These Things Need To Be Addressed

[GingerSnowflake]

These are thoughts on various rules that I feel are not being enforced well enough and/or suggestions to improve them.

 

1. The use of the n-word is rampant and a detriment to the community. Don't get me wrong, I understand that we are going for "realistic Roleplay" but that entails following where you come from, who you are and who you are a part of.  This ties directly into point 4 below. Seen enough and been a part of enough "scenes" to feel extremely out of place in the world where this word is used constantly instead of roleplaying out with intellect, poise, class and no derogatory and/or slur words.

04.03: Refrain from using derogatory and / or slurs that could be considered discriminatory towards race, religion, and political beliefs. You don't need to agree with others or their ways, but if you feel hate and / or dislike to the point where you feel the need to harass them then you are not welcome in this community.

 

2. There is zero immersion with this being called a Roleplaying Scenario: "you a bitch cuh, not even a shotta, u pushin P's n-word, suck ur mum you blind fuck, push me n-word, push me bitch, what did you say you r-word". Adds nothing to anyone's storyline, adds nothing to scenarios, adds nothing to immersion and isn't even roleplay.

30.02: Our goal is to make sure that all players provide each other with an immersive experience, and add to each other’s storylines. While you are with the emergency medical service you will strive to provide a good scenario for yourself, but also the medical providers, please do your best to use: /me to provide the best possible roleplay and interaction to the medical providers, as they will do the same for you.

 

3. See point 2.

30.04: While interacting with other individuals and characters within the community, you are to do your utter best to provide them with an enjoyable interaction, scenario, and / or event depending on the circumstance. We are all here to enjoy ourselves, to have fun and to make new connections, to build a storyline, whatever happens within character is to stay within character, within a specific character.

 

4. This ties into points 1-3. According to this rule I should follow Twitch TOS when streaming, which means ending scenarios as soon as I hear a derogatory word or a slur being used which in turn makes me break Lucid Rules by denying the person and/or persons their "scene". There is no middle ground on it. A channel can be reported and many have in the past for what other people than the streamers are saying. We have all seen the fail clips and then subsequent Twitch temp and perma bans for allowing such behavior and/or rule breaks to happen. And before someone jumps in with "just say to them please don't use such language" it would only pour space shuttle fuel on an already big fire. 

43.01: You are required to comply with the Twitch Terms of Service upon streaming yourself, or knowingly being in the presence of another streamer. This may be located here: Redacted

 

I propose that we enforce these rules with TRUE punishments. If we clip and ship someone breaking these rules we want to know they are getting punished for breaking these rules otherwise why do we even have these as rules? As mild suggestions for human decency and behavior?

Not a single reaction or reply, I mean the silence speaks volumes....

Hello! 

The rules are meant to be followed, and if there are any scenarios where they're being broken, we need the community to provide us the evidence. Once you ship that evidence, the staff team can discuss and take actions if necessary, but we do not disclosure what the punishment will be. All you need to know is that it will be handled properly according to the community rules. 

We do appreciate your time to put in those considerations.

Thank you for the reply. Most of us that have been here for some time know that the rules exist for a purpose and again most abide by them but I am not writing about most of us, I am talking about a very few select people and their "scenarios" where they are using words that will get people banned on Twitch and are clearly breaking Lucid rules with derogatory and/or slur "Roleplay scenarios. Can I and other streamers stop a scene dead in it's tracks when such "scenes" happen without fear of punishment? What do we do in that instance? It's Twitch TOS that we MUST not allow derogatory and/or slur usage on our streams and should use all preventing measures to make sure it doesn't happen which includes muting microphones in open lobbies, muting voice chats in lobbies, hiding chats in games, using profanity filters etc. Preventive and decisive actions by Lucid moderators is the only thing I can think of to prevent and eliminate the "threat" of temp/perma Twitch bans. Clipping it and shipping it means it's already happened and a "scene" has played out which can and will cripple someone trying to make content while playing on Lucid.

I agree the immersion and good scenes are typically ruined by these terms that you would never say in a actual shootout you would yell you suck you not even a shoota you p word a word n word. It is also kind of frustrating whenever you are trying to make a scene and someone randomly ruins it by using a derogatory term especially suck for twitch streamers
