I can honestly say that I think that standard is not ... equally applied.
As there are some players who feel openly comfortable telling people that how they play their character is wrong. When I myself said that made me uncomfortable, I was told that "it's what I should expect from any game"

TarmobradToday at 8:44 PM
Who said that?

StarstarfishToday at 8:44 PM
Which part?

TarmobradToday at 8:44 PM
The persons telling you that they're playing your character wrong.

StarstarfishToday at 8:44 PM
Alia
In short, I feel like Gaston plays a character and has opinions other people don't like so they've worded it as "feeling uncomfortable" unfairly.
Particularly if that's coming from people with whom he's had difficulty IC

TarmobradToday at 8:46 PM
I discount any and all IC interaction because that happens with characters and doesn't matter because this is pretendy fun time games.
But I understand your perspective.
I did inform, in the banning message, that he was free to appeal his ban in 30 days time.
I will give a fair evaluation at that time.

StarstarfishToday at 8:47 PM
I think it's unfair when the same behavior is allowed by the chick who plays the IC wife of the head staffer
That ... kind of gives a certain like feeling
And then other staff's response is "You should just expect it"

TarmobradToday at 8:50 PM
I weigh all evidence provided to me equally, free of bias, which I understand is difficult to believe. If I did not believe that it had merit, I would have told them to stop being ninnies.
As for the other Staffers
I will speak with them about their conduct when dealing with players in this manner.
Because I was not informed that such a thing happened.
In the future, I would very much appreciate it if when such things happened, you could come to me and let me know.
So that I can offer reprimands and such as necessary.

StarstarfishToday at 8:51 PM
I have no idea which staff member is in charge of what
To know who to come to

TarmobradToday at 8:51 PM
I apologize for that.

StarstarfishToday at 8:51 PM
And it happened right in the Discord in front of everyone

TarmobradToday at 8:51 PM
I should provide a channel for that.

StarstarfishToday at 8:52 PM
The difficulty is that I feel like the damage is done, that player has been antagonistic to us, and I feel like it caused feelings
And those feelings got weaponized
And I feel like in all honesty they get more weight based on who they are

TarmobradToday at 8:53 PM
I can assure you, I treat all evidence equally, regardless of source.
It's my job
To be unbiased about this sort of thing.

StarstarfishToday at 8:54 PM
So will Alia be getting banned for making me uncomfortable?

TarmobradToday at 8:55 PM
For a single person, no. She will be reprimanded, however. If other people bring to my attention that she has made them uncomfortable and provide evidence, I am more than willing to pursue action against them.

StarstarfishToday at 8:55 PM
How would anyone new know how to do that?
How would a new player know how to make a complaint let alone who to?

TarmobradToday at 8:57 PM
I am going to provide an additional degree of visibility in the channel as to let people direct anything of that nature.

StarstarfishToday at 8:57 PM
But what does this do about this situation? In which one side of the concern had a rather clear advantage of information?

StarstarfishToday at 9:01 PM
Because overall: There's no pinned info about which staffer does what, there's no posted rules on the Discord or the game wiki
