Player Toxicity
Toxic behavior is something done intentionally to cause mischief, drama, or harm to a community, group, or user.
Toxic content may include but is not limited to:
- Searching out and responding negatively to only discussions that are polarizing in the community
- Encouraging other users to leave the server or quit their staff position
- Discouraging players to make bug reports & suggestions out of fear of retaliationÂ
- Repeatedly having to be muted by staff or an AutoMod / Chat Moderation bot
-
Repeatedly making comments about suicide, self-harm, or disparaging comments about sexuality, race or gender
Not any one of these examples would indicate that a user is toxic and should be banned, but a combination of multiple examples or a long-term pattern of any of these examples may be a good indication.
Positive content may include but is not limited to:
- Contributing to different topics of discussion with both positive and negative responses
- Encouraging users to contribute to the community
- Considering the effort that a one puts into a post or topic of discussion, even if you disagree
- Standing-up for or defending someone who is the target of toxicity or harassment
Why acknowledge 'toxicity' and how will toxic users be dealt with?
When a user is unable to learn from their mistakes or disregards the rules with the intention of causing drama or discourage other users from contributing in a positive way, it is no longer in the best interest of the community for them to be a part of it. Removing toxic users relieves the staff of an unnecessary burden, allowing them to help us by focusing on more important issues. If a user is repeatedly acting in a toxic way for an extended period of time, they will be removed from the community with the chance to appeal their ban after two-weeks.
