@Members
 
The VHL has a commitment to continual betterment and support of its members. In response to the recent situations involving harassment and feedback that the mod team has received, we have made some adjustments and clarifications regarding personal conduct in VHL-designated spaces.
 
First, we have updated the Code of Conduct (COC). You can now find a link to the complete COC in the Announcements subforum or by hovering over the “rules” tab along the top of the site.
 
We felt that the previous version of our COC was 1) difficult to find, as it was embedded in the VHL rules, which are distinct from the other leagues’ rulebooks, and 2) spread across multiple posts. For this reason, we have condensed our COC into one post that provides a more comprehensive understanding of our community rules.
 
Please note that it is the responsibility of each member to know and understand the Code of Conduct, which they agree to follow at the time of joining the league and its domains. If you have questions about its contents, it is essential that you request clarification.
 
Second, we created an informational guide. This post is pinned in the Announcements subforum as well–it includes a link to a reporting form that allows members to submit reports anonymously if they prefer. We encourage everyone to read the post for a better understanding of how the mod team operates.
 
We created this guide to help clarify the role of moderators, what kinds of reports we handle, and the types of reports we handle. This is in response to a lack of transparency regarding the reporting process, and we felt that more information would help encourage people to not only report concerns to the right people but also feel comfortable coming forward.
 
Finally, we have updated the discord #rules channel in accordance with the previous two points. Not much has changed, but you can now find a link to the reporting form in that channel for convenience.
 
The goal is that, together, we as a community will take this opportunity to take a step in the right direction toward enacting respect for all members. Aided by the rework of our Code of Conduct, the expectations for personal conduct will be solidified and clear; our reporting system facilitates volunteering information, especially anonymous reporting, which allows members to remain protected in situations that they are hesitant to identify themselves; the informational guide serves as a resource for all members, whether new or longstanding, to better understand how reporting works and the needs that various roles fulfill.
 
While there is more information about the anonymous reporting system in our informational post, we would like to emphasize anonymous reporting allows individuals to come forward about situations that sometimes feel embarrassing. We hope that the added layer will encourage members to come forward rather than sweeping concerns under the rug out of fear of judgement.
 
We take reports of harassment very seriously, and we hope that, by clarifying its definition, we can better address the issues that some of our members are facing. Rather than positioning ourselves against the user base, the mod team aims to align our values of common respect inclusion with the league. This means that we work with members and support them in times of need as opposed to operating as an enigmatic force of power who exists separately from the members.
 
The highest priority of the mod team is to help create a community in which everyone feels welcome and safe. We feel that these adjustments and implementations are a step in the direction toward positive change in the league.
 
If you have questions about any of the contents of this announcement, the COC revisions, or the informational guide, feel free to reach out to a moderator directly or respond in this thread.

I appreciate that you want to listen to people's podcasts, and that you listen to mine especially 😁
 
As always man, I love your podcast. This morning, as I was listening and you were ranting away, someone walked into my office. I had to scramble to pause it, praying that one of your expletives  wouldn't escape. I was fortunate lol

2. Because a pizza is a circle, cut in triangle and put in a square box.
3. My mom, she called me to tell that my bedroom was a complete mess
4. From a gorilla because i am the strongest and the king.
5. Dog, because they are the only beautiful animal.
6. Neither, you are just stupid, because no one punch his self in the face.

Pick a weekend and I think we could do it as long as we had a couple of anchors lol

Looks like i am the only one here that doesn't believe in the jinx, I won't wish you good luck because you guys have this in the bag

This was a great listen,

@dasboot Seriously i just thought every once in a while an updater checked to see if i was on topic, i was convinced no one tuned into my audio lunacy. btw your podcasts are always so entertaining, whenever i listen to you @JardyB10, @fishy, @Spartan @thadthrasher or @Berocka I think man i want to team up with these amazing people. the most fun i ever had doing podcast were back when i had a team  and my players would hop on with me,  to this day i miss those crazy recordings.
 
Thanks for this, what a perfect way to make us all feel appreciated and heard ❤️

Review
 
Love the very graphic style of this one , it seems to have that new age comic look where it feels vintage but looks bright and poppy. 8/10  The jersey swap looks clean but the saturation and lighting on the face is lacking. I can't see definition of the player and it causes my eyes to go to everywhere but him . overall a lovely image  and  that DC logo is trippy with that effect.

I think the in your face options might turn more into a necessary evil, but in the end  of it all i just wanted to get the ball rolling. I honestly think that if it means enough to someone that they would go to a mod about it that they should also be willing to have them displayed. It kind of has to be a give and take scenario and I'm going to say I might be the worst user to talk to about user names defining someone for a couple of reasons,  1.) I have frequently gone by alternate names in different sim sites and 2.) it didn't change much of the over all perception of me. I know many of us go by custom names in our servers via the nickname, maybe it gets whittled down to you put (He/She/Them) in your nickname, just like people have done with being a GM or AGM for years. It's not a glamorous solution but it doesn't mess with colours or roles and people can change it as often as they like and it wouldn't be weird because people already frequently change their nicknames. It doesn't change the problem of it being in people's faces but I feel like it almost has to be in order to be effective. I think my main concern is that with subtly comes the higher risk of things going awry, and unfortunately that means we would run the risk of what was happening with no tags at all because no one saw them. Someone's feelings are bound to get a little trampled in the mix and i can just see someone pointing of a tag was present. The offender says they didn't see it and then what? Chances are the one user didn't see, yet the plaintiff in this case would still be hurt and by putting up that tag might feel they are rightful in asking for punishments for people not being considerate. The problem is no one is going to ever be able to guess how a person would like to be referred to, especially it is a situation by situation kind of thing (they would never be able to be that intuitive unless they knew you super well  or made it painfully obvious). So what i guess i am saying how subtle the VHL or users wants to be on this issue should determine how they govern the outcomes of missteps as well. It's hard to a ying without a yang, perhaps the truth is you can't be subtle and then get mad when they don't notice of check the hidden spot but the flip side of that is we can't do nothing to protect the right of our members to express their identity how they choose. Also when you consider you kind of need an absolute line to make things easier to moderate, making something overly obvious usually makes it so people can't cry ignorance so the decisions on how to proceed usually go much easier in those cases.
 
In the end i just hope that something can be found that works better than the current cumbersome system.

We have I think I meant that the majority of my current stuff is me rambling alone and that I miss  the collaboration. Literally nothing like a big monster of a podcast to just brighten everyone's day and it we can make it happen i would totally be in.   BTW you might want to check out my latest monster it is dedicated to you and is 59min and some odd seconds long lol

This guy gets it. If we win, I will listen. Otherwise I am mistrusting every possible jinx scenario.

I refuse to listen to this jinx while the finals are ongoing.
