Discord-Related Moderation

Hello Kovazians. As this site grows and we get more and more users on the website, it is clear Discord is the mainline communication between players rather than in game chat. We understand that this is a tool outside of Kovaze and we can not fully moderate every situation that does not happen in front of us. However, we are taking steps to try and moderate some of the more out of line comments that are shared to us on Discord. While we previously declared most of these things as outside of the scope of our moderation, we have decided to start sanctioning users based on things that happen in DMs on Discord. This is to keep the community safe, mitigate bullying, and creating a standard of just being nice to each other. This is not to moderate how you are able to talk to your friends. We understand, in friendly banter, you may say things that are not permissible to say on this platform or in the Discord. What we are looking at is SPECIFICALLY Kovaze-related incidents. You are no longer allowed to call people slurs, threaten them, or whatever else because they nominated you in Hysteria or idoled you out in Outcasted. That being said, we will NOT be accepting reports long after an incident. Some exceptions will be made, but the timeline will absolutely be considered when addressing these types of reports. You aren't going to be able to use this to your advantage because someone made you mad months later. Please use your normal routes of reporting for these incidents and include links to screenshots when applicable. These can be directly in the reports or sent to a moderator via mails/DM/the ticket feature in the server. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any MOD_ account (or HEAD_MOD) in mails or the Kovaze Discord server. We are there to help and answer any questions you may have. Thank you, Mod_Clarke
