Players Banned: Mort, SSV

[DiscoveryGC Admins]

Mort, SSV have been sanctioned for:

1.0 - Don't be a dick. It's a game, try to keep it fun for everyone playing it. Behavior that falls within the technical letter of the rules but not the spirit won't be tolerated.

Consequences:

We have verified evidence of you being extremely vulgar and insulting toward members of the community. Not only that, but you've been brazen enough to display it publicly as your forum signatures for all to see. This is completely unacceptable behaviour. Bullying will not be tolerated.

After extensive discussion over multiple weeks and due to more than one report regarding this kind of behaviour, we've made the decision to place a 3-month ban on both of you.

Let us be very clear here - This is not about politics, world-views or a wish to get involved in personal matters between players. This is about preventing the disturbance of peace in the wider Discovery community and enacting the removal of people that we deem, with sufficient evidence, to be problematic.

We acknowledge, recognise and appreciate the positive actions that Mort especially has been involved in, namely in community-run skirmishes and other events, however it does not excuse the complete disregard for others that's been on display here, if not publicly on the forum then in affiliated spaces instead.

Speaking of which - we also express concern toward certain OF Discord servers where moderation is clearly severely lacking. While our Discord policy is currently not changing and we do not wish to surveil more scrupulously, we'd very much like to see better policing on a basic level.

If you require evidence, you may request such via PM from a Staff member. Only the accused or an official faction leader of the accused person's faction may request such. Once you have the evidence, and if you wish to dispute it, you may post in the Sanction Thread below. Do not continue PM'ing a staff member, as that will result in your Appeal being denied. If you PM a staff or post in the sanction thread and you are not directly involved, you are consenting to be subjected to the reprisal of my choice which may involve in game repercussions up to a ban. Blaming members of your immediate family, neighbors, friends, pets, and assorted Orcs, Trolls and any other legendary creatures may result in the use of Admin Right #CTE 750AE
