Eternity RPC Board
I've already seen some questions and comments in the chat about this so I want to clarify some things.
It is not the intentions of the staff to eliminate completely conversations regarding real life topics and non-RP subjects. We're not trying to stifle conversation or eliminate discussion or debate.
What we are trying to limit is the inflammatory arguments and verbal battles that have been occurring with increasing frequency. We all are guilty in this, staff members included. There will still be channels for you to communicate about these issues, but we don't want fights and arguments and rudeness on our main chat. We're not going full authoritarian, guys, but it has become clear that our hands-off mentality just isn't working anymore.
My hope is that, in time, discord will be able to appear on the board itself (as of now I don't believe it can) and we can potentially move on from chatango. Until then, we will all have to deal with moving to the appropriate channels for non-RP or real life topics that are outlined in the new regs.
When these eventually become official rules, we won't immediately shut down anyone who doesn't follow them perfectly. There will be a grace period of sorts where we'll remind everyone to take conversations to the appropriate channels. This is common sense stuff. We the staff recognize that, sometimes, real life will find its way onto the chat through general conversation. What we want is for the conversation to then move to the appropriate channel. "hey, lets take this to the politics channel on discord", or "let's open up a debate on this topic in the gentlemans club".
If you have questions or concerns, PLEASE take the opportunity to PM or message me or any of the staff members. We, and I, want to hear your opinions about this because after all, it is being done to make this community better for everyone, which includes you. Don't be shy about it -- this stuff is important to us.
