III. PROBLEMS WITH MEMBERS OR STAFF
If you have issues with another member, or even someone on staff, please try to solve things off the public boards. That means, please keep it to PMs or IMs. If you find that you are unable to solve the issue in this manner, contact an admin or mod to assist you in mediation. We want everyone to have fun here, so let’s do our best to keep the place positive and work out our troubles quickly and quietly so as not to disturb the other members.

This has been an issue as of late, so an addendum has been added to the General Site Etiquette and Conduct Guidelines that goes into more details about such things.
03. Concerning Harassment
Harassment comes in a few forms. It can be pestering a member via PMs or IMs or emails. It can be public and done by posting remarks in one’s request thread. In general, harassment is anything that makes another member feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Any time such instances are brought to staff’s attention, staff will do their best to listen and gather as much information as possible. They will also get info from the member in question, since it’s only fair to hear things out from both sides, especially if it’s a first time offense. Staff will do their best to assess the situation and let members know if they’re being to sensitive or not and/or what to do to remedy the situation so that they feel both comfortable and safe once more. We want BMR to be a fun and safe place for all members. So, if someone is having a problem, PLEASE inform staff as soon as possible. This cannot be stressed enough.
If you are reported for having harassed a member and it’s indeed found that the accusation is justified, you will be given both a verbal/PM warning along with an official warning of 20%/no exp. If you continue to make trouble, you will receive a week temp ban. If more trouble persists (thus giving you a track record), you will receive another verbal/PM warning along with an official warning upping it to 50%/no exp and a month temp ban. If the behavior continues after such measures have been taken, you will be permabanned. End of story. BMR is meant for people to escape and delve into their creativity for a while, to have fun and feel safe while enjoying what the site has to offer. That said, harassment will NOT be tolerated and no amount of begging will change the way in which staff proceeds in handling such cases. If there’s an extreme case that’s brought to staff’s attention, with proof, etc. then harsher actions (eg. permabanning) will be instated without warning.
