## Standard Operating Procedures
### Three Plus Three Strikes *
The three strikes system applies to bans and kicks. All strikes with reason and the person applying the strikes will be recorded in the Moderation Sheet[^1].
### Kicks
Each player gets three kicks before a ban, however, bans may be applied before all three kicks are used. A player may be kicked for minor infractions which are up the discretion of the admin or moderator that witnessed the action and or received and validated a report. Every kick may be appealed.
Kicking a player:
1. Ensure that when using the `/kick` command, that you include a brief reason in the kick message.
2. Record the kick, reason, IGN and date in the "Strike Tracking" section of the Moderation Sheet[^1].
3. Record the kick count in the "Player Tracking" section of the Moderation Sheet[^1].
### Bans
Each player gets two bans. The first ban will last one week, the second two weeks, and finally the third will be indefinite and non-appealable.
Banning a player:
1. Ensure that when using the `/ban` command that you include a brief reason in the ban message.
2. Record the ban, reason, IGN and date in the "Strike Tracking" section of the Moderation Sheet[^1].
3. Record the ban count in the "Player Tracking" section of the Moderation Sheet[^1].
#### Appeals
Each player may submit an appeal for admin review. Appeals will only be handled by admins and must be submitted by email.
### Whitelisting
When whitelisting a player, the following must happen:
1. Make the user aware of this website and ask that they take a moment to review it. Especially the [Code of Conduct](code_of_conduct.md)
2. Add the user to the discord and assign verified role.
3. Add player to the "Player Tracking" section of the Moderation Sheet[^1].
