Harsher punishments will be dished out to those who are toxic and disrespectful. At the moment we have zero tolerance for any sort of toxicity. I am making this post to outline what we define as 'toxic'.
We have found that a single source of negative behavior can ripple throughout the community and create a negative experience for potentially many players over time.
Below is a list of behaviors that we feel define a player as toxic:
- Using hurtful words about a player publicly or privately. Hurtful words might even include non-foul language. If proof of this sort of interaction is provided to us, even if it took place on outside sources, we consider it toxic behavior and will act on it.
- Slander or defamation of character. Spreading false rumors about players in order to shed a negative light on them would be considered slander or defamation of character.
- Manipulating others to perform what would be considered toxic behavior. In some scenarios players have influenced or manipulated others to act against others on their behalf, usually to harass or harm another. If proof of these actions are found, all players involved could be removed for toxic behavior.
- Harassment of specific players. If the staff or other players find that a player or players actions always seem to bring them in conflict with other specific players, it could be considered harassment, and will be acted on.
- Performing deliberate actions to generally make a player's experience negative.
The staff will be keeping a diligent watch on player activities, and will do our best to deal with toxic players that we find causing issues. However, we encourage players to send us any information about others they feel are creating a negative experience for them. You can submit a report here.
