This message is a reminder to always keep yourself safe online (not an ad for nord vpn I promise),
There as been some .exe files spreading around in the gtag community that go by many names, NEVER DOWNLOAD FILES FROM AN UNTRESTED SOURCE, they can cause big damage to your computer and steal your data. All gtag mods come in either a .zip file or as a .dll
Thank you for your time and make sure to be weary of nefarious activities online. - Message ~~stolen ~~ borrowed from [TTT] Papa Smurf
TLDR "Watch out and be safe theres some bad people sending fake mods"

Discord Moderation
We truly value and are thankful for the enthusiasm and proactive nature of our members in wanting to contribute to the community. However, it is important to recognize that the enforcement of rules is a sensitive matter that requires a careful balance and a deep understanding of the community guidelines. Navigating the intricacies of diverse situations especially those that are not apparent to the wider community, to maintain consistency in rule enforcement is not a straightforward task.
To address this, we have dedicated moderators and community moderators. This ensures that the process of enforcing the rules is carried out in a manner that is impartial, fair, recorded, and consistent. Our team is adept at evaluating the nuances and contexts of various situations to make well-informed decisions.
Please do not take it upon yourself to command or reprimand other users.
That said, we do not underestimate the importance of the role that our members play in this community. We **highly **appreciate it when you keep an eye out for potential rule violations and report them. Your vigilance enables the moderation team to act swiftly in addressing concerns and implementing necessary actions.

VC's are shut on account of the number of people who cant follow the simple rules in there. We will open them again soon.

As part of the change and growth of our community, we are experiencing some changes to our moderation team.
First, we want to extend our gratitude to two sticks who recently resigned, Jolyne and Boda. They have each added their unique styles to make this space more engaging, more welcoming. Their dedication and passion have helped shape this community into what it is today, and for that, we cannot thank them enough.
Your contributions have truly made a difference, and while we are sad to see you step down, we respect your decision and wish you all the best in your future. You will always be part of the game and community's history.
Now, in the discords new chapter, we are introducing two new twigs who will be joining our team, @rigid cave and @drifting trail . Both come with a fresh perspective, enthusiasm, and a shared commitment to foster an engaging and positive environment for our community members.

Moderator Interventions
We reserve the right to take any action we deem fit to keep the discord a safe and positive environment. It is at our discretion on the level of intervention used. Even if content or actions of a member might not explicitly violate the rules, the intent behind the actions also counts.

Creators have a special role in our community. We believe they should use their influence to uplift each other. This goes for our players, too. Gorilla Tag is meant to be a space for all, and we do not support anyone who goes against that.

The situation has been resolved the bans will have stopped. this only caused 'Ban Evasion' bans, people who's accounts where affected will be unbanned, no need to appeal, Please give us time to process the unbans.

Unbans are being applied, we believe we have everyone and will be double checking, If you are not unbanned then it may still be being processed try again in 30 mins.

Introducing the New Role: 'I grate artiste'
Hey everyone! We've noticed an increasing issue with members posting others' work without proper credit or using art bases without acknowledging the original artists. This has resulted in unnecessary pings to the moderation team, which weâre trying to minimize.
To help resolve this, weâre introducing a new role called 'I grate artiste'. Here's how it works:
How to Get the Role: Head over to #â âroles and pick the 'I grate artiste' role for yourself.
Why This Role Exists: This role shows you understand the rules for posting Your art
Rule-Breaking Posts: If you come across posts that break our rules (like uncredited work), please ignore them. Our discord will automatically close these posts if they are not active without the need for manual intervention or pings. we ask that you ONLY ping moderators unless itâs a serious matter (e.g., NSFW content or something similar).

We turned on our new age system today, but unfortunately, we've run into some issues that have negatively affected some users. We're actively working on fixing this and will update you as soon as it's resolved. Once everything is working as intended, we'll provide a full explanation of how the system works and what you need to know.
We've also noticed some users setting joke ages or using their parents' ages. Please make sure your age is set correctly, as incorrect or joke ages could negatively impact your account.

As we welcome new members into our Discord community during this time of year, please remember that they may not immediately grasp our server rules and norms. We ask that you be patient, understanding, and welcoming towards our new friends. Please avoid any form of bullying or mistreatment towards newcomers, as we will not tolerate such behavior.
Let's ensure that our Discord remains an inclusive and respectful platform for all users. Be mindful and welcoming, as you were all new here once as well. By fostering a supportive community, we can grow, build lasting friendships, and maintain an enjoyable safer space for everyone.

How It Works
React with âď¸ to any message in #discord-snowball-fight to Throw a Snowball! and join in.
Add a âď¸ reaction to someoneâs message to hit them with a snowball!
Example: Reacting to Codys message with âď¸ means youâve hit Cody!
You Start with 5 Snowballs.
Every 10 minutes, your snowballs regenerate back to 5.
Track Your Stats!
Every hit will count toward your stats.
Throws: How many snowballs youâve thrown.
Hits: How many times youâve been hit by others!
Watch Out!
If you try to throw a snowball with no snowballs left, youâll get a message saying youâre out of snow!
We track the top 10 players for:
Most Throws
Most Times Hit
There will be a Leader board shown on the 27th December (Probably if it works ok (unlikely), even if not its still fun!!)
topaz horizon
Theres been a boo boo, our fingers are too cold to get the leaderboard to work, but you can check your Score in #discord-snowball-fight by using the command
Beware checking your stats paints a target on you!!
Perhaps when its a bit warmer we can work out that leaderboard.
The fights over folks, hope you didnt get too wet!.
topaz horizon
So the snow was flying during the holidays, this fun experiment taught us many things.
1, Y'all like to throw snowballs.
2, We can capture that.
3, We aren't great at counting that (yet).
4, Next year should be AMAZING!
So we need your help to create the scoreboards, If you took part, head to #discord-snowball-fight and run the command ?snowballs and we can use that to create the Final Leader Boards
