If anyone has any further questions/concerns regarding staff conduct please bring them up here and I'll address them. Thanks to everyone who has posted so far.

Yes hello, I have one small thing to add regarding this. I know this is very miniscule compared to everything else but if my memory does not fail me, I was on ph one time and I was instantly muted by a staff member for providing someone a link to a thread that they were having trouble finding on our forums.

I get the rule of "no advertising" and being told by that person "no links at all" afterwards, but does it really count if it's our own forums we're talking about? In my personal opinion it really doesn't as if anything it's advertising ourselves and doesn't harm anyone in a bad way.

I don't mean to start any drama with this or anything, just thought it could use some clarification for the future.

There should be no issue with “advertising” our own servers. Our forums, discord, and other game modes should not be muted. If it comes to the point that there is excessive posting or talk, such as spamming a staff app link or a player trying to convince players to play a different game mode multiple times, then request the player to stop. If they don’t, this can be considered general spam that is talking away from the gameplay. Remember that general conversation is fine, as both TTT and PH communities hold conversations in game not about the gameplay, but use discretion on what may be excessive.

Some notes for the PH staff - I have seen some immediate mutes/ gags on things like the general phrase “shut up” for disrespect. Most of the time this phrase does not warrant an immediate punishment. If the player is trolling/harassing or being overly rude it may warrant, but something like “hey shut up the detective is dead” wouldn’t be worth. 
There have also been some bans for racism or disrespect that are a strong reach on the definition. Dink has said his piece there.
