Punishments#
There are no fixed punishments for a given action — everything depends on the context. This is what the staff relies on when issuing one.
- A first-time violation is punished far more lightly than repeated ones.
- The more a player breaks the rules, the harsher the punishment.
- A light violation — an insult, spam, flood — leads to a mute starting from 5 minutes; repeated violations may lead to a ban.
- A severe violation — advertising, griefing, selling for real money, insults in voice chat, playing with cheats — leads to a ban starting from 12 hours.
Advice for players#
- If you are being insulted, do not sink to the offender's level and do not insult back, otherwise both of you will be punished.
- If someone is playing with cheats, record it on video so that there is proof against the player. The same goes for insults.
