Important annoucnement regarding game rules/policy change.

The Save the Earth modteam would like to remind everyone that out-of-character harassment between players is not acceptable under any circumstances and will not be tolerated in this game. In a perfect world we wouldn't have to bring this up at all, but it has become necessary to implement a strict harassment policy, starting now.

Harassment here is defined as "continued unwanted actions from one party to another." It is a two-strike system: if we receive a complaint about a player's behavior and confirm it, we will send them a warning with full expectation that the harassment will stop. All complaints will be investigated, and we will ask for evidence (links, screencaps, etc). If the harassment continues at all, the player will be banned. In severe cases, such as instances where the harassment victim's privacy is violated or they otherwise feel threatened, we reserve the right to ban the player without waiting for a second strike.

The rules have been updated to better reflect this.

If you're having an issue with another player that cannot be resolved privately, or you have concerns in general regarding another player's conduct, please contact us on this post or privately. Anonymous commenting is now enabled on the Mod Contact page to help players who might not otherwise feel comfortable come forward to us.

Please remember that we cannot take action if problems are not brought to us directly. Keeping our thumb on the pulse of this game is something we can only do with your help. Thank you.
