Good morning, Kovazia! 😊 The honour point system has shown many positives, and we will eventually bring it back as a means of rewarding positive behaviour rather than punishing negative behaviour. For now, warnings and immediate bans have returned. In addition, as stated previously, Blogs Bans are now in full effect. Misuse of the blogs page may result in your account having restricted access to the blogs page. Making blogs that other users should be banned is not allowed and will result in Blogs Restrictions - full stop. The reports feature exists, and is the appropriate outlet to filing a report against a user. The blogs page does not exist for you to rally a witch hunt against other players. This is not reflective of the community we want to build here and is not up for discussion. Our next goals for Moderation is to implement a way to reward users for good behaviour, to show our appreciation to the users who continue to reflect our community's values! More on that in the near future. 💐 Thanks all, Moderation

The website rules have been updated on our profile, with further updates to come. We want to specifically highlight that allegations of illegal or criminal behaviour, whether directed at active or banned users, are not permitted on the public forums of the site. This website is in full compliance with the Australian defamation law, including the Defamation Act 2005, where publishing unverified allegations can carry serious legal consequences for both the individual posting them and the platform hosting them. 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝗮𝘄. In the case of the recently banned user, the information available to us was sufficient to take precautionary action and remove the account. We do not have access to moderation data from external platforms and do not make formal determinations regarding a user’s identity. The individual is welcome to verify their identity privately with administration. Any public posts or blogs (including the official discord) relating to this matter will be removed. If you have concerns of this nature, they must be reported directly to administration so they can be handled appropriately and, where necessary, referred to the relevant authorities. While we may take action based on internal concerns (such as identity verification or safety risks), we are not a legal authority and do not determine criminal guilt. Sincerely, Moderation

The users who were un-permed (with the exception of one successful appeal) were originally banned under the previous moderation team, where they had been informed they could return after two months. In fairness, we’ve chosen to honour that commitment. Moving forward, we’re aiming to utilise longer temporary bans (e.g. 2 weeks, 1 month), while reserving permanent bans for bans that are, well, permanent. Keep an eye out for our updated rules in the near future, and stay out of trouble :-) Moderation

The Discord DMs to the official Kovaze account are now closed. Moderation queries can be sent to us via mail, and admin queries can be e-mailed to Kovaze.official@ gmail.com or by raising an admin ticket in the official discord server. Appeals can be filed to administration. Any hostility towards staff members will no longer be tolerated. Thanks, Moderation.

Hi, We’re currently reviewing and updating the site rules (as outlined on @Mod_Clarke and @Mod_Raven's profiles), and we’d really value community input on what should and shouldn’t be allowed on Kovaze. Our goal is to keep the platform enjoyable for current users while also ensuring it remains welcoming to new ones. We’re open to feedback across all areas, including Designs, Games, Blogs, Discord, and policies around banned users. You’re welcome to share your thoughts and respond to others’ suggestions. Please ensure all discussion remains respectful and constructive. Thank you, Moderation
