Sharvit Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) Hey everyone, Due to a rising issue that has been brought up by the rest of the community regarding people with disabilities being denied from roleplaying and enjoying in factions they are wishing to join, Legal Faction Management has decided to implement the following policy changes in order to facilitate the ability for people with audio/visual impairments and other disabilities that affect their ability to join factions with mandatory microphone/audio communication (e.g. PD/SD). These changes were implemented to increase inclusivity within the affected factions and come into place immediately. No-mic permissions will be directly handled by Legal Faction Management moving forward. While there's no particular format for this as we understand that everyone has different circumstances and ways to communicate, we encourage you to request no-mic permissions in a way that makes you comfortable. These can be made directly on the UCP for @Sharvit to review. After permission will be granted you will be able to apply for said factions and attempt to join them through their recruitment process just like everyone else. Legal Faction Management promises full anonymity for those who applied and won't reveal their reasons to anyone outside of LFM. Moving forward, people with no-mic permissions will be able to patrol, get promoted, and join sub-divisions, with likely restrictions being in regards to patrolling with a partner or avoiding voice-heavy sub-divisions. Legal factions will be instructed to alter their recruitment process in order to allow people with disabilities a fair recruitment process (e.g voice interviews being done on chat, altering formats to include said permission from LFM in it, etc). LFM is wholely committed to inclusivity and we believe that everyone has the right to enjoy everything that our server has to offer, regardless of disability. We hope this change of policy helps achieve that goal, if there are any further questions, concerns, or suggestions, feel free to reach out to us. Kind regards, Legal Faction Management Edited October 3, 2023 by Sharvit 79 10 30 Link to comment
