1 - How to enforce:

This section is mainly for enforcers, being Officers+ and Game Administrators. 

• Punishments may vary from in-game written warnings to permanent bans.

• Neutrality is key, emphasizing the importance of applying rules uniformly to avoid favoritism and bias and ensure fair judgment for all.

• Documentation is the most important part of enforcement, keeping records of punishments issued, including screenshots, logs and/or videos of offenses, these are mainly needed for server bans and permanent bans.

• It is essential to make your ban reasons clear and follow the punishments criteria below, this ensures clarity with the offender and avoids useless disputes.

• If an enforcer does not have the permissions to issue a permanent ban, they must seek assistance from a higher-ranked person who holds the necessary permissions (HC or GA Officers). In situations where contacting a higher ranked is not possible or unavailable, the enforcer should use the alternative punishment available to them, such as issuing a server ban or a kick, in accordance with their assigned administrative permissions.

• Generally punishments have an application chain and are to be followed;

  • Warning → kick → Server Ban (as example).

1.1 - Warnings:

• Ensure a clear and direct communication with the offender when it comes to warning them, by addressing the violated rule and avoiding vague language/explanations.

• Moderators have to remain calm, respectful and professional when dealing with offenders, and avoid personal remarks.

• Clarify the misunderstandings of the offender if they seem confused or ask questions about their offense.

• Warnings are to be issued privately preferably via the :pm command. Public warnings should only be given in cases where the offense is massively getting violated by other players at the same time. Giving a blanket warning is the best fit with the :m command.
