| It is not possible for Profound Decisions to create an environment that is free from discrimination or harassment by ourselves. It can only be accomplished if everyone who participates in the game works towards that goal.
| |
|
| |
| Please note that most issues that are covered by our code of conduct are explicitly not covered by [[Imperial law]]. This is a deliberate design decision - in Empire we try wherever possible to avoid dealing with out-of-character issues through in-character means - and vice-versa. Our rules for [[conduct]] are part of our game rules - like taking your hits in battle - they are enforced by our conduct team and ultimately by Profound Decisions management team. Imperial law is for ''characters'' - players can choose to break the law or not - it is enforced by players and npcs who are part of the militia and magistrate team. If you have an out-of-character problem with another player then you should report that through out-of-character channels - not seek an in-character solution via the Empire's legal system.

|
| |
| In particular please note that none of the following are acceptable excuses for inappropriate behaviour:
| |
|
| |
| * "I was only joking"
| |
| * "I was in-character"
| |
| * "I was drunk"
| |
| * "I'm his mate and he doesn't mind"
| |
|
| |
| ==Our Behaviour==
| |
| Profound Decisions is committed to creating an environment where there is mutual respect and equality of opportunity for all participants. We want our games to be inclusive - where everyone can take part and everyone is welcome - and we oppose all forms of unlawful and unfair discrimination.
| |
|
| |
| We will:
| |
|
| |
| * Make all reasonable efforts and adjustments to ensure that our games are inclusive.
| |
| * Promote equality of opportunity and encourage staff and players from all backgrounds to participate fully in Profound Decisions events.
| |
| * Respond promptly to harassment and equality issues, including those relating to race, gender, disability and sexual orientation, and recognise the complexities of the interrelations between them.
| |
| * Treat all complaints seriously and respond appropriately.
