The friends chat has an all-inclusive policy. Players of all types are permitted in the chat.
P2P accounts in the FC
Pay-to-Play players are welcome in the chat, but we do ask that you avoid raising any P2P game content chat in the FC. This is to avoid confusion and non-relevant spam for the majority F2P players who use our Friends Chat. It's perfectly fine to mention an achievement that you have just achieved, but if it is likely to start a P2P discussion, then please leave it out.
There are plenty of clans for Iron P2P players out there who are very happy to let people join or guest in their chats, please do make use of those for any P2P chat instead. We also have an affiliated clan chat, 'p2pironmanfc', to enable the P2P frequenters of f2pironmanfc to chat freely about their p2p content without having to drop out of f2pironmanfc. Players can guest in that P2P focussed clan chat, they do not have to leave their own clan chats or the FC to do so.
Repeated flouting of our policy on P2P chat in FC may result in a kick on the third offence.
Occasionally, our policy on P2P chat will be relaxed for a limited period due to other factors, such as Iron accounts being given a free weekend trial of P2P. Those circumstances will be very rare though and will only affect the FC for a short time. Even during such periods though, if a FC Mod requests that a particular P2P content conversation is curtailed, that must be respected.
