RetroMC Punishment Manual

The RetroMC Punishment Manual (RPM) is designed to outline the punishments issued to players for different offences.

This Document is currently in draft and I wouldn't recommend touching it without asking first.

Advertising

Advertising can be broken up between Malicious and non Malicious advertising and thus various cases should be handled differently. It should be noted that mentioning the names of other servers or other off-topic activities and discussing them is not necessarily a punishable offence however it is the direct advertising and distribution of server ip's or links that's the issue.

Malicious Advertising

An Example for what can be considered Malicious Advertising. As you can see, this user is directly inviting people to an alternative server and asking them to play there, which is a direct conflict of interest for the server, from the context given this player seems to be at best unaware of how this could cause harm to the server, or at worse just doesn't care and thus was promptly banned. Players like these can make appeals but will have a permanent record on their ban history.

Non-Malicious Advertising

An example for what can be considered Non-Malicious Advertising. As you can see, this user had posted a link to another server in response to another player asking if there were any legacy anarchy servers. While this user did post an IP to another server which is a conflict of interest and does harm the server, it is clear that it was not their intention to directly harm the server. Players like these should promptly be met with a warn, a mute, then a ban for this behavior.

Changelog

All changes to the RPM are to be documented accordingly.
