Managing Playspace Best Practices

Muting

Players can mute other players from the big board in-game.  There is a mute button that can be toggled.  The mute setting persists between sessions and is stored locally.  The setting needs to be re-enabled if the game is uninstalled from the device.

To mute all players, Human voice can be disabled from the in-game computer and replaced by fun Monkey sounds.

Reporting

In-game, players can report other players that are not following the Code of Conduct at the big board. Please report any player that is not following the Code - Every report helps flag players that need to be reviewed for a ban-worthy offense.

You must be a member of the Discord channel to access the form. Players can be reported outside of the game with this form:

REPORTING FORM

BAns

We hold our Code of Conduct and treat bans seriously.  If a player is determined to not be following the rules, we will issue bans aggressively with escalating time durations.

Some things to note:
1. Players will be given a specific reason for a ban on the red message board.  When submitting an appeal, please reference the exact wording on the board so the Appeals team knows exactly which ban to look up.
2. Ganging up on a player and spam or mass reporting them does not affect our decision making process.  We consider context when reviewing reports and look out for that behavior specifically.
3. Many Bans are issued for patterns of behavior.  If an appeal is for a specific incident, the player’s past behavior and prior ban history are considered.
4. Any report by a trusted witness is more likely to be acted upon.

Appeals

A ban appeal can be made by visiting our

BAN APPEAL FORM

Appeals are handled by the Appeals Team.  This team is intentionally separate from any of the Gorilla Tag team that have day-to-day interactions with customers.  Developers, Community Moderators, Volunteer Moderators, Stick or Twigs do not participate in the review process.  Do not contact them about appeals or additional restrictions may be applied.

Players must provide accurate information in their appeal.  If the Appeals Team is unable to locate their account because of incorrect information, the appeal will be denied.
