W3C - Players Conduct On the Forum and Live Chat (White Giant)

For some time now, we have seen many messages on the forum that use bad language, insults and are unacceptable for us and for many players of Simcountry.

We receive an increasing number of complaints. Many people think that the forum becomes a place they do not want to join any more.
The same kind of complaints, refer also to the live chat.

When writing your messages, please use the same courtesy that you would show when speaking face-to-face with someone. Flames, insults, and personal attacks will not be tolerated. It's fine to disagree strongly with opinions, ideas, and facts, but always with respect for the other person. Great minds do not always think alike, and that's where the fun is! Also, note that messages express the thoughts of the writers, not the board or its moderators.

We will now take more serious action to stop such behavior.

The game moderator, Laguna, and engineers working for W3creative will increase the monitoring of both the forum and the live chat and will issue bans against players who refuse to follow the rules as published in our terms and conditions.

If a player is banned from the forum and the chat for the first time, it will be for one week.
A second ban will be for a month, or depending on the specific case, it might be forever.
A third ban will be forever.

We would like to remind you that the Simcountry forum is a limited access, private forum that is available for Simcountry players and is bound by the rules that have been setup by W3creative.

Message received and understoon Tom.

Now, in your message, you stated the length of the bans. Treasurers first ban has been for a lot longer than 1 week, so surely that means he should be allowed back now?

Thanks Tom.

Happy New Year W3creative.

Did one of the 5 word story games threads get deleted due to the number of posts?

Thankyou Tom. Are we still allowed to molest Laguna?

By the way Jossi/Tom - whatever Wendy is willing to invest, disregard her offer and contact me. I will double it. But I will not invest anything with her, so its your choice guys!!!

Thanks.

What ever Stu is offering, I will triple it.

"But what do you want Poobah?" you may ask

I ask only that Feb 13 of every game year on every planet, a message gets sent out to all paying members that states-

"Poobah is God. Kiss his feet. This is the day of the Grand Poobah. Bow down."

Those are my demands.

According to your published rules, Tom, which I agree with, Treasurer should be reinstated on the forum. It was his first offence and he should only have been banned for one week.

The rules are good and clarify things for all of us. Can you explain why they do not apply to Treasurer? As far as I am aware, he is not guilty of "flames, insults or personal attacks"

Hugs and respect

I have been furloughed from Banhammer Prison.

Yet Laguna promised me a banana, a red carpet and a marching band. Pfft.

I knew I would be left at the alter.

That's what you get when you don't sign your prenups.

Everyone can molest me with a banana, as long as I can get to keep you locked in my basement.
