Punishments

  1. First Offense: The first time a rule is broken, the player will receive a warning and may be temporarily muted or kicked from the server.

  2. Second Offense: If the same rule is broken again, or another rule is broken, the player will receive a temporary ban lasting anywhere from one day to one week, depending on the severity of the offense.

  3. Third Offense: A third violation will result in a longer ban, ranging from one week to one month.

  4. Fourth Offense: Any further offenses will lead to a permanent ban from the server.

Severe offenses, such as harassment, hate speech, cheating, or releasing personal information, may result in an immediate temporary or permanent ban, regardless of whether it's the player's first offense. The length and severity of the ban will be at the discretion of the server administrators.

Appeals

Players who have been punished and feel that the punishment was unjust, or that they have served their time and would like to be reinstated, can appeal their case through our official server forum. Here's how to do it:

  1. Create an Appeal Post: Navigate to the "Ban Appeals" section of our forum and create a new post.

  2. Required Information: Your post must include the following details:

    • Your real name.
    • Your in-game name (IGN).
    • The reason you were given for the ban.
    • The date you were banned.

  3. Reasoning: In your post, you should provide a detailed explanation of why you believe the punishment was unjust or why you believe you should be allowed back on the server. Be sure to be honest, sincere, and respectful in your appeal.

  4. Wait for Response: After you submit your appeal, please wait patiently for a response. The moderation team will review your appeal and respond in due time.

Please note that submitting an appeal does not guarantee that your punishment will be lifted. The final decision rests with the server administrators.
