When does your right to roleplay on LOTC get permanently revoked? [TW]

Ohio?

Can all of you stop derailing from the topic at hand? I understand taking up the problems of hypocrisy when it comes to players acting disgusted at stuff and having said some not so good stuff themselves. But this is not really the time or place, make a different post regarding it if you must or really wish to bring it up regarding these players. Don't take away from the issue at hand.

Hi again,

 

Upon further review of the evidence and comments made, we have decided to give Charlemagne a permanent (Player Conduct Violations) ban for his behavior in the screenshots Muna and MissToni provided. Although he has apologized and offered that he has changed, we cannot provide a platform for his redemption. 

 

In two days, it will have been 10 years since I joined LotC. I endured several different iterations of the LotC community, and I have been both on the receiving and giving end of really shitty, toxic behavior. I thought that since I matured and learned from my mistakes that anyone else could. When Charlemagne appealed, and there was support on his appeal, I thought there was a possibility that he changed. While he was back, I saw that change and I thought that it was okay. I didn’t come to think that even though he possibly changed, his behavior could not be redeemed on our platform.

 

There is a threshold that cannot be crossed, and we see that in this thread. I personally underestimated how much this community has changed in the ten years I’ve been here. I reflected on what I had posted, and I started to have a weird feeling about it. It wasn’t a call that I was 100% confident in. 

 

I am sorry, specifically to Muna and MissToni that we mishandled this. 

 

Lord of the Craft serves to offer a place that people can escape some of the realities of their real life situation. My topmost priority has been to encourage a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. Please hold me to that. If I cannot offer that to you, the community, then please ask me to resign and I will. My next step is to implement standards for the roleplay server communities we advertise in our public discord, and set rules & guidelines for conduct we expect on discord.

 

Thank you, and I will not let you down again.

Please do resign- you waited to be forced by the mob to do something. You waited to see what the court of public opinion said and then reversed your decision when you saw it was bad for you. You caused this mess by asking them to post it on the forums.

[annanicole__ 1622]

thank GOD

[ErikAzog 3339]

People should be reminded at the fact this wasn't solely Alex's decision, the original decision was unanimous on the Admin front. He was merely delivering the news. 

[JJosey 1298]

let the nasty banned players stay banned. 

[Marshi 1133]

thank YOU alex!

i've seen a lot of the people outraged on this thread previously hang around with historical sex pests and other questionable figures

Good you banned him but I can't help but feel that you banned him just to show that you're "listening" and taking what people said here seriously. You had the same evidence as you have now compared to when you posted your previous comment saying you wouldn't ban him. It doesn't seem genuine, just a save face type of thing. Regardless, the right thing has been done now.
