First off, Im a bit sad that isnt even a rule yet.

 

So today i witnessed some idiot in yell.

 

Scenario being: 1 Guy says x another guy doesnt agree and thinks he is funny and says "Get cancer".

 

With all respect for freedom of speech and trolling around. I think that should be an insta perma mute. Together with death threaths, that shouldn't even be a warning. Most of us are at an age where we either know someone who faced that disease, or atleast are mature enough to understand that shit is disgusting. There is some casual toxicity as "Aftershitter" "Paragoons" and so on, which i can understand in the spirit of the game and building some community "drama" and joking around. The previous however is crossing a certain line.

 

So here is my proposal:

You want to go full braindead and say "Get cancer", you instantly get a perma mute. No discussion, no bargaining, just straight up: Bam enjoy perma mute.

 

And best thing about this is, it wont even require extra code. You get caught saying disgusting shit like that. Someone screens it, reports it. Or even post it in discord: Support sees it = insta mute, no need for explinations or any of that shit.

I remember when it took ages to get the word "nigga" out of yell. Apparently it wasn't racist because it didn't include the "hard R"(makes no difference). 

​Hopefully they can get rid of this too.

Support, it made me feel very bad.

I mean, there's not even a rule needed for this. Just proper actions by the staff team. Thanks.

Proper actions by the staff team have been taken and the player has been dealt with. 

 

As for this suggestion, I don't really see a point in it as it would fall under rule 1.a

 

1. Flaming, Disrespect, Harassment, and Inappropriate Content

Within Alora, we seat a culturally diverse community. Communities contain different races, beliefs, ethics, sexual orientations, etc. It is vital that we preserve and protect each culture and that we ensure equality throughout Alora as a whole. The denigration or defamation of a member will not be tolerated. First offenders will receive a 24-hour mute, followed by a 48-hour mute, increasing to a 7-day mute, a 14-day mute, and finally, a permanent mute.

 

• a. The use of inappropriate, slanderous, and/or disrespectful language towards another’s race, belief system, mental health, ethics, or sexual orientation to personally attack an individual or group will not be tolerated. Although we have an effective ignore system, we expect our members to be courteous towards one another.

 

and as you can see we have rules to follow ourselves when it comes to punishing players accordingly. We simply do not just mute someone permanently just because they said something once. we understand that it causes pain to some players but we follow strict rules while punishing players. This player who was muted for what happened in yell earlier today has been dealt with (can not go into details as it would be something we can not do as staff members). If its a players first offence they will recieve a 24hr mute, 2nd offence 48hr mute etc etc until it becomes a perm mute / ip mute. We understand that players do not like seeing these sort of things and we do what we can to enforce it and make sure it doesn't happen but unfortunately its the internet and there will always be those kids who decide to say things such as what transpired today on yell. 

 

Counter suggestion in my opinion is completely removing yell in general that way you never have to deal with someone being offensive towards you or other players.

This is exactly what I meant.

Classic is completely correct in this regard. If a player breaks rule #1, simply create a player report, it's quite easy, and the player will be dealt with. We've also implemented a profanity filter, and Runelite offers an amazing chat filter plugin to also add to that, so players can censor out any words that offend them. If that's still not enough, we also offer an option to simply right-click the "Yell" chatbox stone to filter it out so you don't have to deal with it at all.
