[QUOTE="WizO_Karalyn, post: 2564365"] [b]Re: Just a few questions[/b] We will use whatever means we have in order to make the determination. It is no mystery that we know of IPs, as you can clearly see at the bottom of the post it states "IP logged". I had a patron ask me this very same question a week or two back. The answer is, yes, if one of you in your family disobeys the rules that badly, it could possibly result in all of you losing the names. I stress could possibly, as each situation is different. I don't reccommend anyone tries testing this possibility out, mind. My only advice on that, is that everyone be mindful of the rules. To be completely honest, the rules of the CoC are not unusual, and for the most part, only ask for common courtesy to be observed. Only in extreme situations do I see that it would be possible for a player/patron to "mess up" the first time and be off the site for good. And in those instances, it's quite obvious it was intended and not a mess up. I see this has already been answered by Rhane. Also keep in mind, that Pig Latin and other "non-officially spoken"/made up languages can count as well. I don't know what your campaigns are like, but I know that in any of mine, there's always the opportunity to say "well this is how my character is feeling and why they act like that". Plus, it's easier to tell on a face to face basis wether or not someone's taking out an ooc dislike on you ic, or visa versa. In a chat room, it's not so easy. If permission was granted on site, we will know. Rest assured that we do our best to get both sides of the story. No, your character doesn't have to be nice and proper IC. But, as mentioned previously, sometimes it's easy to tell when someone does the emotes with the :wonders bit. Also keep in mind that is tricky. People on line can harass a player via in character means, and then defend that by stating it was their character that had a problem with the other character, not the player having a problem with the other player. As I've said, it's not so easy to see as it is in a face-to-face situation. Also keep in mind that if a player asks you via a pm to stop either 1) harassing/bothering/etc their character 2) harassing/bothering/etc them 3) attacking the character or other things, please do so. It really isn't worth trying to play with someone who doesn't want to participate anyways, and can only lead to problems. Last but not least, always remember that if a user is bothering you, you can always use the /ignore add username command to stop getting messages from them. Just keep in mind not to "wave the iggy stick" as we say (not make it apparent that you're ignoreing them to just irritate them/etc) or you could possibly get a warning for it yourself. I would imagine this would be predominately OOC, but I can see that there is a possibility that someone would be doing it "IC" and warrant a warning. As the CoC states, each situation is different and often needs to be evaluated individually. But don't let Karalyn, Siani, or any of the other bar staff see you impersonating ownership, IC, and not expect them to do something about it. :smiles: I really don't think this is something you have to worry about. Hope that answers your questions, and if any of my fellow moderators see any points I may have missed, please don't hesitate to correct me. -Karalyn [/QUOTE]
