PSA: Provoking/Problems/Guilt

[sebesmos]

Hey all, this PSA will be reference the community guidelines found here.

This is a friendly reminder that provoking another member is against our rules. Regardless of how the member responds to a taunt, you are now breaking our site rules.

Insults, harassment, flaming, trolling, baiting or other similar abusive behavior towards other members of The Forum will not be tolerated.
​

Please also note that the staff reserves the right to judge your taunts/provoking and how they affect other members and take whatever action we see appropriate.

Please do not complain if your post is removed because the content is considered inappropriate. Staff decisions on these matters are final. These rules are only a guideline. If the situation arises where we feel the spirit of the rules are being broken or abused, we may take retrospective action on the offender(s).
​

Again, this is only a friendly reminder. Sometimes it's hard to identify someone's intentions through text or the internet, but if your words are bothering another member and they make it obvious they are not amused by your comments, action will be taken against your account.
Inversely, if you feel you are being targeted or harassed by another member, please let staff know about the issue and we will help to resolve it.

Thanks for understanding,
-Sebesmos and the Staff

We are all guilty of this one in one way or another. I agree with this post, we really need to hold both parties accountable for drama in the shoutbox. However there are certain members who repetitively do what they're told not to and have gotten far too many warnings. Just my personal opinion xD.

Other than that. PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO LOVE xD.

And yes about the staff thing. I see too many people trying to mini-mod or taunt back to people in SB instead of just contacting a mod. If someone is harassing you just pm a mod like sebes and she will see the SB and take care of it right away. If no mod is on, ignore the person harassing you/block them and take screenshots to forward to an admin/mod.
