Punishment Methods and Policy
Below, each community rule is given a strike-based punishment escalation method appropriate to the violation.


Punishments for Breaking PVP Rules are as follows:
1st Offense A logged Warning and/or Kick from the Server (10 minute Ban)
2nd Offense A 24 Hour Ban from the Server
3rd Offense An appealable Ban from the Server


1. Respect for All Players and Staff

First Offense Verbal warning or formal warning issued via Discord.
Second Offense Temporary Discord mute (24–72 hours) or temporary in-game mute (depending on where the infraction occurred), or both.
Third Offense Escalation to a temporary Discord ban (up to 7 days) or temporary in-game ban (up to 7 days), or both.
Severe or Repeated Violations Permanent Discord ban and/or permanent in-game ban, depending on the scope of the behavior.

Note: Disrespectful behavior toward Staff in particular will escalate more quickly to a temporary ban, as it undermines the ability to maintain an orderly and functional environment.


2. No NSFW Content or Advertising

First Offense Immediate temporary Discord and / or in-game mute (24–48 hours) with a warning about the infraction.
Second Offense Permanent Discord and / or in-game mute.
Severe or Repeated Violations Sharing highly explicit or graphic NSFW content, or egregious advertising (e.g., spamming), will result in an immediate and permanent Discord ban and / or in-game ban without warning.

3. Consistent Identification Across Platforms

First Offense Verbal warning requesting correction within a specified time frame (e.g., 24 hours).
Second Offense Temporary Discord mute until the username issue is resolved.
Third Offense Temporary Discord ban (up to 3 days) to enforce compliance.
Severe or Repeated Violations Permanent Discord ban and restricted in-game access until the user agrees to update their username as required.

Note: This rule generally allows for corrective action rather than punitive measures, except in cases of deliberate refusal to comply.


4. Prohibition of Toxic Behaviors

First Offense Warning and mandatory review of the “What is Toxicity?” section. Behavior Expectations
Second Offense Temporary Discord mute (24–48 hours) and / or in-game mute (depending on the context of the behavior).

5. Respectful Engagement with Server Management

First Offense Verbal warning or formal warning issued via Discord.

Third Offense Temporary Discord ban (up to 7 days) and / or in-game ban for persistent or escalated disrespect.
Severe or Repeated Violations Permanent Discord ban and / or in-game ban for direct, malicious attacks on management or continued attempts to undermine the server’s leadership.
