Color System

Color Code

This system is used to categorize the severity of offenses and the corresponding punishments on the server*

Minor

Offenses that are considered less severe or accidental, typically involving first-time or unintentional rule violations.

  • First offense: Warning in chat from staff.
  • Second offense: Warning issued, and the offense will be permanently recorded in the player's profile.
  • Third offense: Temporary ban (1–3 days).
  • Fourth offense: Longer temporary ban (1+ week).
  • Fifth offense: Extended temporary ban (1+ month).

Moderate

Offenses that are more serious, often involving repeat behavior or actions that disrupt the server. These offenses require stronger consequences but still allow the possibility for the player to improve.

  • First offense: Warning or temporary ban (1–3 days).
  • Second offense: Longer temporary ban (1+ week).
  • Third offense: Extended ban (1+ month).
  • Fourth offense: Permanent ban. No further warnings will be issued.

  • Second offense: Extended ban (1+ month).
