Lobbanet Suspension - nour - 10-19-2021 Hey everybody. So this is going to be a bit different from our standard punishment posts, but first let’s recap what this is all about. In the SHL Runescape server, user @Lobbanet used a homophobic slur. He was immediately called out on this infraction, at which point he went on the defensive, before inviting multiple other users to the Discord to brigade it and spew more hateful, homophobic rhetoric. This is in violation of the site’s rules on user conduct, found in Section 2, Subsection J, Article 4, which reads: Code: Personal attacks, excessive/malicious trolling, spamming, language/rhetoric that includes hate speech (ex. racism, homophobia, ableism), or any comments made that belittle members of a certain religious, ethnic, or oppressed group will not be tolerated. This has been and always will be a zero tolerance policy, so we’ll be levying a punishment towards Lobbanet for these infractions. That said, HO is currently in the process of determining whether we wish to levy a harsher punishment than the first infraction punishment, due to the fact that the intent was very malicious here, and he proceeded to double down by brigading the server with people who also hold homophobic views. All of that said, Head Office will be discussing and releasing our final decision tomorrow regarding the length and terms of Lobbanet’s suspension. We’d like to release them tonight, but 2 of our members are asleep, and this is something we’d like all members involved with. Once we reach a decision tomorrow, this post will be edited to reflect that decision. Until then, @Lobbanet will have his posting perms indefinitely suspended, until Head Office reaches a final verdict. We hope this communicates that this topic is on our radar, and we’re working to rectify it, we just wanna make sure we do our due diligence in determining what the final verdict will be. More news to come, and on behalf of the SHL Head Office nour UPDATE After a discussion within Head Office, the official punishment is as follows: SHL Tier 3 Conduct Punishment: - One month posting ban - 10 game player suspension This decision was a pretty easy one to make. Given the severity and malicious intent of Lobbanet's behaviour, Head Office was unanimously in agreement regarding levying a harsher punishment against him for his actions, which we viewed as multiple, individual infractions. We're also aware that many of you wanted to see a permanent ban, so I just want to explain my/our thought process there. We 100% agree his actions were reprehensible and disgusting, which is why we levied this harsher punishment to begin with. In situations like this, where a user has at least somewhat established himself in the community, we do want to extend the opportunity for that person to grow from their mistakes and come back, even if the chances that they do take that opportunity is small. That said, this is about as short a leash as we could possibly give. Should Lobbanet have more issues with conduct in the future, he'll be permanently banned without discussion. On behalf of the SHL Head Office nour RE: Lobbanet Suspension - Benpachi - 10-19-2021 Thanks for the quick action. Very happy to see the zero tolerance in place for this kind of crap RE: Lobbanet Suspension - boom - 10-19-2021 Good step. Thanks for all y'all do to keep the site safe.

RE: Lobbanet Suspension - ACapitalChicago - 10-19-2021 Glad to see HO being transparent on this, as well as the fast enforcement with a zero tolerance policy. Homophobic language has no place in this community RE: Lobbanet Suspension - Justice - 10-19-2021 shl ho hot boys good werk out there kings RE: Lobbanet Suspension - SlashACM - 10-19-2021 was this the guy posting random shit in the shl claim thread? RE: Lobbanet Suspension - 3lewsers - 10-19-2021 This user just joined in June. We don't need him in this league. Do the right thing HO, and permanently ban him.

Yea just perma ban and let’s move on RE: Lobbanet Suspension - sköldpaddor - 10-19-2021 probably goes without saying but regardless of the final decision reached here, this person has been removed from the Swedish locker room and is no longer welcome there. |
