Lore/Melusine
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2018 11:39 pm
Attention, handlers:
After an extensive discussion following a continuing pattern of hostility, the staff has decided to suspend Lore/Melusine from SOTF and chat indefinitely.
During her time on SOTF, Lore has received multiple warnings about needlessly aggressive behavior with no significant improvement. As a consequence of continued hostility and escalations in harassing and threatening behavior towards other handlers, as well as threats of bringing unrelated personal drama onto the board and official chat, as has been explicitly warned against in past similar cases, we have had no choice but to issue this ban in order to preserve a safe and productive environment for the site at large, and in the hopes that Lore will take the opportunity to reflect on her behavior and her relationships with the rest of the site.
It has been agreed that Lore will be able to appeal this ban after a period of two months, if we are satisfied that she has genuine intentions to rectify her behaviour. If this appeal is granted and then these intentions are demonstrated not to be the case, the ban will be put back into effect until further notice.
Please remember that even in light of her current suspension, Lore should not be insulted/abused in chat, even in absentia, just as with other suspended members. Airing complaints is fine, but failure to keep things polite will be viewed very dimly by staff.
If you have any questions about this ruling, you may PM SOTF_Help, but please note that unless you are personally involved in some fashion or your query relates to how this suspension may affect you, we will likely not discuss this matter further.
