Hey all!

Just wanted to take some time to get a punishment template going for the new staff--I was dealing with some issues in-game regarding disconnecting during a raid and I personally wasn't aware of how to properly deal with it, so I thought it would be a good idea to start a punishment template so new staff members will be able to have a resource to deal with punishing intentional rulebreakers to avoid any confusion or harsh punishment.

Obviously we'll need Joe to establish which violations bring which punishments (our playerbase is small as of now, so lighter punishments are probably the way to go), but here's an example of the template:

*****READ FIRST!*****
GRAB PROPER PROOF OF THE INCIDENT BEFORE YOU BAN/KICK!
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, DO NOT PUNISH PLAYERS WHO ARE LEARNING!
DISTINGUISH A TROLL FROM A NEW PLAYER FIRST BEFORE ANY PUNISHMENT!
A FRIENDLY WARNING IS THE SAFEST THING TO DO IF YOU AREN'T SURE HOW TO DEAL WITH A RULE VIOLATION!

RDM: Kick/Warn
Racism: Kick/Warn
Flaming: Kick/Warn
Micspam: Kick/Warn
Propblock: Kick/Warn
Doorspam: Kick
Prop Minge: Kick
Mass RDM: 12 hour ban
Locking Door During Raid: 12 hour ban
Building During Raid: 12 hour ban
Fading Door Abuse: 12 hour ban
Inentional Propblock: 12 hour ban
Job Abuse: 1 day ban
Raiding while building: 1 day ban
Disconnect During Raid: 1 week ban
Hacking/Exploiting: Permanent ban
Attempting to crash server: Permanent ban
DDoS/Server Attack Threats: Permanent ban

Wasn't able to add a spoiler, but here's the code once the list is compiled for Joe to make the official post for the staff.

Code: [Select]

Staff, feel free to make suggestions on punishment times or violations to add to the list!

The template is ordered by punishment severity.

Let me know what you think!
