Here's this week's Newsletter! Thank you all for reading and congrats to everyone on the INSANE amount of promotions!! Keep up the incredible work!

WEB OPERATIONS

KSI Global Mods Mods will no longer just delete based off of one member saying they find something offensive in nature. From now on mods will review the message or situation within the community and if the situation is found to break the community rules and guidelines it can face removal and disciplinary action as equal to the offense or if several members come forth and declare that they find a post or situation offensive then team will remove and take actions necessary if any are required. The team has received too many false complaints about situations happening in the server causing members to get upset that their messages are getting deleted and they feel targeted by others simply for posting into the server.

Examples of what will get deleted: explicit NSFW related images, gifs, text, or anything of that nature. we are a gaming community not an adult club please behave accordingly anything that breaks the rules and guidelines laid out in the ⁠【】server-rules channel. All KSI members regardless of rank are subject to follow these rules and guidelines to make a safe environment for everyone. racially charged attacks against someone sexism or discrimination based off of someone's gender or sexuality inflammatory posts of any kind looking to start an argument, cause drama, or are attempting to hurt other members of KSI as a whole.

as always the moderation team is trying their best to continue to help make this community a better place for everyone. As such they have been working hard to meet the standards of the team, department, and community that are placed upon them.

If you feel a situation needs mod intervention or needs the mods to review please use the /pingmods command to anonymously ping the mods and they will come to help in the channel that the request is done for. Please only use that if the mods are actually needed and not for false accusations. This is the best way to get the mods to come help as all of them from the mod boss down will get the ping.
