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. |

| 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.
