Ban Time Adjustments

[idiot 502]

Smh. At least it's not more "soonTM" stuff.

What about the GMs who made the GM shop system to abuse for their own benefit and then duck out of their duties with Minas in store.

Will these new rules take priority over past judgements?

 

Yes. Players will still have to appeal but if it's been over one month they will be unbanned, permitting the appeal is accepted. (Not that it's hard, x-ray bans are mostly about waiting out the time).

Everyone does anyway.

[Elfen_ 232]

So xray is basically allowed?

 

lol what a joke of a ban time "One month".

 

Though it would be better if this one month kept stacking the more you get caught(Eventually a permaban).

They got put in the guillotine but it turned out the blade for it was duped so they had to reschedule until they could get a legitimate one.

X-Raying

While X-raying damages the server economy we realize it is generally not done with malicious or destructive intent, but rather to give yourself or your group an unfair and selfish advantage. In the event of a ban (on the terms that you cooperate with staff & return all mined ores) we have reduced the time from 3 months, to a 1 month ban. This does not apply to a repeated offense.

 

Wipe the experience too

If you're found to be using x-ray, you get banned for three months. You work with us and return all the money, items, and ore you obtained, then we call it even and drop it down to a month. You make it harder than it has to be (I.E., having to sift through 30 pages of logblock actions, chat, and chest-access) then don't expect any leniency. 

 

What do you gain for banning someone three months instead of one? One month is still a long time. Long enough to ensure it won't happen again. And if it does? 6 months, 1 year+, that's a lot longer than one month. X-ray is still cheating, x-ray is still giving yourself an advantage because you don't want to abide by the same rules as the others, but it's not as malicious as severe harassment, hacking or exploiting to change the outcome of a war or important battle, or duping items with intent.

Well, I am not saying to use xray as I am not a fan of people who cheat. Merely asking a question that you seemed to generally answered. It just one of those things that is silly and for some reason some people seem to thing their reasoning is good enough to use it(from what I've seen).

I like this, if you find someone abusing x-ray, take away all of their experience too if they don't cooperate.

Does we mean we can unban Kincaid?

We should get a LotC medpack to dedicate it to Kinc-Aid

[Chaw 964]

haha, jokes on you. xray doesn't even work

[Ricky 321]

A step back, we need fascism or nothing, perma ban for dissent and memes....

[Arteh 1837]

The 'Mechanical' ban is just redundant and stupid.

 

It's unnecessary to have, if someone is banned 3-4 years ago, and try to appeal now but back then they got a 'Mechanical' ban, they still remain banned? 

 

Chances are more than likely you'll not even be around then, so I think that is just silly. A perma-ban can be a perma-ban without needing mechanical usage, it's really very simple.
