I know this question might be stupid... but just to be safe:
I want to know if it is insulting and against rules to say "Grow up" in public chat to kids who are arguing ALL DAY LONG
Is this insulting and against rules?

saying an insult im pretty sure isnt against the rules..its a game..maybe the excessive use of bad language might but saying 1 insult wont get u in trouble..this isnt kindergarten..and if u have to say an insult..how about trying to use the ignore function first..if ur list is full then just ignore the person and go do something else

If you want a yes or no answer, go read the Rules of Conduct.

"Grow up" is not an insult.
Hinting at someone's immaturity might get him/her offended, but definitely not an insult.

If they are arguing all day long, then they are just trolls. Telling them to grow up won't do much.

Don't think it's against any rule or terms of whatever, but if you're American and they know you...you run the risk of being sued for anything.

I'll sue you if you look at me wrong and I'll report you for verbal abuse if you tell me to grow up!

Oh...and personally, I'd say a lot more than "Grow Up" if it were me in your shoes, but i'd have to invite them to a local ventrillo server first, then make them go deaf as a proceed to beat the shit out of them verbally.

Untick the chat, problem solved.

No.
And defiantly a lot nicer than I would have replied, then again, I usually have all chat turned off. Text-Speak, racial slurs from obviously white teens, just annoy the hell out of me.

It's not an insult, it's an instruction. It contains no foul language and isn't abusive so it's not against the rules of conduct.
It is, however, somewhat of a pointless thing to say. If the kids you're listening to are really that bad, do you honestly think you telling them to grow up is going to do ANYTHING other than make them flame you and act even more immature? The sort of people who enjoy acting stupid in public channels are the sort who get off on negative attention. If you feel you can't let their actions go unchallenged then by all means speak out, just don't expect it to change the situation (at least not where the ringleaders are concerned - you might get lucky with the kids who are just joining in to look cool in front of their mates). Good luck!

Just keep local chat off - nothing good ever comes out of it.

Theres always someone whining or arguing in main towns/outposts, always with full caps, keeps things amusing while I sell stuff. I reserve grow up comments to argumentative pm's
