Bringing story content in line with the Code of Conduct

[Due Regard]

So, I received this message recently.

No, I'm not disputing the generic in public, I'm not going to publish the toon's former name and description, nor am I publishing the GM's name who interacted with me.

Greetings,

This ticket is to notify you that you've recently had a character(s) genericized due to not adhering to our Code of Conduct with your character name.

Please do not reset them back to their previous name, this will result in a more severe action against your account. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation - please contact the Homecoming team with any questions by replying to this support ticket.

You can review the Code of Conduct here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/code-of-conduct/ to avoid further infractions.

Thanks!

 

I'm suggesting that if we are applying the below Code of Conduct to user-generated content, then it should be applied to in-game content as well.

Lt. Harris (especially egregious as he is a low-level contact), Westin Phipps, and much of the Crusader/Power arcs on Gold side would all need to be adjusted/rewritten of course. And I'm sure there's others that aren't springing fresh to mind.

they need new gms, a game master deleted my 5 year old costume and character name bc i was charging for farming lmaoooo.... then the same gm went through and deleted multiple characters costumes and names i made years ago. he deleted my jesus look alike...... bc it is religious controversial.... uh there are 3 billion Christians on the planet and half the so called hero's in game are satanic or demonic references.... its laughable and you should never ever have a code of conduct this subjective.... they were given a license in good faith by nc soft and now they are like tyrannical sociopaths attacking anyone who thinks differently lol...i just got a call back from nc soft they said they will be reaching out to me soon about these issues. i told these guys they needed to chillout with all this junk they are gonna find out the Hardway. imagine crashing out over charging people to sit at the door in a farm and then attacking my whole account. the character name was slippery turd....im sorry to tell the devs everyone and every sentient being on the planet drops a dukey every single day since inception. its not adult or sexual to have turd in your name lmaoooooo. this is the kind of thing that gets private servers shut down reverse discrimination. they should stick to nc softs terms of service period. the only thing nc soft ever cared about is what can get them sued like taking legit comic book characters and copy pasting costumes and names verbatim and common sense stuff like pornography. THE ENTIRE GAME IS BASED OFF OF CONTRIVERSIAL RELIGIOUS POLITICAL REAL WORLD EVENTS... THE GAME IS LITERALLY A GIANT METAPHOR TO REALITY IN THE 90S AND 00S LOL...i wonder somtimes if these people have actually played the actual game and picked up on the metaphoric and allegorical nuisances that directly come from the real world. by there terms of service the entire game should be banned.lol volenteer gms should not have the authority to go into peoples accounts and start deleting hours of hardwork bc there political and religious bias and i go in game and its a satanic cabal.

i mean the game has nazis as an entire arc... its actually insane to have anything but common sense dont aggressivly hate people and porno stuff and dmca copyright stuff. the rest of that stuff should just be thrown out immediately.

[BigBam]

you have people sitting around just policing chat yelling reported. its dumb asf you would ever foster an atmosphere where your incentivizing self loathing people to just sit around waiting for someone to say donald trumps name so they can ban you its actually disturbing. no other game does this bc its absolutely retarded and will eventually land you in court. while you may have an end user agreement.... the game is still property of nc soft and end user agreements cant supersede federal law.

[BigBam]

imagine if they put these resources and time into revamping the game....like mega rewards in RV.... Pull the player base out of farms and into a bloodbath in recluse fighting over pillboxes and stuff... incentivising people to move to red side... so much wasted potential... more time and energy it seems goes into the PC Liberal hivemind junk then actually making the game fun these servers would all be red day and night if it werent for these issues. many of freinds have quit bc they feel like they cant play the game or talk ingame without someone snitching and banning there account. and if you look through the forums its happening more and more

the heros are the villians and the villains are the heros lmao jebus

We don't publicly discuss forum moderation and Code of Conduct complaints.

 

If you have an issue with any particular decision taken by a GM, please submit a ticket requesting review by a lead GM.  We aren't perfect and sometimes make mistakes.

 

We try to foster a pleasant atmosphere in games and on the forums for people that want to escape from the trials and tribulations of the real world.
