If a rule is broken, there will be consequences for the player who has broken them.

 

First time offenders will be given a warning and suggestion on how to improve their behavior.

Second time offenders will be given a stern warning and may have a certain privilege taken away, such as additional unfilled character slots.

Third time offenders will be suspended from the group for one month real time. They will be allowed to rejoin if they so choose. They will be permanently banned if they continue the behavior that got them suspended.

Fourth time offenders will be permanently banned from the group. Their characters will be killed off and they will be removed from the members list. The server name and password will be changed so that they cannot rejoin. Anyone found to be giving server info to banned players will be banned on the spot.

 

Some rules vary in the severity of their punishment, however. e.g. Accidentally overlooking a post where someone says they are uncomfortable with a topic and continuing to talk about it is something that can easily be shrugged off. Things such as expressing bigotry, bullying others, or continual, unending powerplaying will likely get one suspended on the spot. Excessive rulebreaking or nastiness will get one permanently banned.

 

Punishments such as suspension and banning will happen unannounced. You may later ask a staff member the reason for your suspension or banning, but do not expect them to lift it.
