Policies: OOC Behavior
Etiquette, or 'How to Get Along on XMM.'
- The golden rule of XMM, as in life, is to treat others as you would like to be treated.
- Use proper grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling. A little effort in these things will go a long way toward earning you good will from fellow players.
- Pay attention to the responses of others. If your behavior
isn't being well-received, cut it out until you learn where the line
is.
Harassment is defined on XMM as continued attention that persists after someone has asked that you refrain. It also encompasses inappropriate sexual, racial, or gender remarks.
Keep in mind that we are a community. Pay attention to and read the signs of your fellow players. If they seem uncomfortable or unresponsive, stop. Likewise, if someone is bothering you, ask them clearly to stop their behavior, so that they are aware that there is a problem.
If someone asks you to leave them alone, do it. If someone asks you to refrain from a certain sort of remarks, likewise, do it. However, keep in mind that our game is rated R, and if conversation about some aspects that fall under this rating makes you feel uncomfortable, it may be best to avoid certain channels or conversations.
If you feel harassed, log the incident and inform staff by page, @mail, or email. Logged proof makes the situation easier to judge and to deal with.
