Heads up on harassment and bullying.

[DogTag93]

It came to my attention today while talking to a player that there has been excessive amounts of teasing that's turned into bullying of a user. I want to apologize to the user for not noticing how out of hand it had gotten. I understand some amount of toxicity is normal here on MCP and we are all guilty of it at one point or another. I think it's important to note that this is just a game in the larger scheme of things and we shouldn't try to take it so seriously to the point of bullying someone off the server.

It's the holidays and we should be more giving as a community. It's okay not to like someone but going to the extent to constantly make a point to insult a user is going too far. If I continue to see or hear about more bullying I will start handing out bans and fines. If someone has to come to me even after they've used /ignore we are going to have an issue. This also goes for players retaliating to the bullying. If you feel that things are getting out of hand don't treat them the same way they treat you or I will punish you both.

I will reach out to the users involved to resolve the issue before a punishment is necessary.

Overall we should be doing everything we can to let this community grow and this goes for everyone, especially the veteran players.
