This has all gone way too far recently.

You wouldn't want your personal information publicly available. Why would you treat other peoples information differently then? Try to put yourself in their shoes for once. This kind of harassment doesn't just make you a bad person, it's also against the law. This seriously needs to stop.

Doxxing must stop! The people who are doing this are awful people MUST be silenced! Bringing light to the situation will not only bring more people to dox others but it is giving the people who are doing it a win in their books. Standing on a high hill on this topic only makes the people who are involved with the LT look that much more terrible. Niko is a man who thank you'd this gladly was also the same guy who would post pictures of me on the forums, leak images of red, along with making personal attacks on people who do not agree with him.

Never listen to a word the staff say on this server past and present members can and will use your personal information against you, I can easily send you the proof as these arent claims and just another oppressed part of Zarps history. Doxxing is wrong but when the staff members who have done the exact same thing but have weaponized it is much much worse.

Edit: If I am brought up for a ban for slandering I can easily provide proof of these claims.

If you or anyone else has been the victim of doxxing, I would strongly recommend that you do report this now rather than saying that we're standing on a "high hill". As I said in the thread, this applies to everyone, regardless of their rank or "status" in the community, and we will be taking the appropriate action. Of course, there are cases where things have happened too long ago for us to really be able to take much action anymore, but we want to do our best to help out everyone, not just the members of our Lead Team, but the members of our community as well, and you are a member of our community, so will not be treated any differently if people are doing the same thing to you.

I do apologise if any situations haven't been dealt with properly or appropriately in the past, but we take this seriously and if there is any situation where information was omitted or the situation was pushed under the rug, I will do my absolutely best to (within reason) make sure it's dealt with properly if reported again. For reports like this (doxxing or harassment), I'd recommend using the Contact Form so the Community Team can deal with it properly and handle sensitive data (ie. contents of doxxes) properly.

I would just like to add that I did make a small edit to the original post just to make it clear that we recommend appropriate action legally against people who do dox and/or harass people. Some people may not like the idea of reporting behaviour like this to the police or getting any real-world stuff involved, but I personally do not have any issues with contacting the police and relevant ISPs over harassment, doxxing, etc. as people do need to learn when they're taking actions which are crimes when it gets to be excessive (if someone wants to target me personally, I don't really have much of an issue, but family is a different matter, as they're people who are innocent of whatever people are mad at me for).

Issues of the past should still have the consequences as if it was today, Tamaninja is a perfect example of this along with Niko not because of their deeply unpleasent attitiudes or their grasps at power to only blow up when they arent left alone to do as they wish. Niko and Tamaninja have a long history of doxxing, using peoples personal info against them to shut them up about 2 years ago, you can see things like this being used in americas media but only to lead peoples lives to be ruined. I and many others experienced this kind of pain and stress knowing everyone around you in a gaming community now knows where you live, your name, face, parents and other family members. Why is it only now the staff say something about this? is it because they are now a target of this? I have tried to get people like tama and niko banned for things that they have done to me in the past with posting my face on the forums or sending it to others with little to no justice. Niko is now staff and tamaninja was staff before he was demoted and then he left. People like Capone, Niko, Tamaninja, Trixter, Shae, and others have been able to do these things knowing the punishment will be either long after the damage was done or to never receive a punishment. Why? well the staff members clearly did not try hard enough and only now is it a real issue in the staff members eyes. You can ask a large portion of people in Zarp and I can assure you that they can share stories on how they have had their personal info leaked and used against them. This has always been a problem but only when staff members are a main target that is when people need to know that it is not ok.
