= Harassment =
The definition of harassment that the administration uses to define harassment is borrowed from the definition of Civil Harassment given by the Canadian Court system which defines harassment as:
- A credible threat of violence,
- The violence or threats seriously scare, annoy, or harass someone and there is no valid reason for it.
“Credible threat of violence” means intentionally saying something or acting in a way that would make a reasonable person afraid for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family. A “credible threat of violence” includes following or stalking someone or making harassing calls or sending harassing messages (by phone, mail, or e-mail) over a period of time (even if it is a short time).
Remember, sexual harassment is still harassment, even in a world of blocks we humans still have our words and ways to be obscene.
Therefore, In-game "threats" involving in-game disputes do not qualify but once the line to the real world is crossed then those threats enter the realm of harassment.

= Doxing =
Doxing is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as the:
- Search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the Internet, typically with malicious intent.
The Administration takes doxing very seriously and will focus on three main attributes in any case of doxing:
- Malicious intent
- Publication of information
- Availability of information
The first two points should be fairly self explanatory. The last point however requires some clarification regarding information freely given by the doxed individual. If you release personal information voluntarily to another individual then it does not qualify as doxing. We live in a very connected world and personal information control is the responsibility of every internet user.

= Name Change Policy =
As most Civcrafters know not long ago Mojang gave players the ability to change their names. To avoid the mass impersonation and anonymity such a feature would bring to Civcraft we, the administration, locked every player who had ever logged into Civcraft with their original name. This has also given us the capability to change the names of players and whilst we have only previously done so in a handful of extreme cases of doxing, we are now also planning on expanding that to include names that include content that harasses other players. This change of rules is an attempt to bring both subreddit/forum policy regarding usernames and harassment in line with in-game usernames and harassment policies.
We are only changing what we consider are the worst of the worse.
We do not allow name changes outside of the above.
