+ PUNISHMENTS & OTHER RULES

Below are the punishments that are expected for rule-breaking & other guidelines that are enforced by our community.

Not every offense is subject to a set punishment, however rule-breaking of any kind will result in a warning at the least (whether it be from other members in the Discord server or a Discord moderator).

[-] 1.0 | All members of the TJO Discord server are obligated to report any person(s) who discloses personal/classified content or information to them.
1.1 | Failure to cooperate will result in a demotion to Force Sensitive (in reason for conspiring against the will of the rules and Jedi Council).

[-] 2.0 | Any infraction/group/game ban/Discord ban can be appealed after one month in the #appeals channel.
2.1 | You must complete one quota cycle successfully in order to be able to appeal an infraction for activity.
2.2 | If your appeal gets denied, the cooldown to appeal again is two weeks (14 days).
2.3 | Upon being unbanned, members will start at Force Sensitive otherwise at the discretion of the Jedi Council.
2.4 | To appeal game bans or warnings, you must sent an appeal in the #appeals channel.

[-] 3.0 | Accumulating three infractions leads to a demotion one rank down from your current; upon being issued a demotion, infractions are reset (see #infractions).

[-] 4.0 | All TJO-affiliated Discord servers (from divisions to approved servers) do not tolerate any of the following:

- Racial/sexual/sensitive content in any text-channels/voice-channels.
- Censor cursing/swearing via spoilers or through bypass of Discord bot moderation.

Punishments & Other Guidelines

Warning(s) will be given for the listed offenses before infractions are issued. This ruling will not apply if minor offenses are done repeatedly (excessive amounts).

Disrespect (targeted to a group/division/other person(s))
Swearing (censoring, intended explicit language)
Side-chat (several occurrences)
Misuse of Discord bots
Minor/Accidental NSFW
Advertising of non-related TJO content.

If a member breaks a minor rule, and no Jedi Councilor attends to it within 30 days (1 month), punishment will not be issued to said member.
- For reference, major rule obstructions are mass AA (in-game or group), intentional spamming of any harmful content, etc.
Engaging in the flaming (disrespect/slander/etc.) of a division/sub-division or TJO itself can result in a warning or an immediate infraction.
- Similarly, causing divisional conflict will result in either a strike or demotion in the TJO main group.
- While constructive criticism is encouraged, outright insulting and disrespect is not.
In protection of any outside content such as new movies/shows, any act of spoiling can result in an immediate infraction. You may discuss spoilers of any franchise in the #spoilers channel
Impersonation of another individual is a major offense that can result in serious consequences.
Trading your account with anyone for monetary payment or any type of payment is not allowed. Claiming to be rank transferring an account to do this is not allowed and will result in punishment.
Any member caught exploiting, especially any Jedi Knight+, will be banned indefinitely.
