[QUOTE="WizO_Reesa, post: 2564345"] [b]Re: Just a few questions[/b] It has always been the same way - if someone in your family decides to use your character and messes up, or uses a new character and gains themselves an IP Ban, then you'd be removed as well. Fortunately though, that happens very rarely. Actually, no. As before, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you feel a WizO has acted unfairly (Bad mood, for example) then you can write [email]adele@wizardsmoderator.com[/email] and ask her about it. As the Lead for the ISRP Area, Adele can review what's going on. No WizO should take a bad mood out on someone. That's unfair. We are to uphold the CoC, not make issues personal. Both Rhane and Karalyn touched on this very nicely. I did want to add that speaking [i]any[/i] language other than English [i]can[/i] be considered disruption. The site is American based and, therefore, English speaking. Speaking a word or two of another language, or a sentence, is fine. However, having an extended conversation will get you a warning. (First a nudge to speak English, then a warning if you ignore the nudge). Karalyn handled this really nicely but I thought I'd add my own thoughts.
