Forum Rule Clarification: Harrassment

[Dreek 1633]

Good day LoTC.

 

“Criticism must be made in a constructive manner. Make an effort to remain mature and uphold the good nature of each discussion; we do not tolerate toxic or deceitful behaviour.”

 

This rule is long standing on the Forum Rules. However a lot of players don’t seem to understand the magnitude of damage a player can do to another in a post. Therefore the Forum Management Team sought to bring clarification on this rule.

 

Simply put, the rule itself does not seem like it has as negative connotation if you break it as you really should. This rule seems like if you broke it; ‘Ah, well, a couple of points.’ More players need to clearly understand that certain posts can lead to a direct ban, it doesn’t matter how few points you have.

 

Certain things you say to another player, whether rumour or fact, can stay with them their whole time on the server. You can state something that could potentially be a cornerstone of abuse to them for years. Many players are stuck with a bad reputation having allegedly doing stuff that they never actually did.

 

Understand, the level at which you choose to attack someone will have a direct counter response on you. Should you choose to attack someone so viciously and directly. Spread rumors or threaten to attack, dox, doss, etc. You will face a punishment just a severe.

 

There are no guidelines to what sort of punishment you will receive for different types of harassment, for the simple fact, we the Forum Team don’t want players to know what they’re in for when they make a post attacking another player. Just don’t do it. Each case is handled separately, and therefore each punishment will be unique.
