Sorcerio 4596 Rep Farm Share Posted December 4, 2021 [Doc Link Incase Removed] “From the moment that we sign on after our first application, we acknowledge an unspoken duty—to preserve this experience and to help each other enjoy our time here. To support a stimulating, encouraging, and jolly place—a community that you can grow and develop in.” — Telanir, Community Guidelines Everyone who joins LOTC does so with the promise of community, fun, and safety, allowing an environment in which their roleplay can flourish no matter their experience or skill. However, even since its inception, there have been a tragic many who have abused the environment we have strived to build for their own, grossly perverted intentions. Of course, I refer here to the matter of pedophelia which ever-so-frequently rears its ugly head within our community, only for the perpetrator to be unceremoniously cast out for their perverted ways. Now it pains me to mark my return with such loathsome news, but I am compelled to share it out of concern for those who also enjoy this server as well as I. It has recently come to my attention that another such instance of revelation is necessary in order to preserve the community which the players of this server stand for. Before I divulge on the topic at hand, I will take careful note to mention that moderation and the administration have closed this investigation and are no longer considering it. This post may otherwise well be deleted because “ban reports shouldn’t be made public”, or because it's a “sensitive topic”, or because it “circumvents staff decisions”. But this is NOT a ban report, nor is it any effort to get the staff to change their minds on the issue, because frankly I don’t believe they will. No, this is an effort to reach out to the community in order to show them the objective truth, so that the matter may at least be taken into their own hands. After all, if staff truly value transparency as much as they say they do, then they should expect that same level of transparency among members of the playerbase as well. Over the last month, gradual information has been made accessible to me from a number of individuals, including a private ban report against the player “KP”. The evidence is clear, outlining the fact that when he was 23, came after a minor. Spoiler For those unaware of who KP is; the ban report refers to them under the name “TangoIsPointless”, or “Happy_Shackles”. Currently they are the nation leader of Oren, and have so far received support from much of the current administration despite their actions. For the sake of the victim (of whom I’ve received ascent to post these logs) I’ve only provided some of the more relevant screenshots, though the document was also filled with various discussions, at least those that could be obtained from Skype. I would rather not spread the document, that would make it easy for both this post and myself to be taken down for doxxing. Again, staff have been made aware of this, mind you. This matter has been brought up on multiple occasions but has always been rebuffed. This evidence has already been “reviewed”, and the case has been dropped, not because the logs provided are fake, but because the evidence provided is simply “too old” regardless of how damning it is. Yet the age of the logs is irrelevant, and the fact of the matter is that a heinous crime against our community’s dignity was nevertheless committed. Whether past or present, the permittance of this act has violated the core principles which the server claims to be built upon, and that simply standing by in idleness further degrades the promises we make to every wide-eyed new player who hopes to become a part of our community. To Tythus, Telanir, and all those in power who do genuinely want what's best for the server, I say this: by standing by and choosing not to act, you actively destroy the foundations of the community you wish to serve. No, players do not have the power to act, and anything other than us simply pleaing for change is nothing more than idealism. So for now, we can only encourage player initiative within the community, and hope that we may expel those who would commit such atrocities from our ranks with fervor, so that the players, not merely the staff, preserve the same integrity for others that we seek for ourselves. But if we are indeed to be silenced every time we bring genuine pleas for change in our community, then we have truly strayed in every way from what this server was supposed to be. 180 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Security_ 1075 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2021 Counting the minutes until the Blue Tag Gestapo comes to silence you for your insolence. A shame this happens once more, until the server raises its age to 16+ and stops harboring content for children, this entire server is a mixing pot of degenerates, pedos and underage adults. The issue of having underage players needs to be tackled, before the FBI starts doing it for us. 37 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelu 3691 Share Posted December 4, 2021 thank god i made the switch over to discord in 2016. more seriously, let’s start holding people accountable when rumors first come out about them. If they happen to resurface several times, I doubt they’re actually facetious. Do better. 22 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicii 1114 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2021 It doesn't sit right with me that some people are banned for reasons that are deemed 'silly' or 'stupid' when they are doing no real harm to the server, yet people like KP are allowed to roam free without any consequence and the case is somehow dropped? Mods love to get so involved when someone breaks a minor rule once and ban them, yet when a nation leader is grooming minors and all round being a sex pest, everyone bats an eyelid. LOTC really needs to sort their priorities out over who they keep on their mediums and who actually harms the server vs who does not. And people still wonder why people laugh and make jokes about how LOTC harbours groomers/harassers. 54 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo 1831 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Why does this server draw so many sex pests? Actual question. Also, I'd advise everyone NOT to witch hunt until more facts are known. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowak 877 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Wait i still don't see the ages. He asked an age, the person said 20, above the age. if they said under 18 i'd have agreed. maybe im missing some evidence but I don't see the cause for a post 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonky 1940 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2021 Firstly, I will begin by saying that I am not here to cause issues, but here to bring awareness about the problems that occur on this server. Never have I seen a server take these types of things to the least level of concern. The lack of concern that has been shown towards predators, groomers, and other pests on the server is truly vile and distasteful. Many young girls and boys play on the server, and I'm sure A LOT of you started playing LOTC when you were a pre-teen or a teenager, barely even an adult. You came on this server to have fun and enjoy yourself, perhaps even make friends or alliances. This isn't the only instance where the staff have NEGLECTED evidence and PROMINENT signs of grooming or neglected the safety of the server - I don't know if its because they don't care, or they don't see a need to continue to care, but the fact that the staff have failed (especially the elder staff of the staff hierarchy) Please realize that this should be evidence enough. You can see that the victim in this situation is highly uncomfortable with the language presented. Let us also not forget that Leowarrior was happily on the server some time ago, yet was only banned recently despite the momentous amounts of ERP logs and other substantial evidence. Take care of your community and who's in it. You're failing those who feel like they have no voice right now because of your lack of action. Take some responsibility for the players on your server. 65 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
