New Rule: Doxing and Harassment
Dear Brave RO Community,
It has come to our attention that there have been extreme cases of harassment in recent weeks, specifically involving the use of personal information to attack other players online. Depending on the country, this behavior can be illegal.
Personal information includes anything that, when put together, would directly and certainly identify an individual. This includes, but is not limited to: legal names, email addresses, home addresses, business details, high schools, and colleges.
The Brave RO team does not tolerate this kind of behavior. We are implementing a new rule called “Doxing is Illegal”.
Doxing is defined as the action or process of searching for and publishing private or identifying information about a particular individual on the internet, typically with malicious intent.
Punishment for breaking this rule will almost certainly result in a permanent ban, including a Gepard ban. However, a GM will still review each case based on context and severity.
Please remember to always treat fellow players with a minimum level of respect and dignity.
I’d like to remind everyone what we already have a rule against player harassment:
Show a minimum form of respect for all players. The staff, be it support players, GMs, or the adminstrator, are players too. All individuals have the right to be respected by others until they prove otherwise. We do not demand that you love everyone, but not awarding basic forms of respect, examples of, but not limited to the following such as swearing, insulting, harrassment, be it sexual, racial, or religious nature is illegal and will not be tolerated. Players who break this rule will also be punished accordingly.
This game is more than 20 years old, so we assume most players are adults by now. It is shameful that we have to remind people to treat others with basic decency.
To all players who feel like they are being harassed:
You can always approach any GM, post a report in the forums, or send a ticket via the main website.
Some tips:
1. Don’t react to provocations.
2. Take as much evidence as you can.
3. Send your reports to the appropriate channels.
Bonus tip: When creating a character, remember that using your real legal name exposes you to potential doxing. Be cautious about who you disclose your information to, even with online gaming friends.
Stay safe and enjoy the game!
