That's all I ask for, really. I recognise there's really not going to be any change in the stance, and ultimately as iffy as I am about touching things that far back, doxxing is, in fact, doxxing. It should have been a permaban then, and now it is. I don't have any problems with a no tolerance verdict on doxxing. I've seen it's effects, not been hit by it personally but I've seen someone close go through it. Ultimately you can't take that back, and going forward that's just what I expect from those cases.

I do value communication above all else, however, and a stance that won't budge belongs written down where it can be seen so everyone knows and understands that stance, and knows what is and isn't available to them. I'm sure there may have been tons of cases that could have been re-evaluated if this was written down and people knew about it. Admittedly I'm pretty sure with Detty that never felt like an official stance thing, that felt like another case of a lot of people making a lot of noise publicly until a branch was given. Similar happened with the ban wave mid-war, in which a stance was taken and outroar happened. That, at least to me, doesn't feel like official policy at work, just noise leading to new doorways. I figure the outcry here is because it sometimes leads to something, like in those outcomes. I don't think people genuinely intend disrespect to the victims. Just in some cases uproar has been the move to pave the way when there is serious strength of feeling. Sometimes it ends like this and is super messy and icky.

But yea, official stances. Write them down somewhere accessible easily. It is arguably SUPER important that new / returning players understand what their rights are when working with staff.
