Staff Tips

Modified

Keep your ban reasons clean professional. No personal comments from yourself or quotes from the banned player is allowed. Any context surrounding the ban is fine.

Good example of a ban message: "MNLR | FailRP | Kept interfering in raids as sewer lord". Bad example of a ban message: "ARDM, learn how to aim shitter" 

 

RDM

Modified

Accidental: Verbal warning would be given unless it could have obviously been avoided. 
Intentional: Verbal/Warning or a 1 hour -3 day ban. Punishment is at your discretion. Remember, education>punishment.

• If the player is RDMing for false reasons and is asked to stop (ex: Revolution is over but still killing CP) the ban should result in a Verbal/Warn or a 1 hour - 24-hour ban depending on the player's attitude
• If the player killed the person for "Revenge RDM" because they are angry they lost then it should result in a warn or 1 hour - 3-day ban depending on the player's attitude and punishment history
• If the player killed the person for no reason but to just kill them, a 3-day ban should be issued for "No Intention to RP" If the player RDM'd someone and has multiple recent warns(i.e: three RDM warns within 2 weeks) then a 3 day ban can be issued for "IRDM | NITRP"

Mass RDM: Intentional or not can default to a one week ban. Use your best judgement here. As a staff member you have final say in punishment, there is no minimum time for any mass ban, if it was an accident you can verbal, or even give a 1 hour ban. (ex: Someone forgets to advert PD raid and kills 3+ players, you can then verbal for fail raiding instead of banning for MRDM)
Mass RDM w/ NITRP: Will default up to a one week ban (ex: Someone joins, instantly goes bounty hunter to shoot everyone on the street and LTAP when they are jailed)

 

NLR

Modified

NLR exists. Consider the risk / loss if someone breaks NLR

Single NLR: Verbal or warn. Repeat offender probably deserves a warn.

Intentional NLR: NLR involving a raid is more serious and can result in either a warn or 1 hour - 3 day ban. 
Mass NLR: Intentional NLR or NLR involving a raid is more serious and can result in either a warn or ban. Use your best judgement on this, mass anything can result in a 7 day ban.

 

RDA

Modified

Accidental: Usually A verbal warning would be given unless it could have obviously been avoided. In this case usually an apology is all that's needed + a refund if necessary.
Intentional: But with a false reason, then a warning or a CP ban should be given.
Intentional: With no reason then the ban should result in a warning up to a 6 hour - 3-day ban. Intentionally RDA'ing would result in a punishment of a warning/cp ban, up to a 1 hour - 3 day ban.

• If the cop arrested someone for being RDMed earlier, the ban should be 6 hour - 24 hours depending on the attitude of the player Verbal/Warn or CP ban the player.
• If the cop arrested someone due to some personal grudge against the user, the ban should be 6 hour - 24 hours depending on the attitude of the player Warn/1 hour - 3 day ban or 3 hour cp ban.
• If the cop arrested someone for absolutely no reason, the ban should be 24 hours at a minimum

Mass RDA: Intentional or not can lead to one week ban.

Acceptable CP Ban lengths: 15-30 minutes - 1 hour - 3 hour - 6 hour. For the six hour ban, use this for serious offenses in which you would rather use a lesser punishment, or have them educated. For example: A cop arrests 7 people but apologizes or has a good attitude in the sit, you can then 6 hour cp ban instead of the normal 7 day MRDA ban.

 

FTC

Removed FTC entirely

Not listening to a staff member / continues to cause issues / not helping staff resolve their issue 1-day - 3-day ban depending on the player attitude
Running away from a sit / not listening 1-day ban - 3-day ban depending on the player attitude

Notes: With FTC being removed I would like to remind all the staff reading this changelog that you can include context in ban reasons. The only thing not allowed in ban messages are personal comments. An example of something allowed in a ban message: "MNLR, kept interfering in raids as sewer lord after being verbaled", an example of a ban message still NOT allowed "MNLR, bro is missing brain cells, I told him not to go back and now he's banned..."

April 1st changelog

• changed punishment guidelines regarding alting while banned

If a player is caught alting to avoid punishment, the proper punishment is to double the original ban time (up to 6mo) and apply it to both the main and alt account. Alting while not banned is allowed, however punishments on the alt will be given to the main as well.
