PSA - General Rudeness - Grimm_Wolfe - 06-17-2019
Hello, denizens of HomeTown.
It has come to the attention to members of the staff-team that some of our well-established players have been giving undue scorn to newly arrived [Guest]s. This is even more evident within members of the higher-ranked and [VIP] pools. This behavior will not be tolerated. Everyone is protected or punished under rule #1: be respectful to others at all times. HomeTown is a welcoming community to all. If someone fails to follow our rules, they will be dealt with after the crime--not sooner, without reason, or at face-value. Everyone here started out as a [Guest], and a lot that remained stayed because they felt welcomed. It's disgraceful to be in a higher position and look down on others like this. It's one thing to be cautious of new-arrivals but it's another to be jerk because of it. Even if a new arrival griefs your property, so what? It will be fixed and the offender/s punished. The staff-team will see to that. If anything, being rude to another player simply because they're new is a disservice to all. That person could be a new friend of yours, an amazing builder, or a future supporter of our server; and they're being put down for being new. We've had issues at all ranks that require a ban, even among all levels of [VIP] and members of the past staff-teams. Just because you're a higher rank does not mean you're immune to rule-breaking or being banned.
Remember the golden rule, folks: if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it. We'll be cracking down on this behavior. Thanks for reading.
