Throughout the past few months, our team has seen repeated instances of inappropriate behavior between players. It is important that even though our characters may be in different circles, we treat our fellow community members with respect and dignity. No one specific instance has propagated this post, but nevertheless we still would like to offer a friendly reminder of our Player Conduct Policy.
The Player Conduct Policy is a set of guidelines and rules that all of us follow to avoid behavior considered unacceptable within the LOTC community. It can be found here. Players that breach this policy can receive a Player Conduct Violation. Players may not threaten, harass (sexually or otherwise), discriminate, use derogatory slurs, or make false statements against other players with the intent to harm their reputation. If you are unaware of exactly what we mean by all of these terms, please take a look at the link above.
It is impossible to list every situation and behavior which can be considered harassment. That said, any behavior that creates an uncomfortable or hostile environment is not welcomed in this community. A few examples of situations that have occurred, but should not be occurring are:
- Messaging minors with a sexual undertone.
- Messaging anyone with unwanted sexual comments.
- Calling anyone racial slurs or alluding to it.
- Any sort of gender harassment.
- Cyberbullying.
- Repeated verbal attacks.
- Being disrespectful towards any religion.
Lord of the Craft is a server which is meant to allow for limitless creation and for expanding your horizons. Everyone is here to have a great time and to meet new friends across the world. In order to accomplish this, we must act in accordance with our Player Conduct Policy. Remember that no person is the same; we all experience different things in our lives. Furthermore, the game we have created as a community is not one that is competitive in nature — unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated on Lord of the Craft. We are all here to have fun, so please be considerate and mindful of each other.
If you or someone you know would like to report any situations like this, please message one of our moderators. If it is a more intense case, please send it to the admins or ask a moderator to pass it up to an admin.
