== Chat use ==

`Main Chat` is the standard public chat used for normal server wide communication in the supported main chat region.

To talk in `Main Chat`, use:

<code>/main [message]</code>

`Main Chat` is:

* public
* divided by region
* used with <code>/main [message]</code>

== How to use Main Chat ==

To send a message in `Main Chat`, type:

<code>/main [message]</code>

Example:

<code>/main hello</code>

If you press <code>T</code> and type normally without <code>/main</code>, the message goes to [[Country Chat]].

== Main Chat regions ==

`Main Chat` is split into these region [[groups]]:

* `LS`
* `SF`
* `OS`
* `BC`
* `LV`

`LS`, `SF`, `OS`, and `BC` share the same `Main Chat`.

`LV` has its own separate `Main Chat`.

== Language rules ==

Non-English messages are not allowed in `Main Chat`.

[[Team Chat]] is also an English only chat.

The listed main chat rules are:

* no spam
* no server advertising
* no racism or hate speech
* no insulting players or their families
* no religious or political arguing

The listed punishable misuse in or related to `Main Chat` includes:

* telling players to join another server
* posting server IPs
* racist or homophobic insults
* insulting players or their families
* political or religious arguing
* drama bait
* harmful lying such as telling a player to use <code>/quit</code>

Breaking chat rules and then saying you were joking with friends does not make it allowed.

Saying `fail` after a punishable message does not make it allowed.

Reposting a quote or log that breaks the chat rules also counts as breaking that same rule.
