Hello everyone,
We felt the need to refresh everyone over our harassment and in-game extortion policy so here’s a reminder.
Extortion refers harassing players with the goal of acquiring payment in the form of real world currency or in-game items with an Extra Credit value.
While we understand the social behaviour of in-game rivalries, battles, and farming we feel the need to implement policies against this sort of extreme harassment in order to provide our players with a safe and enjoyable environment.
As such, intentionally targeting (or harassing) players with the intention of extorting real world currency or items with an Extra Credit value is not allowed.
This includes but is not limited to:
The most important thing we can recommend is to discuss your ceasefires publicly. Publicly ask for your CF terms to also be posted on your wall.
If CF terms are only being discussed privately, our team cannot help. If you publicly ask for your CF terms, it creates a record that we can follow up on further.
tldr;
Private discussion = cannot support.
Public discussion = can potentially support.
Update as of November 23, 2020:
As we felt these go beyond the scope and spirit of PvP, ceasefire terms can no longer include name changes or relationship changes (breaking up/joining an RS with a specific player).
Players found to be engaging in this sort of extreme harassment and extortion are subject to having action taken against their accounts.
NOTE: Your RS is still able to be farmed. A player being told that they are being farmed due to their RS being in a SFW is not against our rules. Having the CF terms explicitly state that you must break your RS is what is against these rules.
Moderators
Please note that it is not under moderator responsibility to mediate Ceasefire Agreements.
Update as of January 7th, 2020:
This is a reminder that Items with Extra Credit Value cannot be farmed.
At this time Bento's are considered an item that does NOT have Extra Credit Value, and CAN be farmed!
This may change in the future, but dems the rules for now.
Note: While this post addresses only a single type of situation, we will continue to take action for other forms of harassment at our discretion. Please be respectful of others so that everyone can enjoy Party In My Dorm.

How should I handle my Ceasefire?
