17. Use incomplete words like (but not limited to) "wt", "u" and other l337 ways to talk. Some abreviations like "wb" for welcome back, "CU" for see you, "DT" or "PO" are moderately accepted as long as they don't fill the whole sentence. Forms of slang and "street speak" are also unacceptable.
18. Spoil quests, or other things. Spoiling the game is no fun, so don't ask for a spoiler in the chat. You may ask for help and get some indirect hints but not a spoiler.
