[Dezark]

Alright it time for me to give my general thoughts on this matter as I always do, it comes up at some point so I apologize in advance for any sort of wall of ranting or otherwise I might have in this process. I'll see what I can do to not go overboard on it but I'm not gonna make any promises..

On the regard of the bans for those that were shown..

Obviously these suck for those that they've hit, I'm not gonna try and say "screw the GMs" or whatever else for that matter, cause when the rule changes dropped and Dev voiced his original intention with "We're taking these pact actions, many of which were harassment and otherwise and we're not going to hold them against those who were reported for the matter as to give fairness." didn't go great. We all know that, people were threatening to quit the moment that announcement dropped because MANY people have been harassed plenty on this regard and reported such before this, I myself reported someone for personal harassment that I'm still learning of the matters what were spread due to a very minor spat and a decision ICly that followed after a few days following. So I was less than content knowing that someone who harassed me OOCly to the point they tried to ruin the image to others, was in blunt, piss poor in taste. So knowing that would of gone unpunished was less than pleasing in it own regard, so obviously I gave my own voicing on that and I'll honestly stand by what I've said before, if I've done something to wrong someone enough that it enough to get me a ban of some degree? That's fine. All I ask, is to explain the situation, leave out important detail of whom or whatever, but explain what the issue was so it clear to others.

So when I woke up, and than later saw the ban of another, regarding those who've been punished, the biggest perk to see was "DM ------ for info." which made me believe that they'll be given a chance to explain things on what's happened, help make it clear and not leave people in a sense of "Well fuck me I guess!" cause we're obviously humans and not going to remember every little thing and detail especially when we're heated on that regard.

I can't speak for so much on others essentially on that for if they've reached out on that or not, and to the GM team, I get there a limit to all you can do and give, I understand your following a process and everything else, and if honestly saying this is enough to get me a warning and slap? So be it but.. Actually speak with people on this regard, in regard to what been mentioned above by Muni, and the show in response of mass this has been something that needed to be done often before on this, and still does to this point.

Obviously, there a limit, I get that. I get that people might not learn from things either, but if to quote the big reason of "You continued to rile up players than it shown you've not changed." Than neither have those who actively snap at each other things and actively nitpick and try to shit on others, both in a sense of taking something OOCly and holding it as a IC punishment with others through different characters, and otherwise. Meiaquar-OOC chat in the Korvara discord is my big example to this, and if people disagree your free to voice why you think otherwise or why your in the right, but a large amount of spats I've seen, a large amount of "we want to clear this to stop this" and otherwise, are coming from those who actively do the actions, either cause "it a joke lol" or otherwise, or take it in the IC and it followed up on with that regard and brings questions to things, which to quote a specific player..


"To the people bitching about the cannon we have, go touch grass and consider your own infinite Wi-Fi Bot bullshit"

Obviously, I'm not quoting word to word, because SEVERAL people told them to chill, and they deleted the post and apologized, but more than once Dev has had to step in to the chat, as well as GMs, to tell people to relax on this front. You can take this how you see fit, and how you take to someone going "haha deal with it" to response of things as you like, but that is riling up players just as much as someone else could, and depending on how it continues, and what is said? That is a form of harassment overall, and those such should be getting punished equally so, if GMs can't catch it all? That's fine things can be gathered, I'll personally stick to taking screenshots of every log and prepare a thing to give GMs as a whole if needed when moments like these come up, cause people don't do good on showing when they're going for actual jokes, vs throwing up their wall to defend every little bit because at that point, it the same as when someone confronted for something and said it not fair and a GM has to be called cause of claims or otherwise, or when people snap at everyone hands for pointing out something on how it taken. Cause in short, what you have listed in your lore, what your rank is in actuality and how it taken across; is not globally known, followed, or otherwise for those outside of it. You can keep defensive on it of course and that fine, but when it snapped and pinged to force something to be taken when it being spoken over generally, it isn't. I have no issue with anyone on this front or anything like that. If it comes across that I do, I'm sorry. Come to my DMs and I will hash it out with you, I'm not stepping on toes on that front if no one steps on mine.

It at this point that people are actively trying to shit on each other, on either side even when things have passed with going to make pokes of fun on the end of things, I have plenty of minor irks and such of course that I could say and make things clear, but I'll save that for a later time, the only other major thing I can say, and ask. Is to hold any real nitpicking at others if it able to be done. I'm not going to point fingers and say it'll happen, we're free to hash things out but I can get where people stand on being unhappy for all of this too.

tl;dr - I got off track at some point in my thoughts during a really big conversation, but over all I want to say. I don't hold anything heavily toward GMs, I'm disappointed to see the general response given and I'll keep my fingers crossed that GMs actively crack down on people for the stuff I've seen that happening in mass that others have also been smacked for, especially for the harassment on that and that they actually take the time to discuss things with people and make it clear on where it stands, if the person has a position of any kind, be it Leaders, Advisors, Ambassadors, Eventmins, GMs even, show the community that punishment is equal on that front. Make people actually not pull the shit and such, and just be clear especially for those with shadow bans, cause I've heard of two that've happened and passed since than. It your call for all on how you follow it from that point in time, and that fine.

On a lesser lesser note, I hope things go well for you Anhita, you were an amazing player and I appreciate the RPs we've been able to have in the past, and I hope where-ever you go from here ya have a good time. My DMs are always open if ya ever wanna chat and keep in contact or be caught up on whatever, I don't mind. Your a great friend and person and that won't change anytime soon. Stay safe, stay strong and remember ya loved by lots <3

I'm sorry for coming to your forum and going on a big rant on things without saying that before and such.
