<center><h1>Harassment Policy Change</h1></center>

The harassment policy has been changed, basically we are no longer searching and warning for harassment. If you feel that another user is harassing you, please <a href=/mail.php?act=block>block</a> them. If they continue to harass you, mail a <a href=/help/index.php>User Admin</a>, who can then help you.

Remember that if you block a user, that prevents from them sending you items, posting on your comments, send you mail, and other various areas of the site. Also, when you block a user you will no longer be able to read their forum posts, see their posts on the shoutbox, or see them in other various parts of the site.

I'm... actually excited about this. Now I don't have to worry about getting a harassment change when we call out idiocy on the forums. :<

- If you feel like you're being harassed, you can block that user. And not see anything they're saying. IE: Not be harassed.

Then if they continue to skirt the blocking and find ways to harass them, you report it to a User Admin, who will investigate, and hand out warnings/freezings.

Horrible idea, only going to let idiots who enjoy annoying people and ruining the site keep going when they should be IP banned. Harassing people is in my opinion on of the worst rules to break. Other then hacking maybe, at least other forms of breaking the rules don't make subeta feel like a horrible place and never come back for the victims of the loser. Not that I've had problems, but some can't defend themselves, particularly younger players.

Cannae see their posts? I love you guys for that

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So doesnt this basically say to bullys its okay to get your fun harassing people online, because we arent going to warn or freeze you for it..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Out of sight, out of mind. If blocking is the option you suggest, it works for me. I have only ever had to block one person here, and it worked like a charm!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I don't like the idea of not being able to see their posts. Granted it will be awesome 90% of the time, what if they're the ones posting actual decent content, like previews fof example?

I tihnk it would be nice if a blocked users post just showed up as minimized. So we can just skim over if we so desire, but can open it up and see what it is if we want.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Erm.... okay then... can't wait to see what happens!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I had a run in with this once and I still felt it wasn't my fault. Anyway, thanks.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

If you block a user, that means that you don't want to see their content.

The other user, should still be able to see what you're posting, just not reply directly to it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Not being able to see their forum posts anymore = awesome.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

thanks keith...this should save a lot of people much hassle...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think this is a good idea. c:

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

haven't had this problem, but it's good to know i have options for handling it.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i like it-the admins. should be working on bigger things than immature people throwing fits. i love the new system! <3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

One more step towards independence for users and less work for UAs. Thanks for keeping us posted.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Shouldn't you make it so the person couldn't see what you were doing instead of the other way around?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Then don't block them.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Hm, I don't know how I would feel if somebody was saying lies and nasty things about me on the forums/shoutbox, but I couldn't see it

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Err.. Yay? I've never had to block anyone.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I haven't had this problem except once after I first started, but the information is good to know. Thanks.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Awesome. Glad this finally extended to include the forums.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ooh, thank you for that. I haven't had a problem with it yet, but I am glad that if I ever do, it'll already have a solution.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, this could free up alot of admins time atleast for more important tasks, thanks for the update
