Hey.

Recently it has come to my attention that a bunch of users, including those who have ranks, have been bullying people and name-calling off the DSGHQ. Your behavior on and off the DSGHQ defines you. A few programs have already been banned from the DSGHQ because of certain user's behaviors on them. It is the job of every ranked user to help people and make this community a safe and welcoming place. Ranked users must set a mature and professional example and their behavior reflects on the behavior of the DSGHQ.

Consider this a warning, if you have a rank and cause harm verbally, mentally or physically to another DSGHQ user off the DSGHQ you will be demoted.

To those who have already been talked to about bullying on Kik, consider this your final warning.

Let's make this community as safe and welcoming as possible.

Hi guys! It's Maggie here and I'm a bit concerned, because when we're rude, or bully a normal user, we don't get in trouble. But when we're rude to staff (like mods) we get banned. It's very unfair.

Example: We're rude to Sherlock. No warning, kick, ban, or punishment.
We're rude to staff. We get a warning, kick, ban, or punishment.

But why?

Sorry for the short post, I needed to get this off my chest for a while.

This statement is untrue. I have seen staff members punish people who are bullying/being mean to regular users. Being mean to anyone is against the rules and you should always report it.

Hey guys. At the royal council meeting we discussed doing something fun that everyone can participate in and we came up with Theme Week.

Each day next week (starting Monday April 20th) there will be a theme. Your job is to make an outfit that matches the theme. Take your time when making your outfit because there might be prizes for really good outfits.

Themes
Monday April 20th - Animal
Tuesday April 21st - Prep
Wednesday April 22nd - Crazy
Thursday April 23rd - Medieval
Friday April 24th - Pajama
Saturday April 25th - Twin
Sunday April 26th - Superhero

Can't wait to see what outfits you all come up with!

* Thanks to Little for coming up with the idea.

I regret that my report had a hand in your demotion, which was not my intention. We could definitely use you on the staff once again (maybe as a mod at first).
"I recommend Cyberwolf for staff again"

Too Serious: People need to remember this is a game and that is the main purpose of the DSGHQ. Have fun and stop worrying about ranks.

Sucking Up To High Ranks: People should treat EVERYONE with respect regardless what rank they hold. You shouldn't be disrespectful or be mean to anyone.

Armies And Staff: I think it is unfair to categorize everyone in the army community as mean and unfair. I was in the armies before I came to the DSGHQ. I know some very good people in that community and Roberto is a huge help the DSGHQ. The LT leader who was unbanned won't be the last and wasn't the first person to be unbanned and forgiven after breaking the rules.

Ranks: People make a huge deal about earning moderator and I agree people should tone down the applications and focus on playing the game instead of trying to earn moderator.

Treating This As Reality: I found your response to this a bit rude. Some people need an escape and see the DSGHQ as a second home. Yes it is important to remember this is not the real world but this is an amazing place where you could meet amazing people and coming on the DSGHQ is one of the highlights of my day.

Please Raelogin.

And for the moderators debate, I don't know what it is, but I have to say...and go ahead, comment all you want about how I'm wrong, most moderators and admins are......worshiped. (Again, don't hurt me.)

Yeah most people do end up "worshiping" the staff but they shouldn't. We are all the same, staff just have to do work while everyone else can have fun. (Not saying mods can have fun )

Hey,
Recently there has been many rumors going around that Sir Cysero is a member of Sherlock's gang the Red Hawks. Because of these rumors, many people consider him evil and are accusative towards him.

These rumors are lies, Sir Cysero remains fully loyal to Damen and the empire. All those pictures and rumors about Cysero killing people are either false or people pretending to be him. The only true picture was that of Cysero sending mail to Sherlock120 asking to join his gang. That however was already known to Administrators and there is a good explanation for why he sent that message.

Cysero is 100% innocent and loyal and those who say otherwise are not just accusing him but are accusing me since he is my royal hand guard.

I hope this cleared things up.

Hey,
It has come to my attention that a few users have been using backup accounts to like posts made by their main account so they could have a higher reputation. This is against the rules. The point of the reputation system is to show which users are liked/veterans vs those are newer/not as liked. There is even a possibility of having negative reputation, indicating the user is very distrusted and disliked.

By adding reputation to yourself you are breaking multiple rules ( http://forums.damenspike.com/view/161 ) and proving that you are very untrustworthy.

If you are caught spam liking/disliking your posts or other peoples posts on backup accounts you will be banned on all your backup accounts and your reputation will be reset on your main account.

I hope those of you who have been adding reputation to yourself stop.

Thanks

Lol good luck getting through the knights and other guards. All you did was guarantee that you will never get lord again.

On April 6th 2015, Terry91 turned 16. Usually I don't make posts like these but Terry91 is a remarkable person who deserves to be recognized.

On April 5th 2014, Terry91 was made an OldCP moderator. Since that time he has earned forum moderator, Snaildom moderator and has not been demoted, meaning Terry91 has been a moderator for exactly one year. Terry has dedicated countless hours of his life making the DSGHQ a better place.

I have known Terry91 since 2013 and in that time he has never: broken a rule, been banned, complained, been rude or mean. As a moderator Terry91 has never been a problem and has been one of the most helpful people I have ever seen.

I was having a conversation with the other staff member earlier today and Terry91 came up, most of us agreed that he deserves to be honored and thanked for his incredible service and dedication.

Thank you Terry91 for your loyalty and service to the DSGHQ and happy 16th birthday!

Experience means what other jobs have you had that would help you be a good Moderator.

You seem to contain a never ending supply on wisdom. Very nice post.

The walk on walls glitch has been sorted out and /jr forest and /jr dojo were deleted.

Using a glitch to walk on walls is not allowed and is considered rule breaking. If you ever find a glitch that allows you to walk on walls report it to an administrator, don't use the glitch and don't tell other users how to use the glitch.

Thanks

All this post did is cause drama, locked.
