TTT Staff Guidelines

[Menace]

A lot of cases are situational and will require a staff member's better judgement when dealing with each individual case, and as such may not follow the exact guide below. This is purely a set of guidelines for staff to follow if they do not know what to do at any point in time. It also exists so there is no confusion or discrepancy between staff or players with what punishments are to be given if needed. These guidelines are also subject to change, however everyone will/should be notified of any changes that are made.

--Text and Verbal Jokes--
Members are allowed to use offensive language and comments towards other members if it is in a joking or justified manner. staff members are not permitted to restrict or limit this communication unless it progresses to targeted harassment or is of the intention to hurt other members. The scale of this is to be measured by the staff reviewing the matter. Staff must review all publicly available context before coming to a decision.

1) Jokes that contain the topic of suicide, pedophilia and CP are allowed only in the case of a mocking fashion, or to be making fun of individuals involved in such behavior, however if this is directed towards another member in the form of harassment, this is not permitted. Context will decide if this is or is not a joke.

2) You are not allowed to reply to someone with "kys", "you're a pedo" or any other damaging claims or accusation when there is not any context that would convince a staff member that you are joking. Without the initial context the above statements are not jokes and will result in you being punished for harassment or bulling.

3) If user(s) are offended by others jokes, staff members should recommend to the user in question to block the user(s) that is offending them.

4) All users need to understand that this is the internet and it is up to them to filter out people that are annoying/offending them via the tools that are provided. i.e. block/mute

--Sidenotes--
          *Evidence can be raw screenshots and video clips.
          *If aimbot is blatant and affecting current round significantly focus on banning the person quickly.
          *if you are contacted from a person you have punished explain the reason through SAM admin respond or pm. (spam it if you have to get it through to them)
          *if you don't have access to ban, then add 1.866414801037369e+20 slays and contact a mod or higher and get them to ban the user (get their SteamID)
