Harassment

Harassment is not tolerated on The Two Towers, including any and all forms of sexual harassment. We will not allow harassment on the basis of gender, ideas, nationality, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or any other manner which interferes with the ability of another person to enjoy the game (such as "levelbashing","killstealing", or the like).

Generally, if someone asks you to stop and you don't, then it can be considered harassment unless it is a normal part of the game such as solitary playerkilling.

Disagreements and arguments can sometimes escalate into harassment. If this happens, the "ignore" command is provided to help you deal with this situation, so please use it as your first line of defense.

While no one is required to be nice to others, consistently insulting and/or baiting an individual or group qualifies as harassment and will be handled as such. This ties in with #14 (Troublemaking clause) in 'help rules'. Repeatedly taunting your fellow players until they react angrily, for your own entertainment, is not acceptable and does not foster the sort of gameplay environment that we want this MUD to have. Note: this does NOT mean that you should come running to the ainur every time someone is mean to you. This is about REPEATED, CONSISTENT insults and abuse.

In addition, any form of Real-Life threats will be treated as harassment and punished accordingly, and if necessary will be reported to appropriate law enforcement agencies.

If you find yourself a victim of harassment, you can use the "harass" command to report the incident to the administration for their review, as well as use of the 'law' command to file a law report.
