   * Speak more politely than you normally would.  This is generally received well, even if an imperfect translation.
-The sidebar lists the rules in effect. These rules apply to Fraternity space in sov null areas. Fraternity does not enforce these rules outside of sov null Fraternity space, other than the rule not to AWOX.
+Basic Regulations:  All activities of WC members in the game are subject to these rules. WC members include alliances, corps, and individuals.

+  * Scamming Prohibited: Any fraudulent activity within WC is prohibited, including but not limited to impersonating a Coalition Director or using a neutral, unregistered account to commit fraud.

+==== Use of Channels in Winter Coalition EN Discord servers ====
+  * Pay attention to the purpose and audience of the channel.  Post only what is relevant to that audience and purpose.  If there is a channel available more specific or applicable to your audience, use that instead of a channel for wider audiences (E.G a Fraternity channel if you are posting Fraternity-specific topics).
+  * Do not use an @everyone unless you are a coalition exec, an FC pinging a stratop, CTA, or other important fleet, or you have a very good reason to believe that it is time sensitive inforamtion that needs to be acted on right away.  Note that with this command, you are often pinging people's phones.
+  * Use @here only if you are a coalition exec, an FC pinging a fleet, or you have good reason to believe it is important information for people to see and act on.
+  * If you find yourself in a debate with someone, move to a private PM channel.
+  * If you find yourself in a debate a group of people, stop typing if you are getting angry or if the same arguments are being repeated over and over, personal insults are being used, it goes off-topic, or if it is just gone on for some length of time.  If a critical issue that needs a resolution, take to diplos.
+  * Remember that friendly banter and jokes are fun -- but can easily be misinterpreted in a multi-cultural, multi-language situation.  If the conversation turns unfriendly, stop and check that jokes were heard as jokes, banter understood as banter, and that words and phrases were understood the same by both parties.
