A.2Bugs, Glitches and Duplication

A.3Respect for Players and Staff

A.4Chat and Communication

A.8Staff Instructions and Impersonation
PenaltyMute or ban at the discretion of the Staff member involved. Impersonating Staff is a permanent ban.
C.Enforcement and Appeals
This section governs both schedules above. It is how a punishment is decided, what you can do about one, and what will not help.
- C.1Punishments are graduated, but not mechanically so. Severity, intent, your record and whether you were straight with Staff when asked all count. A first offence admitted openly is not treated like a third one denied.
- C.2Enforcement is evidence-based. Screenshots, chat and command logs, anti-cheat records and direct Staff observation are all used, and are retained as described in our Privacy Policy. You may ask what a punishment was based on.
- C.3A Staff decision takes effect when it is issued and is final at that point. Arguing it in public chat does not reverse it and is itself a breach of A.8.
- C.4You may appeal once, by opening a ticket on our Discord server within 14 days of the punishment being applied. Appeals are reviewed by administration and that outcome is final.
- C.5Paying for a rank buys features, not leniency. A ranked player is held to exactly the standard set out above, and a ban forfeits every purchased item on the account with no refund — see our Refund Policy and the suspension clause of our Terms of Service.
- C.6Not knowing a rule is not a defence to breaking it. Neither is "someone else was doing it", "I was joking", or "it was my brother on my account" — under A.7 and the Terms, what happens on your account is yours.
- C.7This document is not exhaustive. Staff may act on conduct that plainly damages the Network or the people on it even where no clause names it precisely, and the clause it is dealt with under will be stated when the punishment is issued.
- C.8To report a breach, open a ticket on our Discord with the username, the approximate time, and any evidence you have. Reports made in public chat are not records and will not be investigated.
