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 Sheet¹.

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 Sheet¹.
3. Record the kick count in the "Player Tracking" section of the Moderation Sheet¹.

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 Sheet¹.
