It has become clear that certain members within this community are either lacking the knowledge or common sense to show respect for others around them.
We will not tolerate anyone who thinks it's all a good joke to harass others because of their sexuality or because of the kind of person they are roleplaying in-game.
I have seen nonsense going as far as religious slandering between players towards others for absolutely bullshit reasons.
Jokes are okay, having a laugh is okay although at the expense of another is not.
With that being said, people being verbally harassed and sexually harassed will not be tolerated on any level and you will be removed from the server.
We are all here to have a good time and to relax, no one deserves to be disrespected in any way or form when in this community and we will remove you without hesitation if you can't appreciate the fact that it's not your right to play here but a privilege.

Couldn't agree with you more, however, I'd still want to remind some people not to be too open about your personal life in Argonath, such as anything - your religion, your sexual orientation or anything like that. Let me remind you that this is an internet video game community, where gather people of all kinds of religions, beliefs, political stances and so on and not everyone can tolerate your way of life, neverthless you should never disclose your personal life or preferences on the internet, it's just a bad idea, so some displeasement with it is understandable. Though ofcourse, no-one shall ever be bullied.

Argonath is more than just "the internet", it's a community where people have made friends and brotherhoods.
We even have people sharing things such as advice qualms on a future career, the feeling they had when their elder siblings gave birth, and even a topic of Argonath players proud of their sexual orientation (LGBT Argonath Community).
Therefore, "it's the internet" is not an excuse in any case to go around shitting on people freely. Sadly, I have seen some players with over-inflated egos using this as a reason to carry on with their unacceptable behavior.

This topic/discussion has been debated a lot in the past, Mostly ended up in shitstorms....
Never the less, it shouldn't get out of hand that much IMO.
-
Well said Devin. Fully agreed
-
...and you will be removed from the server.
You may wish to change that to "removed from the community". None us stand for disrespecting users. :)
That being said, I will gladly back Devin up on this, as I'm sure the rest of Argo's HQ will too. Not only is it against the rules to do such things, but it is just common sense. (Adding to that, if someone treats you badly, don't go and do it back to them. It isn't justified, and will only escalate the situation. Report them without acknowledging their comments and you will have a better chance at getting them their just punishments).

Agreed with ya! We are not here just playing a game, we are here for making some good friends and to have a good time, so as JDC said, its not just an internet, its a home where we are living with peace.

I'm not saying that it's acceptable, regardless if it's internet or not, but still, yes, Argonath is a community, which is on the internet, and when you start sharing your thoughts or bothers with the internet, the internet rather becames a bully rather than a supporting hand. I think that everyone who has some sense would understand that they shouldn't disclose their personal life for someone on the internet, especially in a community like this, where lots and lots of people of all kinds gather. One might be okay with whom you are, and others might not. It's the internet, and well, if you expect that everyone will be okay with stuff such as someones different sexuality, well then in fact a lot of people will have to be removed from the community. Sadly, we don't live in an ideal, tolerance filled world that we pretend we do.

I'm pretty sure that one can have a good time with keeping his personal life to himself ;). I'm not supporting those who bully others, but it's just so obvious that if you say too much to complete strangers on the internet, it will backfire, sadly.

Could you also say something about people who annoys players with numbers in their names?

Now my girls could play well in peace and roam freely <3 Thanks alot man. Needed this strictly in the server. Love you for this ^.^
Claps for the management :app: :app: :app:

Players who think someone is inferior just because they have numbers in their names should go find another community where they can parade their stuck-up egos and closed-minded, elitist views. If anyone keeps discriminating on you for that reason, report them to us so we can do something about their disgusting attitude.
Some of the greatest players in Argonath did not use Firstname_Lastname, but numeric names. A good example is =P2P=9r2e5i3k. (did I get the tag right?)

Coming to a person roleplaying a character.
If i abuse, sexually harass the RP character, its the work of SAPD to ensure justice is done.
Abusing the religion and other stuff which are least connected with the RP character must be handled by administrators.
Hope you all understand the difference between Argonath government and Admin team.
-
It wouldn't be a problem in the first place if the other person agrees to roleplaying being sexually harassed, but if the victim doesn't want the role play to happen, it's not going happen and administration will step in to prevent that.
-
I agree with you Devin, but the problem is that people sometimes either take jokes too far to a point where they cause a shitstorm, or take it in a wrong way.
Tho' I didn't hear about a sexual harresment case in argo before.... lol
-
@ Ki, the problem with "chatting" is that there are no emotions seen. So you need to 'guess' if it is a joke, or a serious thing.
And sometimes, this is getting miss-compremend
-
People often take this too far with insults and general violations in particular.
Sure; Person 1 and Person 2 are not offended by calling each other an idiot, but not everyone interprets it that way.
Especially that you risk getting punished for insulting: making it a lesson not to play with fire.
The fact people are going over the line by even using personal information to pester one in a game is flat-out depressing, you wouldn't like to be put in the shoes of the victim yourself either, as one could presume.
As said earlier, do not play with fire ;)

Yeah +1
-

There are actually several people who have had issues with sexual harrassment here before. Most of them have been female players.

This is why rape must have a agreement from both parts. (This is not IRL therefor it should!)

You let your girls play on a game that is originally intended for adults? What a great parent you are.

Its not about the server/community, its about game that is being for 18+ people.

He is at least good parent just as your parents are. In worst scenario on same level.

If we want to make Argonath a better place, people must start respecting each other. Remember you are dealing with real people, not just the character you see in game. So think twice before throwing absurd insults. Embrace what the community has to offer, make it better by making small differences throughout the community. The World of Argonath will only move forward toward better future if we takes steps to ensure we are following the basic principles we all live by here, which begins with respect and acceptance.
-

You have to be realistic. The majority of Argonath players are going to be under 18.

I dont claim anything, I just highlight the point I quoted. Im aware of community is mostly under 18.

Some people are more popular than others and have a big stone on Argonath RPG, As I Wittnessed last night (I Wont Say Names) a certain person returned, and all that night Me and a couple of my friends have shown nothing buy respect to this individual and he mad a joke out of us, treated us like maggots, put us on blast, made us look like idiots on an arrest, and so much more, I Dont have much pull in ArgonathRPG but i take the time everyday to bring my self and friends on here and that is uncalled for, this is in my book the only server that I know that I Consider a "Cyber Home" meeting new friends everyday and trying new things with the time I Have left so Respect should be a priority for EVERYONE, popular or not everyone on that server is brother and sister and some of the things that occur is just not worth the mix at the end of the day, other than that, Great Server! :gand: :dance: :app:

If you don't want to say it in public say it over a PM to me. Whoever it was won't be long in doing it again.

Giving this a bump.

Respect is to be given by anyone, the duration of your stay on Argonath or your experience do not give you the ability to disrespect others. When this occurs again in the future, consult an administrator ingame to solve that problem. It's never been allowed nor ever will be allowed. Everyone is equal and everyone should be respected.

The problem doesn't lie in the game (referring to statements based on "18+") but it lies in the guy behind the screen. And I'm not primarily talking about the offensive person. No, I'm talking about the guy who goes online not being cautious enough to remember "The internet is full of differend kinds of people, good, bad and nasty." but to dare and complain like the kid he is.
Don't get me wrong, this community has developed to something more than just a place to play, but people who identify themselves with this and particularly/specifically/explicitly with Grand Theft Auto should reconsider their habits. You want mutual respect? You want harmony? Go play Minecraft where the only annoying thing would be a creep or whatever you call those fucking bricks. Don't get me wrong, respect per se would be a great asset for the server/community. But people cover up certain issues and accuse the opposing person of not respecting him.
Hell, I don't like most of these people here, I fool around and that doesn't mean I don't respect them.
-
"jokes are fine" - the thing is, both parties should be able to identify it as a joke ...

Hopefully, and unfortunately, people will understand you can't joke with offensive material.

Just bumping this
Guys, remember on Argonath we have also actual girls playing.
I've noticed a lot that if you guys see someone in a girl skin, you directly go and sexually harass them. Remember this is a role play server, instead of going to go rape and kill them all the time, start role playing with them, as they're also normal people.
I highly suggest asking the people if they mind having a role play like that in PM, before you start RPing like that with them, a role play is fine, but remember that we are here to have fun, and both parties should enjoy!

"I wanna girls in this server and i wanna girlfriend"
"i wanna girls so i can slap them"
"in their asses"
-
This thing should be sticky, as it is important for us to have respect on others.Someday /warn,/kick,/temporaryban command will be unused and removed as not having any respect to others leads to a fight and that command that i've just mentioned will be used somehow to calm them down...
We might fight each other a little but at the end we are brothers..
