Recently, there have been multiple cases of our player's information, whether it be names or photos, being spread around the community without these player's permission.

This act is known as Doxing, which is often considered illegal, and because of this, we are officially enacting a zero-tolerance policy for this type of behavior.

From now on, spreading private information will result in a permanent ban, no questions asked.

Pr1's perm ban may be your most stupid yet. He should be punished for revealing Alpaca's name although it was easy enough to find.

Stop killing the server by banning active players for stupid shit

I think this is way too harsh. Names hardly constitute personal information since they're usually not unique. And I agree with LivLan, if people make their real name so easy to find on the internet, they shouldn't complain when someone finds it out.

same with their pic, if they post it on multiple platforms for EVERYONE to see, it shouldnt be the persons fault for resurfacing it. using their first name isn't bad, since its just familiarly acknowledging them.

You guys act like names are just some words. Spreading around someones name, especially on the internet, can ruin their life. Knowing someones name, you can figure someones phone number, address, ect. Its a big deal

Actually you can't figure out someone's phone number or address from their name unless they have also published those details themselves somewhere online and linked it to their name. There could also be hundreds of people with the same name.

I'm standing with Luigi on this one.
A name hardly classifies as personal information. you can not get anything from knowing someone's name is Jessica or something.

Plus, like Luigi said you shouldn't be shocked when someone finds out your name if you have posted it somewhere yourself.
Doxing only comes into play if you reveal actual personal information, such as addresses, numbers, work placement, education, photos. A name is extremely rarely personal. thousands, if not millions of people can share the same name.

Let me give an example:
My name is now Muhammad. what can you learn about me from knowing that? Exactly... you can't get anything.

This new rule you say... there is no leniency? so what if my friend who i met here tells me their age, but doesn't say i cant tell anyone else. i go off and later that week i mention it to my other friend in a conversation.
you're telling me i'd get perm banned?

This new rule / policy is ridiculous, it was not properly discussed. it also appears that a few very important and influencing staff, including myself and Luigi, did not get a say in this.

Personally i can say i do not support this rule and i will not be enforcing it myself. If i did enforce it, half of the playerbase and staff team would have to be perm banned.

Wow staff. Way to go! Your new rule lasted 3 days!

The fact the co-owner and owner aren't discussing these decisions is worrying

^ but you're not dumb enough to leak your own name to non-trusted individuals.
at the end of the day your personal info can only be released if you allow it to. your IP will give no one any information about you at all.

If you are so worried about your IP giving away your location, you should either change it, or never use the internet at home ever again. It's super easy to get ahold of someone's IP.

lmao, no you can't leak someones information from their IP. I'll personally fry my socks and eat them if someone finds my adress and full name just from my IP adress.

And no, Chip never leaked someones private info using an IP. Get your facts right, you didn't even play here when that whole thing went down.
