The Situation
Recently there have been complaints made to CA and GameSpy regarding unacceptable behaviour in the GameSpy foyer. This behaviour included harrassment of and threats made to some individuals. Such actions are intolerable regardless of the situation. Whether it be here at the Org or in the GameSpy foyer, the online experience should be enjoyable for everyone. After all, we are here to play a game.
The CA Policy
CA has stated quite strongly that they have zero tolerance for harrassing and threatening behaviour. To help them eliminate the problem, CA will be keeping chat logs of the foyer postings for confirmation of complaints. Persons found to be harrassing and making physical threats of any nature will have their CD keys terminated and their GameSpy accounts terminated. Such abuse is in direct violation of the terms of service of GameSpy.
The Org Policy
The above policy is not the Org's, nor is this notice a warning from the Org. We post this notice at the request of CA to help communicate their message that the community be more vigilant in self policing the foyer.
Members of the Comunity who feel they have been threatened in the GameSpy foyer, or who have concerns over threats they have seen made there are encouraged to contact CA and report the matter. You may report an incident by sending an email to Richie The Shogun Skinner at webmaster@totalwar.com
The Guild Forums
We at the Org will not enter into debate on this issue. The issue is closed with the release of this notice. All discussions on the subject will be removed. While we fully support CA and GameSpy's stand on the issue, the Org is not the place to debate this topic.
