PUBLIC DISCUSSION: COMMUNITY'S BEHAVIOUR
I didn't think I would end up making something like this, but the situation has beaten me to it. I decided to discuss this with all the Lm players, even the ones who quit and stayed in the forum. This topic will be divided into different sections so it's easier to navigate. No people will be named. Keep in mind this is just a reminder of how unpleased part of the community feels ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE COMMUNITY?I would spend hours talking about this, but I'll say the most important things. Many players are unpleased with the way the community is starting to behave, me included. From the random drama, to the lately frequent rape jokes (and awkward sexual stuff in general) to even some people representing an annoyance to all of us.
Sadly, this is a thing that never stops, but we can always collaborate to make our community better. This will be discussed in the following sections.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2. RULES: DO WE CARE ABOUT THEM?The title is a good question to start this section: do you care about the rules?
The fact is, every player must care about following them, but this isn't always true.
The rules that leaded me to make this thread, as I think are the most disrespected ones, are the following:
2. No BULLYING, RACISM or EXPLICIT CUSSING!
Swearing at or bullying other players is not permitted and will result in a straight away ban. We do not tolerate bullying on Last Moon. Also, any user found using unacceptable account or character names will be asked to remove it, if they don't it will result in an automatic deletion and ban. Spamming in-game is not acceptable. e.g, Full capitals in every sentence.
3. No extreme sexual content.
We all want to have a little bit of silly fun sometimes, but if it annoys another player, stop straight away.
13. DO NOT create drama!
No drama what-so-ever! If someone starts an argument with them, simply walk away! If it's bullying or insulting to you, tell a staff member if they are online or screenshot it and send it to a staff member! Do not try to resolve things by yourself with arguing.
As I mentioned before, drama is a thing, a thing that creates problems among the community. These problems eventually lead to the infraction of rule number 2, as whenever is drama, there is bullying.
The extreme sexual content also happens. One thing is a rape joke, another thing is a ton of them. This has become a real annoyance, as the person who is making the jokes or whatever it is won't stop until they get a warning from staff (if there is staff online, of course)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3. WHAT IF I DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES?The thing is, most people are already aware of the consequences, but if you're not, then this section is for you.
1- Warning: if you do any of these, and staff sees is, you will probably get a warning. If you get one, stop right away. If you keep acting the same, you'll get a ban, which talking about...
2-Bans: a ban mean you won't be able to use the multiplayer mode for a set time. The time of the ban is decided depending on your actions. Be careful, they can be permanent!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4. HOW DO I DEAL WITH PROBLEMATIC PLAYERS?The most important thing is, DON'T FOLLOW THE DRAMA. This will only create more problems and more people might get involved. The best thing to do in this situation is reporting the player to the staff. To report someone, take a screenshot and PM them through the LM forum. Don't forget to send the screenshot! If there is a staff member online, tell them your problem and they will get it solved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5. DISCUSSION Now that I said everything, it's time to discuss the topic. You can share your opinion, thoughts and tips to help the community be better.
Rules for discussion:
-Don't hate, or spread hate of another player.
-Don't call out names in your post.
-Constructive criticism is appreciated
-Don't double post or spam. Edit your post instead.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Reminder: the purpose of this topic, isn't ranting about the community. With this post, I want to make new players and veterans aware of our situation and help us solve this problem -Aeth-
