Punishment Guidelines
Send any inquiries about offenses not listed here to any senior-admin or above.
Warnings must be given before punishing, unless it is in the permanent ban category or is marked with an asterisk.
If an offense has two asterisks, then it can only be handled by 18+ staff.
If an offense is marked by a ¤, it is a communication punishment.
You may extend a punishment beyond the set time stated by the guidelines if you feel like it is necessary and can justify your actions.

Increasing Punishments Lengths
If the user has received more than five bans, the user is subject to a permanent ban.
Players should be warned that their next punishment is permanent (always in the case of communications.)
Time is in minutes.
If the user attempts to bypass communication punishments (for example, changing names), they may be banned equal to their mute length.
For 60 min offenses (comms and bans): 60 -> 240 -> 720 -> 1440 -> 4320 -> 10080 -> 0.
For 1-day offenses (comms and bans): 1440 -> 4320 -> 10080 -> 20160 -> 0.
For 1-week offenses (comms and bans): 10080 -> 44640 -> 0.
For 1-month offenses (Comms and bans): 44640 -> 0.
- A player must be warned about their next permanent communication ban unless they have a warning in their previous one and that punishment is at least 1 week long.
- The exception is immediate permanent offenses.
- All permanent communication bans should be silences.
- All punishments scale within their own type of punishment (ban, comm, or guardban.)
- For example, a 60 minute ghosting gag would stack with a 60 minute mic spam mute, making it a 120 minute mute.
- However, if someone is banned 60 minutes for Spawncamp, it would not stack with a 60 minute spam mute.
- For example, a 60 minute ghosting gag would stack with a 60 minute mic spam mute, making it a 120 minute mute.
