Hi All,
I thought I would make a thread about whats going on in the chat-box sometimes.
I have considered making it a "clan internal" thread but I think that clan friends such as Lady_Musketeer and others should be able to see our opinion about the matter and I think its alright to speak openly here.
If the thread digresses or becomes too sensitive I will move it to the clan section.
So on topic.
Last night there was another one of Heikkinens drunken chat-box sessions which was going well towards (sexual) harassment of our well like clan friend Lady_Musketeer.
She mentioned in the chatbox that she did not approve of these comments and asked Heikkinen to stop. After that there where no more comments from Heikkinen. Later Heikkinens comments where removed.
So that's a small summary of what happened and I'll get back on this in a bit.
First I want to address the Chat-box in general:
The Chat-box makes up a big part of out clans "Homepage" and as such can be considered a big part of the image we portray outward to our visitors and friend (as well as ourselves).
We don't want to create the image that this Chat-box is a free for all to just spam and fight in. Its an integral part of out clan communication and also an easy way for visitors to come in touch with us if they need or want. It is not a personal diary or vent hole to freely out your frustrations, for this we have the forums.
From now on therefore abuse of the Chat-box will no longer be tolerated.
Sure you can have fun and long conversations if this so happens but please keep in mind how it might look to all the others that read the chat-box too.
Abuse of the chat-box will result first in a warning, or if the situation calls for this a (temporary) ban from the chat-box or website.
After having received a warning, further abuse will be met with more severe consequences.
There isn't going to be a "Chat-box police"so please people use common sense.
Back to the current situation.
Heikkinen has apologized for his behavior (in another 20 chat-box posts lmao). He has suggested that a vote be held about his future in NRU.
@ Heikkinen: I want to take the time and stress that you are a well liked member of our clan, you are more then a little active and make a great contribution to our clan both on and off the battlefield. I don't see why we should now start such a vote as you suggested. What I do want you to do is take more considerations in your actions and conversations, especially on the Chat box. Your occasional outburst seem to be part of you, and they are not always a problem, however there also seems to be no brake which can cause situations you later regret.
Alcohol seems to play a major role in this and if you state that: "Alcoholism is not a disease but a hobby" you're clearly not in touch with reality and you might need more then just our help for this.
We can't tell what or when you can or can't drink but I think you should consider the bad effects it is already having on you and intervene before its out of your control.
With that being said I think the "new" Chat box rules are clear. If not please feel free to discuss them here (that goes for everyone).
If Lady_Musketeer accepts your apology I think we can let this case rest there and we expect this will not happen in the future again.
