Types of Penalties

When an infraction of the server rules has been made, and moderation action is required, server staff may penalize offenders with the following:

Warnings

  • Official — Official record that remains active for 2 months from date of issue
  • Permanent — Similar to official warnings, but stays active until successfully appealed

Accumulation of 3 active warnings will lead to a 1 week temporary ban, with an additional 1 week per active warning above 3.

Bans

  • Temporary — Any temporary ban in excess of 31 days is upgraded to an appealable permanent ban.
  • Permanent — Remains in place till successfully appealed.
  • Permanent (Unappealable) — Cannot be appealed. Downgraded to appealable permanent bans 6 months from the date of issue.

Tips for Successful Appeal

  • Show Understanding — Showing understanding and acknowledging the mistake or offense leads to a higher chance of appeal acceptance. If unsure, of the reason, feel free to ask a member of staff.
  • Your track record matters — Having multiple past offenses result in a lower chance of acceptance. You are advised to take a month or two to reflect, then appeal again.
  • Appeal when appropriate — 24 hours from the time of issue for all penalties, except unappealable permanent bans where the earliest appeal should be considered 6 months from the time of issue.
  • Hostile Behavior won't get you anywhere — Making threats, using insults, name-calling will not result in acceptance. Please ensure that your language is not in a demeaning/demanding tone.
  • Sincerity matters — Be sincere in your appeal, don't do it "for the sake of doing it".
  • Accept and move on — If your appeal is rejected, appeal again after a month or stipulated time period.
