SWG Utopia brings to you, a ZERO-BAN POLICY. This measure is to ensure fairness to our community. The exception to this policy is anyone who commits or has committed attacks against staff, attacks on the project, or project assets. Violations of this exception will be met with ZERO TOLERANCE. The real truth is that the Owner and/or Project Admin(s) can remove anyone for any reason, with or without warning as defined in the Terms of Service.

Trolling, Harassment, Inciting Drama and Posting Obscenity's

While regular trolling is fine, in part, trolling that crosses over into personally attacking and harassing others, WILL NOT be tolerated in any way, shape or form, of any kind, for any reason.

The Exception is PvP Chat. That cannel is classified as NSFW, which is defined, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_safe_for_work">here</a>. As such, should PvP Behavior offend people, you would be well advised to steer clear and give PvP Chat a wide-berth. This exception also applies to the Cantina, as the channel is also NSFW.

Special Addendum

If a member of the community, uses inflammatory and/or derogatory language towards a member of staff or player(s) and they have left before responsibility is accepted before they are allowed to return, they must accept responsibility and make restitution towards the offended and/or injured party(ies), before they will be allowed to return.

Violating Local, State, National, or International Laws

Violating any local, state, federal, or international law is a very serious matter, and is something that we take very seriously. An example would be someone posting child pornography, of any kind.
