[QUOTE="WizO_Reesa, post: 2564343"] Okay.. firstly.. no WizO will directly ban someone when having a bad day and if they do, they deserve punishment. In that case you would write Adele and explain your feelings, she'd review the logs and issues and handle it as necessary. As far as a gentle nudge, I'll use examples that I do. If I see someone getting too close to the line (example used of discussing something sexual) I will often have Reesa clear her throat or give the person a pointed look In Character first. If the person continues, then I'll send them a PM that reminds them or informs them that I feel their activity is getting a little close. Something along the lines of ((I just wanted to remind you that discussing your activities in bed last night on the site isn't welcome here. There are young children that access this place and really don't need to see such activities. Thanks. :) )) If they continue then I will state that I have already told them once, if they continue then it could result in further actions. I hate to warn people so I try to do everything in my power to let you know you're getting too close to the line in character without having to warn you. I know how easy it is to get caught up in the role-play and forget where you are. I've had Reesa dump buckets of ice on people who seemed to be "making out" or suggest renting a room or perhaps being dunked in frigid water. That's not the exact wording used but in a case like that, the player would have been warned in PMs that their actions will result in a loss of name if they don't stop their actions. If they continue to misbehave, they will be removed (booted from site) after being told their actions have resulted in the removal from the site and told to review the CoC. If they return and then continue the same actions for which they were removed, THEN they would be informed continuing will result in the loss of their screen name and their character. If they continue to ignore this notice, then they will be removed and loose their character and screen name. [b]Remember: With the CoC procedure in place now, you will loose EVERY name associated with you.[/b] If the issue is [i]very[/i] severe (example role-playing out a rape scene on site) then there is a chance you will be removed, no questions asked and you will loose your names. If a WizO ever speaks to you in the manner you said, and you feel they should not have, write Adele and explain your situation. She will discuss it with whatever WizO is in question, review the logs of the chat, and will then handle the issue in whatever manner she feels is necessary. I hope that helps explain things a little better. I can't give you the [i]exact[/i] process or wording for [i]every[/i] issue as they do vary depending on the issue itself. If you do have specific questions, you can always ask Adele in a private email and she can reply for you. The bottom line is that a bad mood is no excuse to be rude or unfair. Everyone should always be treated with respect - WizO or regular patron. Thanks Reesa [/QUOTE]
