Table of Punishments
How punishments can work
If you have been warned, and then warned once again it can work as simple as:
- ⚠️ warn + ⚠️ warn = 🔇 mute
- ⚠️ warn + 🔇 mute = ⚠️🔇 warn and mute
- 🔇 mute + 🔇 mute = 👢 kick
- 🔇 mute + 👢 kick = 👢🔇 kick and mute on rejoin
- 👢 2 kicks = 🔨 ban (appealable)
- 🔨 3 bans in a row = 🛑 permanent ban (unappealable)
Punishments are cumulative and can be combined if multiple rules are violated.
Punishment exceptions
- Any moderator may warn or mute you for up to 7 hours.
- Any senior moderator may warn or mute up to 2 days.
- Any admin may warn, mute, or kick.
- Any senior admin may warn, kick, or ban for up to 1 day.
- Any manager or higher may kick, ban, or permanently ban anyone.
Final punishment decisions and durations are at the discretion of the executing staff, as long as they comply with this table.
