"Sexual Harassment. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature"
I know this is an announcement and I'm not staff, but, allow me to give some words:
Continuously asking for ERP (even as a joke) is a form of sexual harassment. People have been banned over this exact thing. Do not attempt to lucratively concoct a deal for RP with the forethought of forcing ERP through the RP because you know the victim or because you know the victim won't report you. Do not bug, nag, repeatedly ask, prod, deliberately bring up [for] ERP because that is sexual harassment.
You are not children, don't act like children. Sexual harassment exists in many, many forms and you may not even realize you're doing it. Keep your mind and eyes open to your actions and the actions of others.
And I don't have to know that this isn't aimed at any one person. Don't take this as a sign you're being outed to the community. But, seriously, don't be an asshole. Sexual harassment is an incredibly serious problem and it <I><s></s>is<e></e></I> a bannable offense. The staff is incredibly capable of handling your problem with the utmost discretion and civility. They are not unholy gods there to mock and ridicule you. They are there to ensure your roleplaying experience at Freedom is the pinnacle of excellence. Trust me, I was once staff, and before that I had problems that needed reporting.
Remember that sexual harassment isn't solely based ingame! It can happen in Teamspeak and on Skype or the forums (via PMs or rarely public threads) as well. Stay safe. Stay happy. Stay .... <I><s></s>free<e></e></I>. B-)
