Terms of Service

As Written by [[User:West]]<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?14541-Terms-of-Service Terms of Service]</ref>: 




A mixture of recent things; new players, a fiasco on WW's forums, made me realize that we don't really have one of these, and that people may not know how things work -- or what to do if things don't work.

A while back I wrote something comparing this game to a bar. That's pretty much how it is, and how I want it to be. Some other games use a more impersonal model, which some people may be used to.

We don't have a complaint forum. We don't have some arbitration process. We have a bartender. If you puke on the bar, you'll get thrown out. Conversely, if the beer nuts are stale, he needs to be told. You treat the waiters and waitresses with respect, and they'll bring you drinks. Tipping in the form of compliments is welcome. Demanding the channels on the tv be changed is not.

Ultimately, what I'm trying to say is that this is a close-knit enough community that I want to hear feedback, and that people shouldn't worry about negative feedback.

Have people been banned in the past for telling me to go fuck myself? Sure. That's not because I was particularly mad at them, but because that usually indicates a situation has gone too far to be resolved amicably. On the other hand, there was once a player who I once asked to not play in my game because we butted heads too frequently. He's now a Storyteller for that venue. So I think it's fair for me to say that I think I can disagree or even dislike someone (not him) and they still play here without some Cloud of Reprisal looming over them. I've also admitted I've been wrong or apologized for things I've done. I *think* there's even a screencap floating around of me giving someone an official, 'public' apology in chat 

TL;DR : 
If the beer is flat or the beernuts are stale, it's OK to tell the bartender. Really.
