✗PROBLEMS





P R O B L E M S

If you have a problem and you can't reach one of the mods, please comment here. Feel free to comment if you have a problem with an action that a mod has taken. Mods may be in a game to keep the players in line and make sure they follow the rules, but players should feel comfortable about pointing out if a mod has made a mistake. We keep you in line and you keep us in line, right?

The comments WILL be screened & will be deleted once the problem is dealt with. Anonymous comments are allowed, but we'll need to unscreen them for you to see our reply.

If there is a character in the Poly world that is taken from a source material that one personally finds offensive or derogatory, are you still obliged to interact with that character if they approach one of your characters, even if it makes you really uncomfortable to do so?

You are not obligated to interact with any character, however, we would encourage you to approach the player of the character in advance to stave off any misunderstanding or hard feelings.

Let me step out of the mod anonymity for a moment and say this is Jade. I understand that I am playing a character from a controversial movie that may offend some people. If, as an example, someone was offended by Dogma, I would appreciate knowing that they would rather not interact with the Metatron, as I would rather not impose an "offensive" character on theirs.

I would hope that other players could be as understanding if they were approached in a non-accusatory manner.
