Warning System
1. The first time you break a rule, an admin will give you a verbal warning. Your warn level will not be raised.
2. The next time you break a rule, your warn level will be raised by 1. This will continue to happen until your warn level reaches 4. When this happens, you will either be suspended or banned, depending on your previous record.
3. The first time your warn level reaches 4, you'll be suspended for 1-2 weeks. Second time, 4-6 weeks. Upon return from your second suspension, if you still feel the need to get in trouble, you're out, and will find yourself permanently banned.
4. Disciplining members is not something the staff enjoys doing. But it has to be done. If you find yourself on the receiving end of disciplinary action, accept it, learn from your mistake, and move on. If you argue with the staff about it, you are far more likely to be the subject of further disciplinary action. However, if you genuinely feel that you have been treated unfairly, please PM an active administrator explaining in clear, level-headed terms why you feel this way, and send any relevant logs or screen captures to demonstrate this. We do take fairness seriously, and we will carefully review your case and get back to you.
5. All actions in this system are at the jurisdiction of the staff. We can and will go straight to a suspension or straight to a permanent ban if we deem a harsher punishment necessary. But we don't do that often - if you try in earnest to obey the rules, you won't find yourself banned.
RP Rules
