itdontmatta 7181 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 ━━━━━━━━┛ ✠ ┗━━━━━━━━ MODERATION TEAM UPDATE Spring 2022 ━━━━━━━━┓ ✠ ┏━━━━━━━━ Hi everyone! I want to personally thank you all for your patience in awaiting a Mod Team update. I apologize that it has taken so long, though I wanted to put it off until we had exciting news to share about our directional changes on the server. Firstly, I'd like to say congratulations to our new additions. We’ve truly stacked our roster this time around, and the team looks forward to working closely with them in the coming months. Infraction Hub [COMPLETE] The current infraction system, while serving the purpose of recording rule-breaking history, does not encourage players to learn from their mistakes. Day or week bans, categorized by an arbitrary "level 4" or "level 5" infraction, ultimately create a confusing and inconsistent rule enforcement. In essence, our team will be getting rid of small, punitive day bans. Instead, we will be replacing them with longer punishments that are given after multiple warnings. Infractions will continue to serve as a record of a rule-breaking history. Though, we have now implemented an automatic one-year expiration (thank you @Llir) on all minor and moderate infractions in each category. Old System New System Understandably, Mod Team's new direction in giving longer punishments can be quite concerning. I want to assure everyone of our philosophy - these bans should not happen often. Situations with repeat rule-breakers will be analyzed, and the team will determine whether it is the fault of our rules for being too easy to break. If such is true, the rule will be adjusted accordingly. Perhaps the most exciting part for you, my lovely reader, is that all infractions level 5 and below will be expunged from player history. If your UUID is not on this list, you will have a clean record starting today. If your UUID is on this list and would like to inquire more, you may contact myself or a mod manager on discord. Current bans will not be lifted or affected by this change. Rule Reorganization [COMPLETE] The rules page will now reflect each infraction category. A screenshot of our infraction guidelines has been provided on the rules page to provide transparency behind bans & ban history with players. Appeals & Reports [COMPLETE] A significant problem with the Mod team was the lack of transparency regarding bans. In taking on a more “rehabilitative” standpoint with the rules & punishment, we have decided to push for more openness in appeals and reports. All mod appeals & reports are now public. Raid Rule Rewrite [COMPLETE] The previous raid rules were filled with a lot of features and functions from previous maps. We have rewritten raid rules to be concise & to the point, while also maintaining the balance between attackers and defenders. Huge shoutout to @Masouriand @Miofor their initiative on this. Petty Theft & Heist Rewrite [IN PROGRESS] More to come! Forum Mods, Rules, and Warning Points.. oh no! [IN PROGRESS] More to come! Thank you, itdontmatta & the Mod Team 35 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this count for past infractions because I still have a 2 year warning on forgetting to sign my name on the forums. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
