It has been six months since we have asked your opinion on what should and shouldn't be allowed on Tengaged. Although we don't always do the popular thing, we want to try and keep our resolutions in line with what the general Tengaged public thinks is appropriate for our community. Here are a few of the poll questions that we would like to post:
Harassment of a single player outside of a game.
Swearing and/or Bad language
Sexually explicit talk or behavior
Verbally aggressive behavior to another player.
Do you feel that rules on the site need to be tightened up and more strongly enforced?
In each poll you will vote on what type of resolution should be made in such cases.
We would like your input.
Can we make the polls more specific? How?
What question would you add? Take away?
Remember Tengaged is our community. The more help we have the better job the moderation team can do. Complaining won't be effective. Help us come up with solutions!
EDIT: This is your time to contribute to how things on Tengaged are run. If you don't wish to participate that is fine. In order to keep track of comments that are helpful to us all comments not related to this blog will continue to be deleted.

Recent events have brought the topic of racism to the forefront of Tengaged discussions, and the moderation team (including Randomize) has come to the following decision regarding all FUTURE cases of racism on this site:
Racism is one of the things we take extremely seriously on Tengaged. In the real world, if you did attacked someone with racist comments at a job, you would be fired, point blank. That is how seriously racism is taken, not just here but in our society.
While the current cases have already been dealt with and closed, we are making this announcement so there will be no question about FUTURE cases.
From now on, racism will be punished the same way users are punished for posting pornography - a PERMANENT ban. Homophobia falls in the same category.
Yes, there will always be some degree of subjectivity in relation to the severity of the offense, but don't test us. We are making this statement, so consider yourselves warned.
We hope all of Tengaged understands the seriousness of this offense and that racist attacks will be taken very, very seriously.
There has been a lot of confusion regarding the attachment of objects to clothing items, and the moderation staff (including Randomize) has come to the decision that designs including a clothing item ALONG WITH another object will not be permitted.
This was already the case with necklaces that were combined with clothes, and "a single object" was always the rule for each design, but now we are officially enforcing this rule. Designs like wwemrpeeps' Kermit the Frog are no longer permitted and will be removed from both the labs and the shops.
It has become clear to us that hobbitrjw26 is being bullied. While some drama, name calling, and fighting is expected and allowed on Tengaged harassment of this user has reached a new level.
Any future harassment of this user will have immeadiate consequences.
We would like to say one last time. Pedophilia is a arduous accusation that we take seriously. If an adult has sexually propositioned you on the internet you should tell a trusted adult in your life so that they can help you. If this sort of thing happens on Tengaged.com please make Tengaged_Moderation aware so that we can take action against that person.
Because of the gravity of this accusation, calling anyone a pedophile will no longer be tolerated.
The TOS states:
You must not modify, adapt or hack Tengaged.com
If you have a design that you did not buy or was not gifted to you take it off.
If you are banned because of this .. when you are unbanned you should take illegal designs off immediately.
This will be the only warning. If you choose to not do as asked you will be banned permanently
In the future. If there is any question as to if your actions on Tengaged are against the rules you should ere on the side of caution. That way you can be sure to never be in trouble.
