Echoes: 1984 - Player Safety & Online Conduct
IMPORTANT NOTICE: This page has been published to provide essential guidance on safe and responsible online engagement within the Echoes: 1984 community. We are committed to fostering a secure environment for all participants, and as a member of our server, you are expected to adhere to these principles. If you encounter any behavior that seems suspicious, manipulative, or harmful, please contact a staff member immediately.
The internet is a vast and diverse space that allows players to connect, collaborate, and enjoy immersive roleplay experiences. However, it is crucial to exercise caution and make informed decisions about interactions with others. While building friendships is an integral part of Echoes: 1984, safeguarding your personal information and maintaining appropriate boundaries should always be a priority.
Certain topics are safe to discuss in a public online space, such as:
Your interests, hobbies, and roleplay experiences
Media recommendations (movies, books, shows, etc.)
General thoughts on in-game events or gameplay
However, the following personal details should never be shared:
Identifiable Photos or Descriptions – Sharing personal images or descriptions of yourself can invite unwanted attention. Instead, if you wish to showcase a style or aesthetic, consider using reference images found online.
Private Social Media Accounts – Your personal accounts should remain separate from your gaming persona. Only share contact details with those you trust completely, and even then, exercise caution.
Real Names, Addresses, and Personal Details – Anonymity is a protective barrier. Using in-game usernames or pseudonyms helps maintain privacy and security.
Sensitive Personal Issues – While it may be tempting to seek advice from online friends, serious personal struggles should be discussed with licensed professionals. If you are in distress, please seek help from the appropriate resources.
Age Disclosure & Online Interactions – Age disclosure can create vulnerabilities. Avoid sharing your age, and if someone pressures you to reveal it, establish clear boundaries or report the behavior.
Explicit or Inappropriate Discussions – Conversations surrounding explicit content, including personal preferences and relationships, have no place in Echoes: 1984. This is a roleplay server, not a platform for inappropriate exchanges.
Unfortunately, some individuals exploit online anonymity to manipulate or take advantage of others. Below are key red flags to be aware of:
Emotional Exploitation – Be cautious of players who guilt-trip or emotionally manipulate you into complying with their demands. Statements such as "If you don’t do this, I’ll be really upset" are tactics used to pressure others.
Forced Familiarity – If someone insists that you disclose personal details because they are ‘trusted’ or ‘friendly,’ remain firm in your boundaries. True friends respect privacy.
Blurring IC & OOC Lines – Roleplay interactions should remain within the in-character (IC) realm. If someone tries to make an in-character relationship extend into personal matters, clarify boundaries and disengage if necessary.
"It’s Just a Joke" Defense – Some individuals hide inappropriate behavior behind humor. If a statement makes you uncomfortable, regardless of intent, you have the right to call it out or disengage.
Predatory Grooming Tactics – Individuals attempting to ‘prepare’ younger players for inappropriate discussions often use manipulative language, such as referencing the legal age of consent. This is a red flag and should be reported immediately.
Unwanted Advances & Peer Pressure – If someone repeatedly requests personal information, intimate discussions, or engages in coercive behavior, remove yourself from the situation and report them.
Threats & Blackmail – Threatening to expose private conversations or images as a form of manipulation is not tolerated. If you experience this, seek immediate support from staff or a trusted individual.
Trust Your Instincts – If a conversation feels off, disengage.
Set Firm Boundaries – Be clear about what you’re comfortable discussing.
Block & Report – If necessary, utilize server tools to block problematic users.
Speak Up – If you witness suspicious activity, don’t stay silent—report it.
Remember: It’s Not Your Fault – If you experience manipulation or harm, understand that you are not to blame.
The responsibility of maintaining a safe online environment is shared by all members of Echoes: 1984. While staff is here to assist, players must also take proactive steps to ensure their own well-being. By staying informed and remaining vigilant, we can create a secure and enjoyable community together.
