Honest slips and first mistakes. Usually a word from staff or a logged warning • repeats climb the ladder.
Breaks that spoil a scene for other people. Warnings escalate quickly into mutes, kicks or short bans.
Deliberate or repeated harm to roleplay or players. A temporary ban is on the table from the first offence.
The line you don't come back from. Expect a long or permanent ban, often without a warning first.
Exact punishments follow each rule's escalation ladder • every repeat offence moves you a step up it.
If you only remember four things, remember these. Everything else in this rulebook grows out of them.
