Rules System

We work on a three-strike system. For a first offense, we issue a verbal warn that does not count against you or have any affect. For every rule broken by a player after that, they will receive one strike. Attaining three strikes within three months will result in a temporary ban from the Minecraft and/or Discord server(s), depending on where the infractions took place, as well as a permanent removal from/inability to participate in our royalty system. Attaining an additional three strikes for a total of six will result in a permanent ban from the Minecraft and/or Discord server(s), depending on where the infractions took place. All Minecraft-banned players are unable to participate in royalty.

Depending on the severity of one infraction, we may issue a double-warn, which is worth two strikes, or even jump straight to a temporary or permanent ban. All results are at our discretion and judged on a case-by-case basis.

Individual infractions expire 3 months after their issued date. They are still logged for our records, but once the three month threshold is passed they will not count towards a temporary or permanent ban.

If a player has been temporarily banned, they are more than welcome to reach out to us via a ⁠ticket after 3 months of their issued ban to ask about the removal of their bar from royalty; this is judged on a case-by-case basis. If a player has been permanently banned, the ban is non-repealable for the server they were banned from.

Infraction Privacy

As we issue infractions, we operate under the conclusion that they are privatised, meaning that we do not announce punishments given to players. This is judged on a case by case basis. The only exception to this clause are when the staff members collectively agree that there is either a safety issue concerning our players/the player removed.

In the event of a member's permanent removal from the server due to a safety concern on the half of our player base, we will typically announce the member and what you can do to avoid any safety concerns. We take safety and security very seriously, and will always put you first if there ever comes a time where someone poses a threat to our community.

In the event of a member's permanent removal from the server due to a safety concern on THEIR half, we will elect to respect their concerns and take the action they deem necessary; this is judged on a case by case basis.

In conclusion, the vast majority of infractions will not be made public unless the member who received it announces it themselves or the safety of our community is in jeopardy.
