Both of the below changes were approved by vote of the Board during the Winter session.
The first change to the Code of Conduct is the removal of this clause:
During events, make a good-faith effort to stay in game. Avoid out-of-game comments or other behavior regularly disruptive to other people’s play.
Immersion is largely a community effort, and as RFR expands over multiple games, we leave it to those communities to shape their own concepts of how deep immersive play should be. Please be mindful of new roleplayers or people coming from different roleplaying cultures and help them to adapt to the norms of each individual game.
The second change to the Code of Conduct is the addition of this:
Griefing, hazing, and trolling are not permitted. Do not use in-game antagonism as a method of harassment, or to carry over out-of-game grudges. In-game actions taken against others in apparent bad faith will be referred to the Conduct Committee.
