Crime & Punishment

[GM-Ayu]

I am sad to see that the only thing people have seen as important to discuss in this topic is the issue of the names.

The issue of LoA's guild chat being watched really still bothers me and I feel it hasn't been fully addressed.??Under what circumstances will GM's check logs of any chat of a player, or a guild, or a party???Also, can the players use things from outside of HeRO (example, forums of another guild) be used to report players?????

We intervene into guild chats under these circumstances
-the day of Trial of Heroes (check for answer cheating, passing info about what monsters is in monster trial, trivia, etc)
-when "objectivity fails": when statistics will show both innocent and guilty to be the same, such as Silv's case regarding IP addresses showing up in other accounts that is not "Silvanel," the intention of naming. We go to conversation logs to see the context.
-when verifying the accusation of a report
-when verifying if there is 'hidden agenda' behind a report for the one reporting, if a GM(s) grows suspicious of this (hunting "rulesharks")
-random sampling of guild chat (for this one, we have nothing to say but 'trust in us'. Refer to my super long post that half the people here didn't read within this thread about it.)


Reports regarding ingame activities are always based on an unedited screenshots, unless a vast majority of server can all testify (such as extremely insulting statement on @main, where even if you got no screenshot, half the server heard you). We do not judge on how the screenshot is obtained from members, but as long as it is a screenshot of heRO and it has not been edited in any method.

GMs will not actively seek screenshots outside of their own in-game moderating time, playing period with their legits or guild forums that are within heRO server forum domain.

Do keep in mind that no GMs ever want to read conversation logs. I'm sure that Auron will agree with me that reading 33000+ pages of 16 million words (I think Aki tried to open the file but her comp just dies on her because it's that big) that are not in paragraph or has any blank spaces in between them is a royal pain to spend a week on. We will gladly use the time to do events or actually train our legits, like all of you.


I'm out of time as I need to head off now, I'll talk about emotional scarring next time.
