Alan 1815 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sup Fringeans Fish Sticks, If the title doesn't make the content of this announcement obvious enough, an amendment has been made to a staff banning policy regarding pugsying (intentional mass no-RP killing, for those of you who are new around here). After much discussion both on the forums and among the staff, the Administration has come to a unanimous decision; we will no longer blanket permaban pugsiers without exception. Instead, the verdict will be judged based on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the GM in charge of the ban. This means that details such as motive, attitude, previous warns/bans, behavior after the ban, etc. could mean the difference between a ban of a couple months and a ban of longer than a year. However, this only applies to the FIRST offense; should an unbanned pugsier ever pugsy a second time, they will be truly permabanned. I am not talking the kind of not-so-permaban that people are used to on this server, I am instead referring to a legitimate permanent ban with absolutely no chance of appeal, and anyone under such a sentence that posts an appeal will be ignored and denied without consideration. We believe this is fair given that those people will have already been provided with a chance to change after their first slip up. Another note regarding this change in policy is that pugsiers who ban evaded are not off the hook. Just as always, ban evading using alt accounts will earn you extra time added onto your ban. Though those of you that have pugsied in the past and ban evaded to get around your permabans are no longer truly permanently banned, my suggestion to you all is that you don't even consider making appeals anyways since they'll be denied. If you'd like to know when you can appeal, PM the staff member that banned you and see what you can work out. Lastly, just to prevent any confusion, this post is merely meant to explain a change in policy and nothing more. We are NOT mass unbanning pugsiers, so don't respond complaining that we are doing so. Pugsiers that have been banned for longer than a few months may now appeal, but whether or not their appeal is accepted is up to the staff member handling their appeal. However, to ensure this doesn't just turn into an excuse to say pugsying isn't permabannable when GMs simply deny every pugsy appeal that pops up, I'll mention now that players are as free as ever to PM Admins if they truly believe that the staff member dealing with their appeal is biased or unfit to do so. Thank you all for reading, and hopefully this change sits well with you guys =] - The Lord of the Craft Staff 42 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
