Community Values and Standards
Our community values and standards are simple.
Community Values
Our community is built on the idea that realistic Wheel of Time RP is enjoyable and best enjoyed with friends. We value:
* Quality RP, good stories and a balanced world
* A friendly community
* A staff that listens to the community and each other
* A community that takes care of and respects the staff and each other
* Staff transparency in dealing with public rules infractions
* Staff discretion in dealing with private rules infractions
Yes, the rules boil down to "play nice." If someone else is not playing nice, it does not give you a good justification for not playing nice yourself.
Instead, politely and respectfully call the person to account. Explain to them that they aren't playing nice and remind them that they can do better. If they insist on violating the rules, you should feel free to report the matter to an officer or the Lead. Include screenshots or conversation histories. After you have reported the matter, just walk away. When the staff has resolved the matter, you will be informed. If you have not been informed that the matter has been resolved, talk to the Lead.
Community Standards
Every member of this community should:
1) Play nice. Be respectful.
2) Be friendly to others
3) Avoid making others feel left out if possible
4) Speak their mind and listen to what others are saying
5) Make apologies when necessary and try not to repeat mistakes
6) Accept apologies and move on
Every member of our staff should also:
1) Serve the community humbly
2) Accept community correction gracefully
3) Defend community members from standards violations
4) Communicate and collaborate well
This community does not tolerate:
* Cheating
* Gossip
* Slander
* OOC factions, cliques, divisions, power-blocs, etc.
This community covenants together to uphold these standards.
Media
The BtP Community spans across many mediums. We use these forums, the game, social media, Windows Live Messenger/skype, and pretty much anything we can get our hands on. BtP Community Standards work the same regardless of medium.
People Outside Our Community
People outside our community should be treated just as well by this community as we treat each other. That includes players and staff from other Wheel of Time / NWN communities.
Our community values and standards are simple.
