There has been a lot of argueing and tension among the players of Zone, so I've taken the time to assort together some rules about harassment rules for Zone and some guidelines for my fellow staff members.
Verbal Abuse
This, naturally, is not tolerated. If you start insulting someone over teamchat, PMs, whatever, then expect a warning. If you continue to disrupt another player or staff member you will be locked. No unsticking, no kicking. If you do not take note of your first warning you will be locked and
STAY locked for the entire hour. Any apologies/begging after the locking will be disregarded.
Some guideline examples of the abuse that count as offenses are the following:
- Swearing excessively at an individual
- Making any amount of sexual remarks towards an individual
- Bashing the management via text/teamchat, mass messages, nicknames or any other method
- Making racist/prejudice remarks against others
Forum Posts
If you begin to break any of the rules (Above) on this
forum, then your threads will be locked/deleted and so will your posts. If you make any kind of thread or post bashing the management then you will receive 3 infractions straight away, resulting in a forum ban. If you continue the thread's/post's purpose in-game then you will receive a local ban.
I need not make some guidelines for the other staff members as I will take all of this kind of harassment into my own hands.

So, for some, these rules that have been put in place won't be a problem. However, for the more 'lively' characters, these rules will stick hard to you.
