  WGTpizza:

  The file is on our site under the .pdf format currently. We will make this document a part of our site (just like the FAQs) in a future release. Sorry to those who may be confused when accessing .pdf files - a few clicks and any machine can view this document.

  Bad thing is, it's not barrier-free which reduces the impact. To demand "a few clicks" is a wee bit presumptuous - why expect additional work from the customer? - and it ignores computer reality: On properly set up Windows PCs, the users don't have administrator rights, so you may have to change the user or even ask the human adminstrator before "a few clicks" may do the work.

  Of course the average client machine has a pdf reader installed, but I'd rather not postulate it.

  WGT has a zero tolerance policy for the discussion topic of politics and Religion, but not a zero tolerance policy for the discussion topic of illegal drugs, spamming, trolling, or inappropriate language.

  Just sayin'

  READ THE 1st PAGE OF GUIDE LINES,  THEY DO HAVE POLITICS AGAINST ALL YOU STATED ABOVE.  THE 1st  GUIDE LINE SHOULD BE  READ THE GUIDE LINES BEFORE POSTING ANYTHING.  JUST SAYING

  For instance:

  INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE 

  Do not post anything that is, or could be, construed to be: 

  • defamatory 

  • “coded” or colloquial language that may allude to inappropriate language 

  • initiating, participating or perpetuating harassment of defamation 

  • typing in all capital letters, or abusing text format options

  That was on succeeding pages under the topics he put in bold. My guess is he actually read everything, especially under Inappropriate Language  where it mentions typing in all caps.

  You know what IS against the rules? Goading the WGT staff members by pushing the limits, trying to "get away" with posting things that don't belong in this thread.

  Please be kind, thanks.

   

  Stay classy,

  So os dwi yn siarad yn iaith fy hun rhudych am cael gwarad o be dwi wedi ysgrifennu.  Cwbwl dwi am siarad am yw y faith gai 'sgwennu yn unrhyw iaith heblaw am SAESNEG neu AMERICANNAIDD heb i neb o WGT taflu'r bost i ffrwdd. Diolch

  Mae pawb yn defnyddio ei hunan farnyddiaeth pan darllen y postiau 'ma, os yw pawb yn ysgrifenny'n iawn does dim anden torri'r gyfraith.**

  **(people should use common sense when constucting/reading posts and its rare for posts to get deleted, they have to either be really bad, or way off topic)

  Is this against the rules??  English is my 2nd language, my proper language is above, i see plenty of posts in Italian, so is my language not allowed??  

  None of the above is "coded" offensive or breaks any rules, neither did the Arabic i wrote either.  It wasn't goading any body or breaking any rules as it wasn't offensive or coded (and i dont condone terrorism, or anything bad to happen to the U.S of A)

  trying to "get away" with posting things that don't belong in this thread.

  I see a video of the 3 stoodges above (dont take this personally Bubba, just pointing something out as i DONT MIND!)  That has nothing to do with the thread either, all i did was harmless fun on what you can post or not

  So if i decide to write posts in Welsh, (i play with plenty of welsh speakers here) will it get deleted as some secrative "coded" language...Oldest language in Europe if you need the facts, spoken before latin/english and all others.  Unlike others here, i think in welsh and find it easier writing in welsh, its hard to explain to people who only speak english, but we live and think in welsh and translate afterwards
