Folks,
Of late there have been quite a few issues and incidents that the admins of TIDMADT feel should be addressed to the community as a whole.
The first is that of visitors and their conduct while on our TeamSpeak and in-game channels. There are 2 sides to every situation. We cannot control the other but we can lay down some guidelines and rules for our side of things. So to make things clearer for all:
• New visitors to TeamSpeak can initially be brought to the main game channel to be advised of our rules and requirements. Once they have been advised of these they are to be taken to the “lounge” by their host. On further visits they are to be advised they are to only go to the lobby or lounge areas and to “poke” the member they wish to visit.
• We are not to get involved in flame wars, arguments etc. with any visitors to our TeamSpeak or in-game channels. If you feel that a visitor has overstepped the mark in their behaviour or comments – in the first instance POLITELY request they stop the behaviour, then ask their host to have them removed if those actions do not get you resolution find a member of the game officers (WoT, DayZ, BF3 etc). If these are not online then try for a TIDMADT Admin not of your game.
The other issue is that of our general conduct. We have a code of conduct and the WoT community has a handbook that detail what is expected and what will and won’t be tolerated. As an adult gaming community we don’t have a language filter – the games do that. We do however have a behaviour standard that is expected. General abuse and tirades at other players, whether they be TIDMADT or from another group is not acceptable. Again if you have an issue with someone else use the systems that are there – see your games officers, TIDMADT Admins or use the in-game complaints system. Don’t lower yourself to their level and get yourself banned for abuse. By lowering yourself to their level you make it very difficult for your game officers or TIDMADT Admins to be able to do anything about a situation on your behalf.
Cheers,
The TIDMADT Admins:
