To begin, we are not a military organization, nor are we overly strict.
However, common sense dictates certain types of behavior will be deemed unacceptable, and may be subject to review, demotion, or expulsion from the Myreque community.
So far, we've had a solid team full of good eyes for integrity, and I don't foresee any problems of a serious nature occurring in the near future.
But, for the sake of posterity, I have included an exposé concerning what is and isn't allowed within the community, and advice for avoiding confrontation in the first place.
Personal Problems/Opinions~
We all have them. However, the general public is rarely the appropriate place to make them known, especially concerning subjects that may prove sensitive or offensive to some. We are here to make the world of Elyria a fun, interesting, and welcoming place for all---so please, leave matters pertaining to the real world at the door when entering the Myreque scene. If you find yourself in a negative situation, or simply wish to talk, do not hesitate to contact myself, a Myreque admin, or a close friend privately so that we may address the issue, or simply lend an ear. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will subject the offending party to review, and a warning will be given. Failure to adhere to these guidelines after a warning has been given can result in the expulsion of the offender.
Personal Relations~
Elyria will undoubtedly include a vast array of ages, shapes, and sizes in its target audience. However, in matters of personal relations, particularly those of a sexual nature, we urge caution and conscientious behavior in regards to the respect and privacy of everyone involved. Sordid, public displays of intimacy will not be tolerated. Unwanted sexual advances will not be tolerated. Public discrimination of one's sexual orientation, preferences, or opinions will not be tolerated. Sharing the real life name, photo, address, or contact information of another player without consent will not be tolerated. Failure to adhere to this policy can result in immediate expulsion from the Myreque community, with or without warning. If you feel you have been abused or exposed in a way that could be considered unwanted and/or indecent, please take the appropriate steps to confront your offender(s) in a mature and diplomatic fashion before resulting to more drastic measures. If you are uncomfortable doing so, please inform myself or one of the Myreque administrators, and we will do what we can to remedy the situation.
Swearing/Offensive Language~
Is, quite frankly, unavoidable. Swearing is permitted, and offensive language is inevitably going to wind up on one's screen eventually. This is, after all, the internet. However, excessive adult language may still be subject to review if it is perceived as unnecessarily hostile, frequent, or directed at a specific individual in a negative way on a regular basis. Offending parties may be subject to review, and a polite warning will be issued. Perpetual offenses may be subject to more severe and permanent consequences.
These are probably the most serious issues I could address in regards to our rules and regulations, and I expect all participants to be more than aware of these policies and procedures well before stepping into the Myreque ring. As stated above, I don't anticipate any serious trouble whatsoever from our Myreque members, and I encourage everyone involved to take continuous measures to keep the Myreque legacy clean, fun, and prosperous always.
On behalf of the community's reputation and those who represent it, thank you for taking the time to read this brief exposé on our rules and regulations. It is my greatest wish that it will prove helpful, and unnecessary, in regards to relations both personal and public within the world of Elyria.
Sincerely,
Myreque Seneschal
