Abuse.

This is as we all know the major topic on AT. The reason being we are many cultures nationalities religions etc. playing on the site.

What is deemed abusive? Who should decide what clarifies as abuse? What action should be taken?

To clarify what comes under the category "abuse" i think it’s pertinent to remember that for someone like me, abuse rarely affects me and i actually enjoy it, whereas for others who have a lower tolerance it is indeed very painful and many are unable to defend themselves or distract from it.

So already here there is a huge issue, how do we define what is Abusive and should not be tolerated?
What types of abuse exist on Arcade Tribe.

Religious abuse
Racial abuse
Sexist abuse
Bad loser abuse
Unsporting abuse
The above are for me the type we often experience here but I am sure that many more exist.
Let’s all also remember that AT is not real life and is a game site where certain aspects of real life get misinterpreted through language barriers and cultural differences.
My suggestion is actually very simple and perhaps easily understood.
Abuse should and perhaps can be tolerated as long as it is NOT malicious or intended to subject the offer to severe mental duress.
Abuse is a fact of life for us all in the real world, what we have to do is understand the manner in which is it meant “FUN OR MALISCIOUS” if found malicious the MODS should be able to deal with it swiftly without having to justify their actions.

Quite simple when you think about it.

As i am confident if the above is introduced here then i take the time to say bye to you all as my Uttak unt account will decease very shorty and I will have to annonce my ressurection on a new account when I think of a decent player name for it.

Valid post Dave, we should have a code of conduct... now straight to the main point, your resurrection nickname should be "Amuse&Abuse"

In regards to my name I am currently working on a few that may prove slighly more interesting then the one you suggest.

Being a lover of anatomony i may actually set a record and utilise a name that gets banned before my 1st victory but lets see
