Test Shards Now Being Monitored for Inappropriate Behavior: Oct 5 2006 10:18PM GMT (PST +08:00)
http://update.uo.com/fyi.html
Due to a number of recent complaints of inappropriate behavior occurring on the test shard, our GM Team will now be taking petitions for certain offenses, including (but not limited to):

• Any name that violates the UO Naming Policy (link to the policy).
• Use of offensive or sexually explicit language, graphic descriptions or accounts of sexual acts.
• Organizing any guilds or groups that are based on, or espouses, any racist, sexist, anti-religious, anti-ethnic, anti-gay, or other hate-mongering philosophy.
• Using any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable language toward any other player.
• Impersonating any Ultima Online Customer Support representative or other employee of Electronic Arts, past or present.
• Anything that violates any local, state, national or international law or regulation.

Any pages that fall outside of these categories will most likely be closed by a Game Master, as test shards will only have limited support.

We are committed to maintaining a safe and comfortable game environment for our players, so please report any of the above offenses on test shards by paging a GM.

It is a shame that GM's are needed for that on the Test Shard. But I'm glad they are providing them.

Hats off to the staff for this decision. Test was turning into a complete cesspool.

My sentiments exactly....

Yeah it was amazing how bad it was getting. Sad in many ways that people do it "Just cause they can" *shakes head*.
