ALL Your Character Names: SizzurpCode Last thing you did: Zakum Why do you think you got banned?: no idea Ban message when attempting to log in: Your account has been blocked for harassment What GM banned you (optional): I hope this is a confuusion because today i have not talked to anyone
Thank you for your quick reply. It looks like you have been temporarily banned for Objectionable Behavior for your decision to whisper a player inappropriate sexual remarks in Spanish on the character SizzurpCode. Spoiler: MapleRoyals TOS Minor Infractions: Objectionable Behavior Punishment: First offense - 3-day ban, Second offense - 7-day ban, Third offense - 30-day ban, Subsequent offenses - 90-day ban Objectionable Behavior - The act of insulting, threatening, or harassing other players or Staff, or engaging in speech that is vulgar, defamatory, obscene, hateful, discriminatory, or derogatory on the basis of personal identity - including, but not limited to, race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, and national origin - irrespective of the language used. Additionally, the act of "spamming" or "flooding" with chat or skills, or any other action that is excessively disruptive to the individuals around you, as well as transmitting any sort of content that is inappropriate, sexually explicit, or privately owned. There are multiple scenarios in which harassment can be defined. Persistence and level of aggression are two major factors - constant harassment over a long period of time will likely qualify a player as having broken this rule, or alternatively a strongly objectionable statement or group of statements over a short period of time. Persistent mass defamation will be considered no less than two defames by an individual and may also include asking, paying, or otherwise incentivizing other players to defame another individual. Be aware that the use of certain words, and any variation on them, will result in a ban if they were uttered in a public space (defined as all chat, megaphones, omok games, hired merchants, stores, chalkboards, etc.), regardless of whether or not they were used in a targeted manner. In private spaces (defined as party chat, buddy chat, guild chat, alliance chat, spouse chat, whisper) these terms will be considered a bannable offense only if used in a targetted manner and the target files a report.
Could you know what that comment was? And so don't make the same mistake again because I really don't remember saying anything strange
I'm unable to provide you with a quote that resulted in your temporary ban. I know it might be counterproductive if you wish to learn from this incident, however, the staff would like to maintain the anonymity of the reporter first and foremost. I would like to add that a good rule of thumb is to avoid vulgar comments as we do expect our players to treat others the way they wish to be treated.
