Player Harassment Policy

YNK Interactive introduces the English version of Seal Online Eternal Destiny as the first global release of the game. As such, the community here is comprised of gamers with the capability of speaking multiple languages which often stem from diverse cultures that others may not be used to. With the many different backgrounds that come along with this community, it is possible that opinions and topics that you do not agree with may be expressed and discussed among players. This policy is provided to ensure an appropriate restriction is placed on issues and conversations that could possibly be seen as offensive. It governs any and all comments made within all the threads, posts, topics, opinions, links, and expressed ideas within our forums. With that apparent, this policy is strictly enforced and any violations may result in action being taken against your account (referred to hereunder as account action). The resolve of each case is solely under the discretion of our support team and may or may not be displayed publicly.

Keep in mind that some things that might not be offensive to you may have a completely different effect on someone else. We ask that everyone be mindful of what you say and respect your fellow players. The best advice we can give on how to respond to harassment is by not responding back at all. Not every report we receive must fall under one of the harassment sections listed below and we reserve the right to evaluate each incident on a case by case basis. The likely course of account action for violating this policy will be:

• Player is given a Warning
• Player is temporarily suspended from the game and/or forums
• Player receives a Final Warning. Any further violations will result in account closure
• Account Closure

Harassment categories include the follow:

Racial / Religious / Ethnic:
Seal Online Eternal Destiny has a multi-cultural player base. Neither our support team, nor the community accepts or tolerates racial, religious, or ethnic harassment. This includes but is not limited to negative remarks made about any citizen of a specific country (native to the player or not). No slandering of a person’s race or religious views will be permitted and may result in an account action.

Sexual Orientation / Sexual Harassment:
Slander directed to a player’s sexual preference will not be tolerated. This issue is not taken lightly and may result in a warning or the temporary suspension of your account. Harassment that involves a person’s gender and/or encourages sexual behavior is not permitted, nor is any sort of inappropriate sexual references made about a player’s physical appearance in or out of the game. Both are grounds for action being taken against your account.

Inappropriate Language:
All players should be mindful of those around them and watch their language. Directing expletives or other offensive words (in any language) to another player may result in a warning or, depending on the severity, the temporary suspension of your account.

Personal Information:
Discussing your own personal information with another player is not prohibited, although it is strongly discouraged. Publicly displaying another player’s personal information is strictly forbidden and depending on the severity, can range from a warning, to the banning of your account.

Threat of Real Life Violence / Threat of Malicious Activity:
Seal Online Eternal Destiny is a leisure activity that should never result in players threatening to deal physical harm to one another outside of the game. This includes but is not limited to any report concerning physical violence, destruction or defacement of a person’s property, infecting or damaging another user’s computer, and threatening to compromise a player’s account. Any reports of such activity may result in action being taken against your account, and in extreme cases, we may be forced to take action beyond what is documented in this policy.

Links to Third Party Websites or Images
Posting or displaying links that direct to a location other than the Sites and Services provided by YNK Interactive is not a violation; however should the link that you provide (whether publicly or privately visible to another player) include any content that is in direct violation of this policy, you will be held accountable, and your account may be subjected to the account actions listed in this policy. Any image that you make public in our forums must adhere by this policy and shall not include: full nudity, overly offensive language, obscene gestures, sexual innuendo, drug related content, explicit images of violence or hate, symbols that represent hatred for another nation or people. Also, to avoid confrontation we ask that you do not post images that express and opinion about, glorify, or slander any major political leaders (past or present).

In addition to this policy will be rules listed in the forum guidelines and code of conduct.
