who participated in this well either started or not.
* The spaming is strictly prohibited. In other words, the incessant flow of messages and commands to the Bot will be punished strictly.
